Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness over the last 30 days, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s basically a risky stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more value focusing on roto.

Last week, I examined if throwing too many four-seam fastballs led to a pitcher being predictable and getting hit around. What I noticed was that I needed to expand out past just four-seamers and include sinkers. Again, I failed to find a connection between fastball quality-and-quantity and weakly hit batted balls. Instead, I was able to determine some benchmarks to find good fastballs.
Through some observations, I believed that throwing too many fastballs, especially if they were of poor quality (e.g. slow, average spin), would get hit harder. I dug through the numbers just hoping for my thoughts to be verified but I found jack squat. Nothing. Read the rest of this entry »
In the article, I cover the players using CBS’s (about 40% or less initial roster rate) and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both hosting sites have the option for daily and weekly waiver wire adds. CBS uses a weekly change while Yahoo looks at the last 24 hours. Yahoo is a great snapshot of right now while CBS ensures hot targets from early in the week aren’t missed. The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference grouped by starters, relievers, and hitters. Read the rest of this entry »
The 2023 version of the Bullpen Report includes five different sections, as well as the closer chart, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
We will always include a link to the full Closer Depth Chart at the bottom of the Bullpen Report each day. It’s also accessible from the RosterResource drop-down menu and from any RosterResource page. Please let us know what you think.
The “RosterResource” link will take you to the corresponding team’s RosterResource depth chart, which will give you a better picture of the full bullpen and results of the previous six days (pitch count, save, hold, win, loss, blown save).
Click HERE to view the full Closer Depth Chart.
Angels
• Hunter Renfroe has sat in two of the last five games. He might have joined Taylor Ward and Mickey Moniak in an timeshare for two outfield spots.
• Jared Walsh (vs RHP) and Luis Rengifo (vs LHP) are in a platoon.
Astros
• Jake Meyers (.730 OPS), Chas McCormick (.710 OPS), and Corey Julks (.673 OPS) are sharing two outfield spots. Read the rest of this entry »
