Eno’s Scoresheet Disasterpiece
Sorry we haven’t been keeping up on the Scoresheet coverage. Here’s the problem: so far, my team is terrible. I don’t feel I can advise anyone on this format yet. In fact, I need your help! So, I’ll post my team here and ask you what I should do. Because the latest results just came in, and after being shut out twice this week, I’m now worst in the league at 13-31. I should sell, but I can’t sell low. I don’t even know what to sell for, other than a third baseman, and maybe some offense.
I hang my head in shame.
Save Sarris, 12-team AL-only Scoresheet
(AL-Skeeter, commished by King Kaufman).
So? What should I do? Sell all my veterans for prospects and young players? Which shortstop do you keep? Can’t sell Pujols low, so that means selling Napoli? If I target anything in my trades, is it more pitching or hitting? Gotta be hitting.
Sigh.
Thanks to @AgainstKyle for the picture!
With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
Disclaimer: I know almost nothing about Scoresheet. Why are you hitting Pennington first, and why are you hitting Pujols third. Both of those seem to fly in the face of what we know about lineup optimization.
Actually that was the first change I made today. I don’t think it’s been a big deal, but it was a bad idea. I had Yunel in that spot for a while, and he’s supposed to have a good OBP… As for Pujols, I’ve switched him and Napoli some.
