Roto Riteup — presented by DraftKings: September 20, 2014

Happy weekend, baseball fans. Today’s Roto Riteup is filled with arbitrary goodness.

On today’s agenda:
1. Brandon Belt is back
2. Carlos Frias to start Sunday
3. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
4. The Falsidical Five

Brandon Belt is back
Belt returned to the field yesterday after effectively missing the last two months with a concussion; Belt played a little in August, but he was put back in the DL after five games. Belt has shown improved power in his short stint this year, but his strikeout rate has weighed him down, as has his BABIP. While Belt’s last week of the season isn’t of much interest, his 2015 season could bring some exciting times.

Carlos Frias to start Sunday
The Dodgers are pushing Dan Haren back a day to Monday, so Frias is going to take the mound against the Cubs. Frias has started two games already this year; one of them went well, and the other not so much. Frias went six scoreless in his first start of the year, but didn’t make it out of the first inning last week against the Rockies. Frias probably won’t be asked to go more than a few innings thanks to the expanded rosters, but he’ll be a good guy to occupy a RP spot for you this weekend.
