Guys wearing nothing but raspberries, screaming to the camera, “We’re the Fram-Boys! We celebrate Framber Valdez with every fiber of our body, and our body is eight grams dietary fiber in every cup. And, go ahead, and give us a cup check! It’s filled with raspberries, wanna see?” Back to the studio for Astros’ announcer, Todd Kalas, laughing, “Those Fram-Boys! Sure hope they don’t stain any linens.” Framber Valdez (9 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.50) just notched his 24th consecutive Quality Start. Framber heard to be celebrated here but nowhere else, because Amber Heard sued Johnny Depp and is in that sentence? On the next Povich! Yeah, I don’t know why, but Framber seems to be way below other similar pitchers in people’s minds. Here’s one for you: Framber Valdez or Sandy Alcantara? Sandy’s discussed in Cy Young terms; Framber is teammates to a guy who might win the Cy Young. Are Sandy and Framber Valdez that different? Are Framber and Sandy Alcantara that different for 2023 fantasy? I’m not being daft, here’s some peripherals: 8.5 K/9, 3.09 xFIP, 2.50 ERA vs. 8.1 K/9, 3.39 xFIP and 2.43 ERA. Any ideas which is which? The better peripherals? They’re Framber Valdez’s! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Trevor Rogers – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 5.35. Rogers That! Looked dominant early, but Rogers seemed to tire late, because I don’t need him getting any of that helium for 2023 fantasy drafts. Makes voice sound like a Smurf, “I got enough helium!”
Jorge Soler – Will not return this season. A redheaded orphan, sobbing, “It’s bad enough I’m an orphan and a redhead, but now you’re telling me Soler won’t come out tomorrow?!”
Glenn Otto – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 4.71. Streamonator didn’t love this start, but I streamed Otto, hoping for a wow, got a huh. As long as it was palindromic, I guess.
Jon Gray – 3 2/3 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 3.70 as he was activated from the IL. He’s returning from a six-week absence due to an oblique, and, if being honest, I think every starter should have one of these. Pitchers clearly can’t throw the whole year anymore. Okay, outside of, like, three starters, maybe. Alcantara, Nola and, hmm, I guess Burnes. So give them a non-arm injury, and let them take six weeks to rest. You think I’m joking, but we’re about a decade from one guy per year getting 200 IP…Did I say a decade? I meant a year.
Bubba Thompson – 1-for-7, 2 runs and his 14th and 15th steal, and four steals in three games. “I used to get the admiration of the fantasy baseballers. Now, it’s that guy,” said Jon Berti, patting his eyes dry, looking out over the diamond to Bubba.
Marcus Semien – 4-for-9, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 22nd homer. Semien got that jack off Hoeing, and sometimes these things write themselves.
Corey Seager – 1-for-8, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 30th homer. Seager’s also came off Hoeing, and, honestly, I’m a juvenile. I can’t be given this. Hoeing?! Come on! Literally!
Josh Jung – 2-for-8, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Watched one at-bat of Jung’s vs. Rogers, where Jung looked so overpowered, I was embarassed for him, but he came back and didn’t let it bother him. Impressed more with that poise, then some of his at-bats.
Mike Trout – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 35th homer, and 7th game in a row with a home run. “Hello, is this the cemetery where Dale Long is buried? I have orders from Rob Manfred to escort Mr. Long’s remains to the next Mike Trout game in case his record is broken. Who am I? I’m Rob Manfred Jr. Who the hell are you?!” So, Mike Trout is within one home run of the record to tie Dale Long, Ken Griffey Jr. and Don Mattingly. Though, it should be noted, Mattingly had a mustache at the time.
Matt Duffy – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Only seven more to tie Dale Long! Imagine that was my roundups all year. How many home runs until Dale Long was tied. Then you can tell people, “Yeah, you should read Razzball, he tracks Dale Long’s consecutive home run record every day. Then, when a player gets close, he talks about digging up Dale Long and bringing him to the park.” That scenario of you telling someone that makes me chuckle.
Reid Detmers – 5 IP< 4 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 3.82. Detmers and Suarez are Scherzer and deGrom of “You think you can trust them, but then you can’t.” Streamonator kinda likes Detmers’s next start, but do I trust him? What did I just get done saying?
Ryne Nelson – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, ERA at 0.00 after two starts. He was followed in this game by Kyle Nelson (0 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 2.19), as the Dbacks honored the Television Academy with a nod to The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. If you get that reference, you’re old. Go back to bed. You deserve it.
Tony Gonsolin – Not able to throw at full intensity during his bullpen session. Dave Roberts said, “I’m confident Gonsolin can start playoff games.” He didn’t add, “H2H playoff games.”
Mookie Betts – 1-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 34th homer. Mookie Best!
Tyler Anderson – 7 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 2.62. Next year, just draft all Dodgers starters on one team, and collect your winnings in October. Seriously, stop trying to complicate things. It’s not worth it.
Alex Cobb – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.48. Wow, corn really is having its moment. Thank you, TikTok.
Spencer Strider – 5 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.72. With genuine sincerity, Strider’s going to pitch four innings next year and his arm is going to fall off.
Hunter Greene – Will return later this week. Can’t camouflage this guy’s excitement! (Until Greene invariably gives up 5 ER in 3 IP.)
Ke’Bryan Hayes – 2-for-5, 1 run and his 16th and 17th steal, hitting .244. Whomever is helping Oneil Cruz with his hitting, well, can Ke’Bryan listen in? Maybe pay for half of the lessons?
Bryan Reynolds – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 22nd homer. Reynolds is a trade or signing with Cincy away from being a 30-homer, .290 hitter. Ooh, ooh! Bryan Reynolds on the Rockies? Yummers! And don’t be like, “That’s Bryan to a T, as in Bryant, and Kris sucks.” I don’t want to hear your slander right now, I’m being positive.
Diego Castillo – 1-for-2, 2 RBIs and his 11th homer, as he was recalled. Ca’still-don’t trust the Pirates to play him, though.
Rodolfo Castro – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .233. The Communist Reindeer has big-time power, and has two homers in three games, and might hit .180.
Aristides Aquino – 2-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 8th homer. I’d like to see Aquino get 550 ABs, but I also like chaos.
Chris Bassitt – 3 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.44. He had one of the worst outings of his season in front of his family. See, yesterday was bring your dog to the park day at Metco.
Rafael Ortega – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 7th homer. Nearly grabbed Ortega for a batty call, but I had Bassitt pitching in multiple leagues and had too much faith in my pitcher. Haha, silly me.
Zach McKinstry – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and had a four-hit night the day before, i.e., hot schmotato alert!
Javier Assad – 6 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.53. Grabbed him for the stream, but, once again, I had too much faith in Bassitt, so I left Assad on my bench. Sonavabench! Streamonator won’t ever like him, but his next start is about as close as it’s going to come, and I should’ve had a sweet two-start week and I benched him! I am literally the dumbest. I have a ribbon to prove it. I forget where I put it though.
Bo Bichette – 2-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 24th homer, hitting .281. It’s bad Bo o’clock, baby! Where’s everyone who drafted Bichette and abandoned us around July for fantasy football? I want just desserts! By the way, our Streamonator for football, the fantasy football tools won Donkey Teeth $20,000 on Sunday, I’m not even joking. BDon and I talk about that on the podcast this week. Any hoo! Who’s your daddy?! Dante! On the Player Rater, Bichette has a legit chance for top 12 overall! It wasn’t always pretty, but it’s definitely not ugly.
Jose Berrios – 6 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.07. I’m glad when I look at Berrios’s ERA this offseason it’s going to look atrocious so I’m not bamboozled into drafting him again.
Yu Chang – Claimed off waivers by the Red Sox. Hey, real question, why did the Red Sox stop trying and when can they stop stop trying again?
Tim Anderson – Meeting with a hand specialist about his finger. How did that hand specialist get that hand job? Reese McGuire?
Grey!!!
Awesome!!!
a. Arrived Toronto as follows.
1 Plane landed: 5pm
2 cleared customs: 6:10pm
3 arrived at destination: 7:10pm
Beat dead, bushed and tired. We left the house this AM at 5:00am.
b. George Carlin quote of the day for September 13, 2022
Many people work on war plans; not too many work on peace plans. They even have a war college at Ft. McNair, Washington. They call it the National Defense University, but it’s a war college. They don’t have a peace college. And they have war plans for every contingency, no matter how remote. If Easter Island gives us some crap tomorrow, we have a plan in a computer that tells us exactly how to thoroughly bomb the shit out of Easter Island. You name the country, we’ve got the plan. #p.237

Awesome, man! Have an amazing time! B. Haha
Hi Grey. In search of the elusive stolen base. Should I pick up up Josh Rojas. Kinda-Falefa or wait for Bader who’s due back later in the week. Runs would be a plus also but I think all three should score above average runs. Thanks
IKF
?
Thank you
No problem
Isiah
Last week of playoff semis. Down by 1R, 1HR, and 2RBI’S. Start Nimmo vs Sampsom or JT vs Alacantra? And ok to start Falter vs Miami tonite? Much thanks for all your advice this season
Nimmo…ok to start Falter if you need it, doesn’t sound great tho
Hey Grey so it looks like Corbin Carroll is sitting against all lefties now and hasn’t done too much against righties, is he a drop in redraft?
Can drop him, yeah
1) Are you starting McClanahan if he is activated Thurs @ TOR?
2) Which of these starters do you drop to activate (with remaining match ups) in a keeper
Cueto @DET DET @MIN
May @ARI ARI STL COL
S Gray KC @CLE LAA @DET
Sandoval @CLE @TEX OAK
Thanks!
1. Sure, but I am scared
2. Cueto, I guess
Mo G, Mo Monies,
What to do with Trevor Story? Out with a random heel injury / pain. Listed day to day. Worth dropping for Tony Kemp, Segura, Nico, or Thairo Estrada?
Thank you, sir!
-IANASM
My main IANASM! Stroy sucks, lose him — Thairo
Did I wake up in some kind of alternate universe, where the Pirates are a good hitting team?
Put Pirates in Cincy and they’re good…put anyone in Cincy and they’re good
Except for Cincy!
Haha, they’re better there than they would be in Pittsburgh
Hey man, hope all is good. Start Waldichuk at Texas tonight, in a roto playoff game
No way, my man
Thank you!
No problem
Keep Waino for his start vs Mil tomorrow, or go ahead and drop?
Seems ok
Hi Grey,
i have managed to stay in second place in my 12 Yahoo league. The season ends on October 5. My previous best finish was ninth.i am down to 93 innings. i have recently decided to use a criteria of only starting pitchers if their razz dollars is over 20. Does this criteria make sense?
A. Thus in the next week, i decided to start these pitchers. Please look at these starts and let me know if you agree
1. Corbin Burnes at St. Louis and then at home against the Mets.
2. Miles Mikolas at home against Cincinnati
3. Cristian Javier at Detroit
4. Jeffrey Springs home against Texas
5. Nick Lopodo at home against Pittsburgh.
B. Other possible starts could include Kramer at Washington and then home against Detroit.
C. I am really unsure of Pablo Lopez at home against Philadelphia and then the Cubs.
I am looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks!
Martin
Sounds fine to me for 1. 1-5, I wouldn’t touch B. or C.
Thank you. Your help is very much appreciated!
No problem
Dynasty League
14 Teams
Rodolfo Castro, Luis Urias and Aquino, Manzardo, Lewin Diaz and Aranda are available.
Would you pick up any in the place of Juan Yepez, Jarren Durran, Nolan Jones, or Darik Hall?
Castro, Urias, Aquino and Aranda over all four
Drop hoerner for lane Thomas?
Trout has 35 home runs in 100 games, 365 at bats – maybe you’re right when you wrote a few days ago that the “Trout is overrated” thing needs to be re-thought.
Question – thoughs on Castellanos for next year? He seriously underperformed what he put up last season.
I mean, you have to go all the way back to his first full season in 2014 where he hit only 11 HRs and had a slugging% of .394 to match the putridness of his 2022 season
Wonder if Castellanos is injured…Or he just got really old, fast…His Hard Hit rate is awful…He’s a mess, wouldn’t be in on him next year, not worth it
Need to bench one of Teoscar or Nathaniel Lowe today. Teoscar has been scuffling lately but he plays a double header (albeit against the Rays). Lowe faces Waldichuk. Lowe, who has been fire past two months, has better numbers against lefties, but not at home, and Waldichuk has been lights out against lefties (albeit in two starts). Hittertron says start Teoscar. Do we agree?
Bench Lowe, go for the extra ABs
Could also bench Jake McCarthy against Kershaw but McCarthy’s been so red hot…
Can’t bench McCarthy
Drop hoerner for lane Thomas?
Please pick one
Stripling home vs Rays or
Tijuan Walker home vs Pirates
Walker
Start or Sit
Springs @ TOR (Merryweather)
Pivetta v BOS (Probably Cole)
Thanks as always.
Pivetta v BOS? What?
Sorry NYY
Sounds terrible, Springs doesn’t sound good either
Thanks. I’ll sit both.
No problem
Comfortable with Hunter Brown @ Det and/or Jose Suarez @ Cle?
Any point in holding LouBob the next 3 weeks?
Forget LouBob….I’d start Brown and Suarez…Comfortable? Wouldn’t go that far
Best answer of the day! Trying to recover from Bassitt’s ratio destruction last night. Thank you!
No problem
Hey Grey,
Would you stream any of the following? 12-team H2H with QS. Thanks in advance!
Corbin vs. Bal
Greinke @ Min
Josiah Gray vs. Mia
Miley vs. Col
Miley and Gray
Ina vacuum – Robert, Jazz, Cease, or Strider for a final keeper spot, H2H?
Tricky group to nail down.
Thanks!
Who are you other keepers?
Wander, Mookie, Tucker, Julio, Yordan
Cease
Hey Grey,
12-team H2H with QS. Would you drop William Contreras for Eric Haase?
Thanks
Yes
I know yesterday I said that starting pitchers vs Colorado was a good thing. But I don’t trust Kopech at all today. Do you?
Hits, walks and HR allowed are disastrous and I don’t know what to think.
I don’t trust Kopech
Mets might start Trevor Williams tomorrow vs Cubs instead of Peterson (+25.7 on Streamonator). Would you start Williams if Mets make the change? I asked Rudy for Streamonator impact but looking for your view as well. Thanks!
I wouldn’t start Williams
Thanks!
No problem
Semi finals H2H pts
Have to play 1 of the following, how do you rank them:
Roansy @ Cin
Taillon @ Mil
German @ Mil
scores +IP, +Ks, -Hits, -BBs, -HR let up
You did
Razz,
Would you start Merrill Kelly tonight against the Dodgers?
3 starts vs Dodger lasting 13 innings and giving up 14 runs and lost all 3. Granted those came in April and end of May but I am terrified to start him in championship week.
H2H 7 category pitching and I likely will not take Wins or K’s so I feel I need to try and win Losses, era and whip.
Thanks for your help
I wouldn’t
thank you
No problem
Would you stream Roansy or Quantrill tomorrow?
Also, are G Lux and 3 Mancini drops at this point?
Who are they facing? You can drop those bats
Roansy vs Cinci. Cal Q vs Angels.
Both home? I’d start both, Roansy 1st
Roansy is in Cinci. Cal is at home.
Cal is better then
Which two would you start in my two RP spots for the week? The number at the end is the projected points based on Streamonator.
Kopech (COL, @DET) – 33.7 points
Falter (@MIA vs Alcantara, @ATL) – 21.4 points
Helsley (2 games vs MIL, 5 games vs CIN) – 20.8 points
Jorge Lopez (3 games vs KC, 4 games @CLE) – 16.8 points
Hader (2 games @SEA, 4 games @ARI) – 17.9 points
Not sure why it’s projecting Gallegos to get more saves and points than Helsley.
The safe play is with Helsley and Lopez, but it comes down to save opportunities. The risk/reward play is with Kopech and Falter. The question is, how many innings will they pitch in each outing. We get 10 points for a win, but if you don’t pitch 5 innings, that 10 is irrelevant.
If I break things down to points per appearance and then average number of appearances per week I get the following projected points per week, but that doesn’t take into account this week’s opponents, etc.
Kopech: 10.65 points
Falter: about 14 points
Helsley: 18.57
Lopez: 15.39
Kopech, Helsley
Right on dude!
Morning Grey!
Would you start the following (10tm Roto,no keepers), Yes/No?
1) 9/14 Lodolo vs. PIT (37.5)
2) 9/14 Gibson @ MIA (-3.8) (not sure if I trust him, MIA rocked him at home)
3) 9/17 Rogers @ WSH (-0.8)
4) 9/19 EdCab vs CHC (23.2)
5) 9/19 Gilbert @LAA (8.4)
BONUS Question: No confias Singer @ BOS (-10.2) right?
Thanks!
All of them except Singer
Thanks.. I wasnt expecting that. hahaha.
ok, i dont have room for both Lodolo and Gibson tomorrow.
Who do you like better? (QS,W,PTW low ERA) MUST get a QS? (i need ’em)
Thanks again.
Lodolo
Bench bat
Aquino or Friedl?
Aquino
Start Cessa vs PIT today and/or Freeland @ CHW tomorrow or pass?
Cessa
Drop Scheiber for Cessa or hold? Looking for ERA, WHIP, QS, K/9 from Cessa or Freeland.
I have four guys going today (SPrings, Ryan, Monty, Kershaw) all going today. WIre is thin and Cessa is one of the “better” starts left..ugh.
I guess if you need the start
hey Grey
Have to drop 1
Would you drop Clevinger or Braxton Garrett
Garrett
12 team 5×5, QS and OPS instead of the usual. Keep 5:
$47 Judge
$20 Altuve
$13 Witt Jr
$11 Varsho
$6 Jake McCarthy
$15 Kershaw
$14 Valdez
$13 Ray
$9 Bednar
$6 Helsley
$4 Grayson Rodriguez
Right now I have Witt and Valdez as my “for sure” options but everyone else after that I am just at a loss. They all seem like decent options.
Judge, Witt, Framber, Altuve, Ray…not super close
okay thanks. I was certainly leaning Judge and Ray. Was really tossing Altuve vs GRod around in my head as my league is weird and loves it some prospects. We have an NA slot so I could stash him and he would only be an $8 keep for the 2024 season, which is enticing.
Meh, just redraft Grayson if you want him
Need to pick SPs for the week today. After Manoah and Lodolo, have a bunch of question marks…
Peterson – Mets starter on 9/14 vCHC still TBD, but hard to imagine it is anyone but him. Second start possible on 9/19 @MIL, but Scherzer may be back for that.
2-start SonnyG – vKC (16.3) and @CLE (-6.0)
Musgrove @AZ (14.5)
Quintana vCIN (12.4)
EdRod vCHW (2.6)
Marquez @CHC (1.2)
Minor @STL (-6.7)
Singer @BOS (-10.2)
McCLanahan @TOR (?)
1) Can you rank the above guys? I may use 4, 5 or six of them, so the more you can rank, the better (for me, of course).
2) Start or sit in a 12 teamer?
3) Alternatives is crappy closer (LeClerc, Herget and Schreiber). Thoughts on using them ahead of my mediocre starters?
Thanks again.
Someone above said the Mets are going with Williams instead of Peterson, I don’t know tbh
Sonny G, Quintana, Shane, EdRod, German M., I wouldn’t start Singer, Minor, EdRod, or Marquez if I could avoid it
Leclerc and Schreiber over EdRod and German
Thanks. I note you did not mention Musgrove at all (either in the ranking of my guys or in the don’t start list). Oversight or purposeful?
Only thing that surprised me about your response was German M. He has been good on the road all year and the Cubs stink. Why no faith?
Sorry, Gray, Musgrove, Quintana….Wrigley can easily be one of the worst parks to pitch in on any given day
Also, just saw that Stroman is available. vCOL (14.2). Where does he fit in you ranking of my SPs?
Just before EdRod
I drafted Bo in auction as my most expensive player, finished the regular season in 1st and now I’m in the championship game. 12 team H2H.
Nice!
Grey, that is the best headline of the season….joe hazelwood could not have done better if he turned that task over to his unqualified first mate after a bottle of scotch ……..and i still have Bo hoping a couple more good weeks from him will win a title.
Same here on Bo, he owes us, big time. lol
Go Bo!
Let’s go Bo! Rudy does the titles about 98% of the time, including this one
Ozzie to cornboy, you covered all the bases. The kids were Ricky and David.
T. Rogers for 2023? Top 50 pitcher again for drafting?
Haha, yup…You old! Rogers will be a top 50 SP, yes
Grey, good call on starting Cobb last night. Very happy with the results. That being said, what do you recommend for his matchup home vs LAD? Start or sit?
If you had to start one SS tonight between Gunnar and Wander, who are you choosing? I was leaning Franco because of the double header vs TOR but I just realized Manoah is pitching game 1 so I’ll let you decide for me.
Do you recommend starting Kremer tonight @ WAS? I should never trust ESPN matchup ratings—they generally never look pretty for steaming pitchers.
Lastly, let’s talk briefly about LouBob. What a disappointing season. Dude is constantly hurt. Is he still a solid keeper or would you pass the pain of owning him to another poor slob manager? I have the option of keeping Goldy over him. Is that a good call or no? Thanks bro!
I would start Cobb
Gunnar
I’m starting Kremer
I’d keep Goldy, don’t think it’s close
Hi Grey. Which one of these pitchers You Will Start or sit today: Ryan, Brown, Kremer, Kopech?
I’m personally starting Kremer, don’t know anyone else’s matchups
Ryan vs KC
Kremer @Was
Brown @Det
Kopech vs Col
Kremer, Ryan, Brown
Here are the first round picks (from the last 16 RCL drafts) and where they are currently placed on the Player Rater.
3 Trea Turner
4 Freddie Freeman
5 Mookie Betts
6 Jose Ramirez
8 Shohei Ohtani *48 Pitch
16 Kyle Tucker
17 Bo Bichette
23 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
36 Rafael Devers
39 Mike Trout
42 Corbin Burnes
46 Gerrit Cole
52 Matt Olson
76 Juan Soto
80 Ronald Acuna Jr.
88 Bryce Harper
106 Luis Robert
770 Walker Buehler
847 Ozzie Albies
Nice! Man Juan Soto hurts to see there…Didn’t get one month of him being extraordinary
acuna didnt miss much time and still only ranked 80 is interesting, he will be overrated for next year probably as a 1st rounder.
The Top 20 on the Player Rater and their ADP in the last week of RCL drafts:
1 Aaron Judge >> 24.94
2 Paul Goldschmidt >> 40.63
3 Trea Turner >> 2
4 Freddie Freeman >> 14.44
5 Mookie Betts >> 16.19
6 Jose Ramirez >> 4.56
7 Manny Machado >> 21.5
8 Shohei Ohtani >> 4.25
9 Austin Riley >> 42.31
10 Pete Alonso >> 31.75
11 Francisco Lindor >> 45.69
12 Dansby Swanson >> 125.5
13 Justin Verlander >> 96.69
14 Julio Rodriguez >> 119.19
15 Adolis Garcia >> 158.69
16 Kyle Tucker >> 11.13
17 Bo Bichette >> 3.81
18 Yordan Alvarez >> 20.56
19 Nolan Arenado >> 67.13
20 Marcus Semien >> 32.5
Bichette and Semien slide in, dropping Vladdy (23) and McClanahan (25) out of the top 20.
Bichette! Hopefully he can hold the top 20 for 3 more weeks…Crazy to see Semien there, member when he seemed like a bust?
Bo is now up to 17 on the Player Rater!
Trout jumped 30 spots this week to reach the top 40!
Valdez and Burnes moved up in tandem from 52 and 53 last week to 41 and 42 this week.
Gonsolin is still top 30 but will obviously continue to fall.
Michael Harris (50) has moved ahead of Brandon Drury (51) as the top undrafted player. Christian Walker is next at 54.
Luis Robert and Byron Buxton fell out of the top 100.
LouBob hurts, Buxton feels like an I told ya so (not you ya, but general you)…Trout makes it seem possible that he could be top 20 again next year even though that seemed foregone not happening about a month ago
across the minors and majors last year strider 95 IP. so far this year 125. u really think they should shut him down?
Yes
Braves have said there is no innings cap for Strider. Is there any franchise better for fantasy baseball!
Yeah, just don’t get in on their starters a year too late
