The infidels are coming. They are storming the stronghold and sieging the castle. Cover your children’s eyes and lock up your grandmas. As a general rule, I’m not drafting a middle “infidel” early unless it comes at great value or I’m tinkering with the zig strategy. Scarcity has over taken too many owners who pass up great numbers to fill a positional need and have been blinded by the fact that numbers are numbers. As I’m writing this, I’m looking at all the great depth for MI and I wonder why the heck should I even be writing this. It’s pretty obvious that there is great upside late by reading Grey’s coverage of second base. Add to that some of the bounce back golden oldies, and you got generations at the keystone. Speaking of golden oldies, did you all catch the ridiculously redumbasshatily things Brandon Phillips had to say the other day?
This list will be of players drafted from the 20th round on or at pick 229 on, if you prefer it that way. I’m using ESPN ADP which by the way, gets lazy and labels everyone after 260 at 260. Go figure. In an RCL, 300 players are drafted, so depending on strategy, you can use these as either late grabs or if you are in deeper leagues they are must owns.
Micah Johnson, 2B – Locked in a position battle with Carlos Sanchez and apparently Gordon Boredum Beckham, Johnson is coming into the crosshairs of others fantasy baseballers. As of now, he is playing the best of the three and Ventura has said he’s going to let the 2nd base battle play out. Prospect writer and Mike Schmidt look-a-like Mike has him as the number 3 prospect in the White Sox system and says his speed grades out at an 80. The hamstring injuries last year hurt his numbers after swiping 84 across 3 levels. Zips has him projected with 31SB’s if he lands the job and I can get on board with that. Before moving up to AAA last year he had over 800 AB’s with a walk rate above 10% (woo-hoo) then followed that with a 5.3% over 302 AB’s (boo-hoo). That’s going to be important to get those stolen base numbers up where we want them. Either way he has speed, you can get him late and if he loses the job or gets stuck in a platoon then he becomes the Jarrod Dyson of the middle infield.
Brad Miller, SS – Wait! What? Yup, I went to Grey’s 2014 cupboard of love and promise and dusted off an old copy of this sleeper post. I’m assuming that link will get edited out if Grey has anything to do with it. With the fantasy master lothario already going over every other good late rounder at the shortstop slot I figured since we are taking upside flyers we might as well talk about a post hype sleeper. Regardless of how bad his average was last year he still showed some pop by belting 10 home runs (tied for 11th most among shortstops w/300 AB’s) and had an .144 ISO, which was the 8th highest among shortstops with at least 400 AB’s. His first half of 2014 was a weird one where he hit 8 of homers and had a triple slash line of .204/.273/.330. Then, in a limited role, showed some life in the 2nd half when he put up a .268/.330/.464. To build on the case of him adjusting his game in the 2nd half was the dramatic changes in his batted ball profile when he cut his FB% by a little under 8% and raised his LD% by a little over 9%. Why does all this matter FOH? Well my friends over the net, it means that he stopped pressing and trying to club everything over the wall and corrected the errors in his approach. Or at least, thats how I’m seeing it. After his competition, Chris Taylor, broke his hand, Miller is now in sole possession of the shortstop role in Seattle. Most likely he’ll bat 9th, which in AL can be a good thing and he has been having a good spring! Hey wait, you can’t say that? Oil well, I just did and IDGAF. He is working his tail off trying to make sure Taylor is stuck on the bench when he returns. He has been showing a good eye at the dish where he has a 6/5 K/BB. If you are going FrankenInfidel then go give Miller a whirl. Deeper leagues better bookmark this page and RCL battycallers better not forget the post hype lives on in the land of razz and funny.
Luis Valbuena, 2B, 3B – I already covered him in the catchers and corners post in case you missed it. He’s worth the flyer, trust me. So go ahead and pour yourself a nice glass of Angel’s Envy and toast Wake Up who added nicely to the discussion in the comments the other day.
Jonathan Schoop, 2B – He was a December sleeper call by Grey so I don’t need to do all the statty stat dance here. Click the link and read the good word. What I’ll remind you of is he has power, has a job, has power, will go thru slumps, has power, can get crazy hot, has power, can dance like a robot.
Devon Travis, 2B – This is my deep league flyer for the middle infidel and another player of opportunity. With the offensively blah Maicer Izturis going down with a groin strain it opens the door for the highly rated prospect acquired in the Anthony Gose to Detroit deal. Mike went over him in the Blue Jays Minor League preview and points out how he does a little bit of everything but nothing that jumps off the page. Draft with caution and watch the Toronto situation.
FrankenInfidel – For those that read the Catchers and Corners post, you know what I’m talking about. Take the same idea for catchers and apply it to your middle infidel spot until you either come up with a gem or some careless owner drops a roster worthy player. It always seems to happen in the MI spot…trust me I know what I’m doing. This strategy is especially good in RCL’s and daily moves 12 and 10 team leagues. Deeper leagues can be a little tougher to do this. Don’t worry my over the net friends, Grey will always let you know who is hot, Hitter-Tron is your best friend, and I write Creeper of the Week where I always trying to stay up on the less desirable players that might be able to help you out for the week. One week you might be trotting out the Donkfidel Jonathan Schoop or Francisco Lindor’s placeholder Jose Ramirez for a little SAGNOF. It’s all stats combined at the position when the season is over.
If you need an over the net friend you can always follow J-FOH on Twitter.
Just picked Arod off the wire. Not really sure how i feel about this move. Lot’s of sleepers with upside i could go with. Cron, Pluffe, Valbuena. Could you rank those 4? Thanks!
@Regan: A Rod and Cron are a push depending how your league rolls with transactions. I like Plouffe slightly over Valbuena unless you can play Valbuena at MI
@J-FOH: It’s Yahoo so Valbuena has 2nd eligibility. Once i put McGee on DL spot i’ll pick him up.
Holding onto YasMan right now but i’m itching to ditch him for Cron or Pluffe. Where do you stand on the YasMan shituation.
@Regan: I didn’t draft him anywhere for the fear that his defense would hurt him
Good read. I love Angle Envy on ice. Just a sipper though. HA! I have the 8th pick in an upcoming 10 team draft, so the 8th and 13th picks. My next pick is 28th after the first two. If the draft plays out normally why can’t a guy take two players I want without worrying about value. What I’m trying to say some guys won’t make it back to 28. Like Desmond, Donaldson, Scherzer, Altuve ect.
I’m trying to spread out some of my players from other teams I have so if one guy gets hurt it doesn’t burn me on all teams. I realize I shouldn’t draft a guy with a 25ADP at 13 because he may be available at 28 but a guy with 20 or below, why not? Thanks for any feedback.
@Fastpitch: I always try to read the room. I take best available stats regardless of position. I agree to spread your risk among different teams. If you have played with this group before then you should have an idea of what they like to do. I like my envy with one cube
Thanks J-FOH. Always appreciate the middle infidel advice, especially given my 2B has been comprised in one league of Profar and Micah Johnson (ouch) in one league.
Quick question for you (and others) about dynasty salary-cap leagues. In a league with $1000 salary cap and a rookie contract of (3 years @ $10+3 years of arbitration) that is activated the year you call him up (pre-September 1st), how do you decide whether to wait until the next year (post-rookie) to take full advantage of the rookie contract?
I have Bryant, Lindor (blocked by Desmond/Reyes), Syndergaard in my minors who should be up relatively soon. My team, unfortunately, is not ready to compete until next year when all my bad contracts come off the books, and Urias+Stroman+Giolito+Renfroe+K. Zimmer+others join (after my team blew up first year, I made some shrewd moves and now have a stacked minor league system including Moncada, Frazier, Devers, etc).
My dilemma is whether to call up Bryant/Syndergaard/Lindor now and take their stats, ultimately finishing 5th or 6th, or wait until next season and get them “for an extra year”, as it were. Appreciate the help!
@P-Dizzle: In dynasty its cool to mail it in. I’d hold them out to maximize the long term if you have no chance of being competitive this year
@J-FOH:
What if calling them up now would give me 3 extra picks in an April “filler” draft (could grab Honeywell, Wall, Mondesi, for example)? Currently at 19/20 minor leaguers. Does the ability to get 3 more minor leaguers in my system before everybody else (average 8/20) sucks them up worth burning their year of service?
Thanks, appreciate your help man.
@P-Dizzle: I’ll be honest you are getting into Mike territory here. Im an uber novice at Dynasty. I will summon him to come ni and throw in his two cents. I would hate to dole out bad advice and would prefer to defer to our resident expert on this,
@J-FOH:
@Mike:
Thanks to the two of you for your advice. I appreciate your calling in Mike, J-FOH, and your coming upon J_FOH’s call, Mike.
@P-Dizzle: anytime, I also do music for dates and what colors will look best on you
no problem
I’d wait to start their clocks next year if you can’t win now. There will always be a new crop of specs to take in those types of filler drafts…so don’t sweat that.
@Mike: Thanks Mike, I was leaning that way too but didn’t want to do this reader a disservice by not consulting with our resident expert…I’m a mother f***ing team player yo’s!
haha no problem
@Mike: I think meeting Tristan changed me
haha
A late round flyer post is probably the right place to see what people think of my 20-team draft I completed today (although I could’ve done with seeing this postbefore the draft, but oh well). My middle infield is pretty poor, and I’m a bit light on speed I think, but I’d be interested in other takes on it. Too much pitching?
Standard 5×5 roto scoring.
C – Robinson Chirinos
1B – Carlos Santana
2B – Jedd Gyorko
3B – Josh Harrison
SS – Xander Bogaerts
CI – CJ Cron
MI – Jordy Mercer
OF – Yasiel Puig, Bryce Harper, Starling Marte, Khris Davis
Util – Travis Snider
Bench – James Loney, Sam Fuld
SP – Tyson Ross, Garrett Richards, Matt Shoemaker, Shelby Miller, Carlos Martinez
RP – Kenley Jansen, Brad Boxberger
P – Jonathan Broxton, Kendall Graveman
Bench – Miguel Gonzalez, Andrew Heaney, Jimmy Nelson, Hector Santiago, Brandon Beachy, Ernesto Frieri, Rex Brothers
@Jesmond Dennings: not at all, looks like a solid team. I agree you are a little light on speed need to maximize Fuld’s PT and light a prayer candle for Harrison
B-Rad is a legend.
@Tehol Beddict: dont jinx him
No love for Freddy Galvis? Starting job, .259 OBP, solidified in the 8 hole…at Razzball we try to build the worst team right? Oh dear Harry, I’m gonna be sick, somewhere Dickie Thon just puked through his glorious mustache.
@de nachos: Galvis Shmalvis. The Thon Thong?
Not getting an out is soooo overrated. BP. The Cubs next GM!!
@Baezaworldseries: BP? Back Page?
@J-FOH: Phillips. Dang it!! I’m pretty sure you’re takin the piss. But I couldn’t stop myself from answering. Being OCD and all.
@Baezaworldseries: Which one were you answering, I have no problem with that as long as its a good answer…or a funny one
How do you feel about the super cheap A’s double play combo of Senien & Lawrie?
Either seems like they could work out as a decent MI & you can have either/both with the last 2 picks.
Thoughts?
@Lucky Dog: I own Lawrie in one league and got him super cheap. A post post pot hype sleeper. If Semien can bat 9th he could end up being a decent play but I need to see that K rate drop. I would prefer Flores late over him
Loving Jace Peterson now, no reason the Braves don’t play him, has a 50+ steal season in the minors
@Grey: I’m reading that it seems more likely that he will play and get at least 80% of the AB’s in what Fredi is calling his soft platoon. I’m just worried he bats 8th….yuck. Which BTW is the same place Joc Pederson is suppose to bat…double yuck.
Who’s batting 2nd for the Braves? Zoilo Almonte? Freeman? Bethancourt? It’s gotta be Peterson, they have no one else
@Grey: Markakis?
Prolly goes to one when he returns and EY goes to the bottom or into a platoon…
@Grey: Fredi needs to drop dead cause he kills all fantasy logic. I wonder if he and Walt went to the same managerial night school
Prolly
@Grey:
Now that it sounds like Ahmed is going to be the starting SS for the DBacks, who do you prefer between Ahmed & Peterson?
@Lucky Dog: Peterson
@Grey: oh and no comment on Brad Miller appearance?
Miller’s fine as a flyer, there was a reason I liked him last year, just didn’t work out
@Grey: At a certain point I took him on one team. I cant have all my eggs in the Flores or Owings basket. FrankenInfidel!
Hopefulyl Owings even has a job
@Grey: I know I read that, makes Flores and Miller a little tastier to me
I do like me some Flores, wish he wasn’t in Metco
@Grey: Why can’t he be included in a trade for Tulo
@Grey:
Just read the Bravos are likely to name him the starting 2B.
Hopefully they do this after the 1st run of waivers tomorrow night, but my luck is uaully that they’ll tab him tomorrow and every single fantasy site will story on him and why everyone needs to pick him up. :facepalm:
Question: where do you see him hitting in that lineup assuming he’s the opening day 2B?
@Lucky Dog: I think he bats 7th to begin the year
@J-FOH:
Thanks – hard to swipe 50 batting in the 7-hole. Sigh
@Lucky Dog: Its a sad emoticon situation
Just finished a draft in a 16 team, deep bench league and I ended up sacrificing the SS spot because of drafting position and overall need. I ended up with Jose Ramirez and Jordy Mercer as my only two SS elig guys. One guy has to start for me. Who are you highest on? (at least until Francisco Lindor arrives)
@Grindrguy: about the same for both, Mercer for power and Ramirez for speed. Should be a decent platoon for you. Was Miller and Flores taken? What about Pederson?
@J-FOH: Pederson and Miller, yes, Flores no. The league is a standard 10 catagory roto, with the only exception being saves/holds as opposed to just saves. I ended up sacrificing some power in order to be better in the speed/runs acatgories,that’s why I’m kind of leaning towards Ramirez as my starter. I’m not sure the power advantage with Mercer is going to make that much difference in the overall.
Thanks for the help!
Yo J! Nice writeup!
Have a sick IF in a 12 team 6X6 H2H. Got Rendon, Dee, Xander, Starlin and Danny Santana and Micah in an NA slot. However my OF is weak AF! Ozuna, K. Davis, Myers and Dom Brown.
Was offered 2 deals.
Rendon for Bryce str8 up.
Or Starlin and K.Davis for Bryce and Britton.
Should I run that ish or hold? Thanks!
@jayrock: what are the 6th stats?
@J-FOH: XBH and K/9.
@jayrock: @jayrock: Id hold and try to flip Xander for a tier 3 outfielder.
Is Scooter Gennett deep enough for this convo?
Looks like a ball player to me for what thats worth. Nice value if leads off
@jal179: he didnt qualify for the ADP cutoff as he has been moving up draft boards. A great player I wsa bumme I couldn’t write about here, he still cant hit lefties but he hasn’t really been given too many opps to either.
HAHA…
Nice callback!
It was a great call by you…value vs ADP, I still have to go with Eagle Rare though…
@Wake Up: I’ll have to try that. I’m not as well versed in whiskey but always like something good…and affordable
Oh, and I prefer it with seven drops of 65 degree water…preferably poured by a house-monkey-butler…(preferably a proboscis)
@Wake Up: California law prohibits the monkeys, have you ever tried to get a cat to be your cocktail waitress? Don’t unless you like hairy drinks and evil looks when you don’t tip 30%
Who would you rather in a keeper league between Bogaerts, Alex Wood, or Michael Wacha?
@Bobby: Bogey
Betances losing the closer job to Miller?
@jal179: You should def grab Miller if for some reason he is available…
@jal179: Its TBD in my opinion. I think they both get 15+ saves this year. Its a hunch, and no not the back kind
How awful is a MI of Utley Lowrie and alcantara in a 15 team mixed? Rest of my offense is stacked.
@Zeus: I like it. Hitter tron would be a great tool for you in making your daily calls.
@J-FOH: it’s weekly brother
@Zeus: If its weekly then Alcantara may not be a good fit, with that being said I wouldnt drop him just yet
Nice J-Foh I’m a Miller fan myself.
I just traded Seager for Lester who won in your mind? I think it’s pretty even. Without giving both our roster I can tell you he was a touch light on pitching and I was a touch light on power.
Thanks
@Chris: Looks pretty fair. I prefer Lester in my ranks.
Thanks, My pitching was crazy for a 14 team league. It’s a 5×5 roto What do you think. I thought I did ok again like it better with seager.
Strasburg 30
Lester 20 Traded
Wood 10
Ross 15
Fister 10
Weaver 5
Salazar 6 AAA I think he’ll be back
KRod-5
Cishek 9
Boxberger res
This is my offense I think I did fine but I like it a lot better with Seager.
C-Norris
1st Pujols
2nd Panik
SS-Escobar
3rd Seager
CI-Posey
MI-Peralta
DH-Pedro
DH-Aoki
OF-Trumbo-Marte-Melky-Revere-Pollock
Thanks
@Chris: still solid your OF is really good. I think you’ll do well. On pitching side I think Lester was better investment. I’m not a huge fan of weaver or ross
Thanks
@Chris: No prob
Yo Foh would u trade Fiers to get Boxberger?
@nick the dick: depends. What’s the scenario?
@J-FOH: eh just that hometown league with the rcl setup plus some spots. Was the worry about Fiers shoulder, which I guess is fine, and wanted to see if a solid MR was enough to boot him. I know you value good MRs in that starts limit format. My pitching isnt all that deep but im gonna stream crazy. Will Fiers rawr rawr like a dungeon dragon?
@nick the dick: Bust a nut inside your eye, to show you where I come from…oh sorry I thought we were posting our favorite lyric from that song….Honestly I would take the gamble if you want to be a heavy streamer. I like Boxy a lot and would draft him before Fiers with that strategy
@J-FOH: Well ive been known to do the impossible like Broadway Joe so…yeah i was thinking the same way, i knew youd be the voice of reason. With my starters not all that strong to begin with, Boxys 100 ks, good ratios and some saves was really appealing to me. Thanks my man
@nick the dick: this is what I do
@J-FOH: You do it well like you represent Queens and she was raised out in Brooklyn….Creepers, RCL updates and this top weekly 100? Show em how to do this son!..they letting you on that podcast this week?
@nick the dick: I’m also the bullpen arm for DFS. Nah not this week. I didn’t even try. Super busy. I’ll try at some point.
@J-FOH: Word, nice. Good luck with the workload, youre the right man for the job
@nick the dick: we’ll see, its a lot to do
Jonathan Schoop…..Really??…..Grey has been praising him for years…..Be Original!!!!!!!!
@Curt C.: Thanks for being such a long time reader
Odor
Jerko
Scooter
Are going in the 210-230 range
Scooter wasn’t drafted in 2 of my 12ers
@Bye Felicia: Odor, Scooter then Gyorko
Will Zach McAlllister’s uptick in velocity and opportunity lead to breakout?
@tvators1: It’s not a crazy notion, He needs to get more usage out of his secondary pitches. Cleveland has done well in developing pitchers so its not completely out of the realm of possibilities. If you want to take a flayer in a DEEP league or add him to your watch list
I F’d up everyone in the RCL league dis year. Oh wait that was a mock Dream, damn it. Probally DMT induced. Anyways my question anyone feel free to amswer.. After the first Five or Six Hitters in the first round would it be best to draft guys with lower floors that you know won’t Tank that are consistent Cano, AdamJones, ect or go after the guys like like The Encarnacion, Bautista, Puig’s. Last year I went with the steady guys and got burnt. At times I’m to conservative. Not like John Boner conservative, but I , well like a old school fax machine you get my message
@Dnut eastwood: don’t mean to ramble but this pitching invasion or lack of PEDs it’s more important then in years passed to avoid an early round bust or one of the high upside injury prone players. Maybe I should just let the ball bounce where it may. Then Grey steps in “it’s just another clip into my A.K.A” there is so many unproven or sizzle then fizzle or vice versa guys near the top. Harper, Rendon, Areanado, Puig,Donaldson sure they have all produced but all Jane been sporadic and or injured. Of those five where do rank them
@Dnut eastwood: Donaldson, Puig, Rendon, Arenado, Harper
@Dnut eastwood: I like EE a lot this year. in the first round
@J-FOH: every time you guys reply to my post the theme song to cheers starts blaring in my ear. You guys are the best ever. And for He’s a jolly good fellow. God damn you guys are good
@Dnut eastwood: Thanks for that. We’re always here to help you win.
Micah had been on my radar was picked up earlier today. My problem has been flexibility this preseason, and the lack of it. A few wild drops by a couple of managers fortified my team nicely, but made it virtually impossible to grab hotties off the wire.
That said, a manager put Rizzo on the block tonight for good starting pitching. I don’t necessarily need Rizzo, but awfully tempting IF I can get him without giving up Price. I offered Samardjzilla and Pineda for Rizzo (I know, not enough), he countered with Rizzo/Perkins (I have a hole at RP, but don’t feel any urgency to fill it) for Price/Ross. I think most folks would jump at it since Rizzo is a 1st rounder, though not sure how much I believe in it. I countered again with Samardjzilla/Ross for Rizzo. That’s like 400 K’s right there. I guess I’m not in love with Rizzo enough to care if accepts or not, but love the idea of getting an empty spot again so I can play the wire.
I might be weird, I dunno.
@SallyCips: Its a ll about roster construction after you drafted. Does it make sense for you? Who do you have at first/CI? who is the other guy trotting out there to replace Rizzo if he doesnt trade for a 1st baseman? In situations like this I have questions
@J-FOH: For me, I won’t mind the extra power lift, but I have my limit, and that’s probably it giving up my 2-3 s SPs. He’s desperate for SP. Losing Rizzo for him does hurt in the power department, but not 1b depth as he’ll still have 3. My SP’s after would be Price, Fiers, Pineda, Shoemaker, so still pretty good and there’s a couple of pitchers of interest on the wire that I could replace with.
@SallyCips: If you can get him without including Price, that would be ideal
Hello fellow Fantasy Baseballers,
Today I have my draft of my 12 team 5×5 keeper league, but unfortunately I have to work. I wonder if there is anybody of the Razballers who would like to do my draft.I have the 7nd pick in the 8 round. My keepers are Kimbrell, Chapman, Jupton, Cutch, Fielder, Cespedes and Altuve. It is an Yahoo league and the draft is at 1:00pm PDT.
If you can use the Razzball rankings and strategy I will be gratefull.
@J-FOH: @Bas: That would be cool if someone can help you out
Hey man!
Had my draft a couple nights ago it’s a 8 team ESPN h2h pts & weekly roster lock league.

– Travis d’arnaud, mike zunino, wilson Ramos.
Next for 2b I waited longer than would have liked & got odor & Baez (who has eligibility at SS & 2b) just incase odor or Baez come out of the gate flat (or if Baez starts the season in the minors here are 2b options that are available:
– neil Walker, scooter gennet, arismendy alacantra, Luis valbuena(eligibe at 2b & 3b), marcus semien (eligible at 3b & 2b), howie Kendrick, Brett lawrie(eligible at 3b & 2b), Jedd gyorko & brandon Phillips too.
Here’s the rest of my team: (leaving out c & 2b just mentioned above)
1b- Napoli

SS- hanley ramirez (he’s only eligible at SS now)
IF- danny santana (eligible at SS & OF)
OF- Puig
OF- bryce Harper
OF- trumbo (eligible at 1b & OF)

Thanks man!
@Josh: Id take Walker over Baez right now and hold on the pitching side
Good calls, Mr. FOH! I both Miller and Valbuena in a 14-team league. Also, thanks to both you and Wake for the heads up on the rye. I think I’m going to need a bottle or six for this season.
@Happy Vegans: one bottle at a time my vegan friend but why GF?
@J-FOH: no special reason… if you’re going to have a vegan pizza, you might as go all the way.
While this only my opinion, I feel better when I lay off the gluten. It’s not an instantaneous feeling either… you have to work all the crap out of your system. It takes time, but I feel that it’s worth it. I just feel better when I eat like that. That’s all.
@Happy Vegans: oh so its all in your head
@J-FOH: perception is reality or… reality is perception.
@Happy Vegans: fads are bad for the money bag?
@J-FOH: crossing the chasm, my friend… crossing the chasm.
@Happy Vegans: is that like crossing streams?
how would you rank Gennett, Semien, J. Ramirez, Travis, A. Cabrera? and do any of them really stand out?
@McNulty: Gennett, Travis (if he keeps the job), Asdrubal, Ramirez, Semien
Replace Salazar with Peavy, E. Santana, Peralta, Burnett, Hahn or Paxton?
@Buge Hoobs: or Mujica as I drafted Uehara as well?
@Buge Hoobs: Mujica for now
About Peterson. I know Peraza looked awful during ST. Any clue what could happen if he’s playing solid and Peraza makes his way to ATL? He has that 3B eligibility. Does that mean he’s versatile enough to play elsewhere? Not that it’d be costing me anything to drop him at that point.
I’m also curious about Graveman. Is the lack of K potential so bad that I should still ignore him, even if he continues pitching this well?
@Monken Drunkey: could be hughesish. If he’s solid I don’t see them bumping him
