I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the latest in rookie nookie will be making his debut tonight. Everyone wants to hook up with Noah Syndergaard, myself included. The kid’s been just obliterating the PCL to the tune of a 1.82 ERA, 0.944 WHIP and K-rate of 10.3. Those numbers alone are impressive, then you factor in how hitter friendly the PCL can be and they become knock your socks off numbers. Even last year when his PCL numbers weren’t wonderful, Noah was still mowing them down at around a 10 K/9 pace, so the strikeout potential is real. Syndergaard cracks the top 10 in just about everyone’s top 10 prospects lists, including our very own Prospect Mike who ranked him as high as 3rd. Noah gets the call against the Cubs who just so happen to lead the majors in strikeouts right now. At $7,200, Syndergaard provides terrific upside with the potential for plenty of high scoring Ks. Of course, rookie nookie can always be dangerous. I’m guessing the buzz around the kid will cause his ownership percentage to be on the high side. If you have a feeling that 30% or so of the field will be waking up in a bathtub full of ice with no kidneys, then by all means, employ the fade. As someone who missed out on him in all but one of his yearly leagues, I’ll happily insert him some lineups just to ride the wave a bit. The beauty of DFS is you don’t need to be first to the waiver wire, you just have to work in the salary. I’ll be swiping right and enjoying my rookie nookie hook-up tonight, how about you?
