Gerrit Cole Fantasy Outlook For 2020
| Grey Albright Player Summary |
|---|
| If you’ve been following my rankings for a minute, and not an actual minute, but an Urban Dictionary minute which is actually a long time, you know I’d never draft a starter in the top 20. So, yes, I’ve chosen to only rank one starter in the top 20. If you want to bemoan my low ranking of one starter, then bemoan away. Just remember, a bemoaner sounds a bit to me like, 'U be a boner.' Here’s what I’ve said previously about ranking one starter in the top 20, 'Before you say, ‘Grey, you’re handsome AF, and super smart. You rub-a-dub places I thought only ladies could rub and/or dub. Yet, you say you’d never draft a starter in the top 20, but you’ve ranked Gerrit Cole in the top 20. Should I not draft Cole if he’s available? Thank you for your time, you are a real pleasure.’ This always drives me crazy. Not the compliments, those are nice. You ask if you should draft [fill-in player name] if he’s available, because I have him ranked around where he’s going. If you’re following my rankings, Story, Tatis, Jo-Ram, Alonso, and more are ranked higher than their ADP and where others are ranking them [for the most part/ there’s exceptions, obviously]. So how on earth did you get to pick 17, and have no one else available to you but Cole? Are you in a league with sixteen me’s? Otherwise, there’s guys to draft I like more than Cole available. A companion piece to this question is the guy [and, let’s be honest, it’s always a guy], who says, ‘Only players available were Cole and Alonso and I didn’t want to draft Alonso, so I went with Cole.’ So, you don’t want to listen to me on who to draft in regards to Alonso, but you want me to say it’s okay to draft a guy I’ve ranked later who I’ve said not to draft? Okay…*places traffic cone on head, kneels down in driver’s ed course, gets slammed by pimple-faced teenager’s Sebring* So, why even rank Cole 17th overall if I wouldn’t draft him here? I gotta rank him somewhere! What, I’m gonna rank him 450th overall next to Travis Jankowski?' And that’s me quoting me! I changed some names and numbers from last year to this year, but that’s still completely applicable, so please appliqué! As for Cole, here’s what I said this offseason, 'I’m here in sunny downtown San Diego at the Winter Meetings and just ran into Matt Kemp. How ya doing, Matt? 'I’m great, Grey, excited about continuing my career.' Which career is that, Matt? 'Baseball.' Okay, great! *holds finger to ear* Sorry, hearing now there’s big breaking news! Wow! It was just reported the Red Sox have a lot of suitors for Jackie BradleyJr. and David Price. An absolute ton of offers. Currently, 32 teams are offering packages and there’s only 30 teams, including them. That is crazy! Just going to pass through this downtown San Diego lobby and, damn it, it’s Matt Kemp again. *ducks behind a bank vault with money that is being wheeled by Brain Cashman, follows him into a room with Gerrit Cole lighting cigars rolled in million dollar bills* Gerrit Cole, 'Can you change your Diamond Club to the Cole Club?' Cashman, 'We can change Giancarlo to Giancole-lo if you want.' 'We have a deal.' Oh my God, I snuck into the biggest signing in the history of signings! Excuse me for a second while I try to piece together some of this million-dollar-ash back into a million dollar bill. So, Gerrit Cole signs with the Yankees. He seems like he might be, I don’t know, good. There’s only one person Cole disappointed last year. 'His contact rate was 66.3%? That’s next-to-last in the league! So dumb! Is he as thick as this Fribble?' That’s Ray Searage explaining pitching to a Friendly’s waitress. Luis Castillo was the only pitcher with a lower Contact Rate, but Cole’s O-Swing% was 1.4% higher. Cole was also number one in the majors for Swinging Strike percentage [16.8%]. In other words, Cole induced the 2nd lowest contact while making hitters chase more than the number one guy, and made hitters swing and miss more than everyone. I’d like to thank the Academy for telling me who died last year and thank Cole for being wonderful. Cole had the best fastball [36.2 Fastball wins above average]. That was the 5th best fastball since 2000. No one in the top 10 had another pitch register higher than 11.4, except Cole, whose slider was a 13. Like Leggs, Cole is sheer excellence. He had arguably one of the best pitcher seasons in the last 20 years. The Pirates got Joe Musgrove, Michael Felix and Colin Moran for him, then the Pirates turned around and traded Tyler Glasnow for Chris Archer. Pirates should sell their team bus and buy a Dodge Dart to drive around the team, because they are a bunch of clowns.' And that’s me quoting me! |
