OK then, a stab at a few I like in the early going, rain ignored beyond batting conditions. Again, DK multis and doubles. I'll do these a little more if they inspire debate/constructive criticism:
* While he's not going to put up stellar numbers, anyone with Juan Nicasio's K% is going to be a solid value at $4500 if you want to absolutely load up elsewhere. or just pair someone with JoFer/Arrieta.
* I like Lucroy for the simple fact that he has a pulse, bats 4th and costs $2700. Also has historically had reverse splits.
* Coco Crisp has seemed consistently low-priced to me. Today he has Anibel (who he hit even when Anibel was good), who has been incredibly volatile. He hits righties pretty well too.
Notes:
* Harper's career vs Aaron Nola: 5 for 7 with 2 HR. Normally, this would be a good thing, but with the way the Phils have approached him (5 walks in 2 games), I wouldn't expect a whole lot of "hittable pitches"
* The Rockies bullpen has to be exhausted right now (and to a lesser extent, the Pirates'). Could provide an invisible uptick for starter-based projection systems.
* The projections I'm using hate Rubby de la Rosa. Cardinals stack?
