Didnt he have a hot streak almost exactly like this last season? And then he returned to being waiver fodder after the insane 2-3 week stretch?
Not only is he hitting WAY more ground balls than ever (57% !), he is also hitting more balls to the opposite field, which is generally bad for power. Makes his HRs seem even more fluky. And thats before we get teh near 50% HR/FB rate that SRM mentioned.
I guess it couldnt hurt to pick him up, but of the crazy starts for late/undrafted players, this the one guy I believe in the least. As in not at all.
Does Judge for Severino/Andrus sound fair? Trying to determine reasonable value. I'm running away with power categories but suck in MI/speed and am suffering with Hill/MadBum.
How much roster turnover do you guys usually have? I just looked at my teams and currently on the 4 teams I have 10, 9, 9, and 8 guys rostered that I didn't draft which is about 40%. And I remember last year by the end I typically only had about 8 or 9 guys on each team that I had drafted.
This is do to injuries, under performance and bargains emerging in the FA market. And I don't stream pitchers because it doesn't make much sense in roto where it isn't in your best interest to maximize starts. Just wondering if this is typical.
I think in one of my leagues I've dropped everyone I drafted after the 10th round. In another I've only dropped maybe 4-5 guys I drafted or so. Depends a lot on league depth I think

No
Unless you're trading for someone you'd draft today in the first 3 rounds the answer will be no
As a White Sox fan I have watched his last couple of starts and he looks pretty good. But ... he is a career 4+era and 1.25+ whip guy with about average Ks and seems to always be an injury risk. As a roto player I want nothing to do with him. Streaming him in decent H2H situations he is probably playable but I personally don't want him.
I just offered C Seager to get Sale (guy emailed me in ypl that sale was avail). I'm Middle of the pack in pitching stats and dominating hitting (5x5 roto)
I have owings to replace Seager and it'll allow me to play owings and hernandez which will help my steals (only 3pts in 12tm).
Is this a reasonable move for me (I have kershaw carrasco Pineda tailon matz Hahn Vargas)

Think that's a great move and you should have no problem finishing top 3 in all pitching cats with 2/3 best pitchers in the game.
aj griffin: 10k/9, highest swstr of his career (although still not impressive at 10%), running like a god on babip, velocity is as unimpressive as ever. this guy was once a prospect. any interest here?
idk if i like him more than anything other than a streamer at this point, but im def running him out there for a 2 start option in H2H, and possibly streaming his SD start in Roto to see what's up.
