I don’t love doing these on the day of games, but I ran out of energy last night. I’m having a very frustrating Main Event team so far. I took the Ober blowup early and the offense was middling, so I started slow and near the bottom of the league. I built it up to around 7th or 8th this week and then the Ragans blowup and a 4 for 40 offensive day and it’s back to the bottom. I know I shouldn’t care too much about standings this early in the season, but it is an indicator of team/league context that I want to see if I’m keeping up. FAAB is looking less interesting this week than most. I do have an opportunity to add some guys as JD Davis can be dropped. Tyler Wells and Alex Cobb will probably also be hitting the bricks as I can’t afford to hold pitchers who aren’t pitching on most my teams. There are some platoon bats (hello Joc) and some interesting bats (Luis Garcia?) and a couple kids who might be meaningful (Pages and Clase), so the bat side has options of doubtful impact. Michael Massey and Patrick Wisdom are available in all my leagues. Middling bats seem to be available. The pitching side is pretty ugly. The top ranked options across all my leagues are Paddack, Winn, Coles Sands, Joe Ross, Clarke Schmidt and someone named Albert Suarez. Ryan Weathers, Steven Matz, and Paul Blackburn are out there, so I need to dig into the matchups and see which guy is most likely to be a contributor this week. I’ve got 3 12-team FAAB leagues and 3 15’s, so I gotta get into it.
