I think the mental aspect is going to be a strong point for him. He has great stuff, maybe ace stuff, #2 starter at a minimum, but I really like his mental toughness. He was a collegiate athlete in Division I basketball, and I think that gives him a head start on most prospects as far as not getting too high or too low based on small sample sizes. Love the way he approaches the game, and hope he stays up for the long haul, though some feel 170 innings or so will be his "cap" this year. We'll see. Not sure how it will translate to fantasy, but as a Reds fan, I like what I see.Legit prospect with front of rotation stuff. He's pretty early getting to this level so the question will be consistency and bouncing back from any bad starts.
Rolling him out there with confidence tonight!I like him, but it seems a bit early to start trotting him out there unless your leeg is pretty deep and you're hurting for IP.
Gonna claim him in Cake. Should be able to start him in MayRolling him out there with confidence tonight!
Going 5% in FAAB, $11 on $200 if someone goes $10 on ESPN. I like what I see, but I'm not sure 10% is in the budget for me. If I'm wrong, so be it.Ugh what's his price gonna be in FAAB now? I had my eye on him last week and regret not picking him up.
I'm putting in $5 of my remaining $90 budget but I'm pretty desperate for pitching. If he turns out to be a stud, I would designate him as a keeper.Going 5% in FAAB, $11 on $200 if someone goes $10 on ESPN. I like what I see, but I'm not sure 10% is in the budget for me. If I'm wrong, so be it.
Won for the 5% of budget, no other bids.I'm putting in $5 of my remaining $90 budget but I'm pretty desperate for pitching. If he turns out to be a stud, I would designate him as a keeper.
Roll the dice and see if you can get a 3rd quality start of him then kick some tires before he gets the Cubs next time up. Who knows what shiny new syndrome will drum up. His K's and BB's in the upper minors don't inspire much confidence and he's still kinda new to pitching. I'd expect several bumps this season, just no real clue right now when they will start.Went from 8% to 61% owned in CBS leagues over the past 10 days with the majority of that number coming the past few days. He is the most added SP per cbs.
Cat is out of the bag in competitive leagues Im afraid.
The question is now this, what is his trade value once the ESPNish fantasy advice articles come out over the next few days? And should you trade him for a solid starter type?
Ugh someone else had bid $12 and got him. I guess the cat was out of the bagI'm putting in $5 of my remaining $90 budget but I'm pretty desperate for pitching. If he turns out to be a stud, I would designate him as a keeper.
At the beginning of the week, it looked like he would be facing the Rockies at home. Now I'm stuck with him in the lineup today. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst :(
That sucks.Well that didn't take long. Good thing I was prepared for the worst.
Before today's game, he had the following stats:jamny said:That sucks.
Glad I sat him. I wonder how this will affect his next possible starts.
but he had a two start week. I know another #######.Some dumb### in my league started him tonight.
