Get off my JOC Pederson!! (1 Viewer)

Thoughts on Joc Pederson going forward?

He's getting hot now after sucking at the beginning of the season and then going on the DL with a concussion. 

Do you trust him in your starting lineup over guys like Lorenzo Cain, Shin Choo, Jason Upton, Adam Jones, Hunter Renfroe, etc.?

No

Yes

Yes, but not over Justin Upton

Probably not

Yes

Simply can't trust him (well, really can't trust Roberts) in a weekly league if there are LHPs on the docket. Daily league, becoming usable.

He's received more regular playing time due to other injuries but now that Seager is back in the lineup, I expect Pederson to sit vs. LHP with **** Hernandez getting those OF ABs. 

If you have the roster room and attention span to platoon Pederson, he's not a bad OF4/5 option.  There's enough power potential there to overcome his negative AVG.

 in an OBP league he's definitely a solid 4th OF

Hard to be anything more than that though if he's sitting against lefties, which is happening even when he's hot.  Again let me say, Dave Roberts is the Bill Belichick of baseball as far as fantasy goes.

Nope.

Now he's going to want to fight you too

Yikes

Joc Pederson went 8-for-56 (.143) with one homer and one double over 14 games to finish out the regular season with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Ouch. This was after Pederson found himself in a 2-for-41 (.049) funk prior to his demotion on August 19. He's slated to rejoin the Dodgers later this week now that the Triple-A season is over, but look for him to have a diminished role down the stretch.

Yeah I finally dumped him in Uber league. Looked totally lost this year. He's still young enough so there is still a chance he does something. It will be tough with the guys in the Dodgers prospect pipeline breathing down his neck though.
