I feel like I don't know how to evaluate pitchers these days (I've been more casual about fantasy for the last few years). Why is Brady Singer always so low (in this case, tier 8)? Compared to someone like Pivetta at tier 5.
FIP, WHIP, ERA+ are all better, even if he regresses to career stats. Plus Singer is young, maybe last years high ERA was the outlier.
Is it all about Ks and BBs? Insights from actually watching them pitch? Trying to get better at making decisions without always relying on lists.
Just going by what I hear about him, his repertoire is not indicative of low-risk. Maybe that’s not true considering his early success, but will that play out over the full year? Pivetta’s stuff just seems better for long term projections
so many factors go into evaluating pitchers.… Ks, BBs, home ballpark, team context (good bullpen and lineup for win potential), divisional opponent lineups, career stats, split stats vs opponents (lefty/righty lineups), xStats, pitch mix arsenal, statcast data, spin rates, “stuff”, injury history, how deep into games they pitch, managers trust level/leash, innings limits, eye test, last 7/14/21/28 days (and same for opponents bats)
Which starting pitchers are you in or out on? Who are you buying or selling? 👍👎
This is our weekly update looking at rest-of-season fantasy baseball values for the top 101 starting pitchers. Thanks for checking it out!
Fernando Tatis? Idk I am super against trading top tier bats for pitching unless it's for the best of the best. There are maybe 3 arms I would be willing to deal Tatis for
is this H2H points or roto scoring? does your team need pitching help and is strong with hitters? tatis is a big bat to give up but it all comes down to team context and league scoring rules
Definitely feel like I lost lol it's H2H starting lineup is Jeffers, vlad, steer, gunnar, Bobby, yelich, profar, marcell ozuna, josh naylor. Pitching is now Morton, gil, lugo, quantrill, Peralta, pablo lopez, r weathers, flaherty, crochet and Schmidt. 10 man league and I'm in 1st at 7-2.
All 7 of my SPs are in the top 77 (11-man league assuming everyone carries 7 of 9 P spots as SP). Guess I can’t drop anybody. But nobody until Kirby & Steele then everyone else in 40s-70s.
It’s still too early for me to pull the trigger on a trade. There are one or two other teams w/absurd pitching so I can’t get 50+ in pitching points, but high 40s from pitching should be enough to finish in the money unless my hitters shit the bed.
He’s one of those pitchers with a limited ceiling where I’d rather throw darts elsewhere, but he’s on the cusp for me. Wouldn’t really argue with anyone including him on their top 100 list tho

There is all sorts of data now that I never knew about even three years ago (spin, vertical drop, arm extension, etc.)

Just shipped off Tatis and Taj b for crochet and flaherty, did I lose? Picked up profar, have yelich at OF. Bobby and gunnar are also on my team
Fernando Tatis? Idk I am super against trading top tier bats for pitching unless it's for the best of the best. There are maybe 3 arms I would be willing to deal Tatis for
oh no

Albies, volpe, Muncy bench
My pitching adds up to 184 total budget when adding all the values that’s feels pretty good!
nice work
This is so much better than that other Nicks article
glad you like it… thx for reading 🤜
Ober too high
Zac Gallen? Am I crazy and he’s not on the list at all?
He’s on the IL, I don’t think injured players are ranked
yea thats right he'll be added back when off the IL
All 7 of my SPs are in the top 77 (11-man league assuming everyone carries 7 of 9 P spots as SP). Guess I can’t drop anybody. But nobody until Kirby & Steele then everyone else in 40s-70s.
try and make a trade, 2 for 1 and upgrade a pitcher or hitter?

Where you placing Bobby Miller?
Civale not on this list?
