By now you’ve learned a few things, hopefully:
- Roles in baseball change every day.
- This column is not published every day.
Unlike my daily show, which records an episode, well, daily, there are a few things that make this column different from the show:
- If I miss a day because I am on vacation, there is no column.
- If nothing happened yesterday, there is no column. This will happen a lot in the offseason.
- This column is actually informative and entertaining, which the show is not.
Also, I only go back 24-48 hours in my reports. If enough of you legitimately use my column as your fantasy sports bible, I can go into greater detail when I skip days, but I just don’t see this to be the case. So with that established, let’s see what’s going on.
It’s often said not to waste high draft picks on starting pitching. Of course, it depends on what your fellow GMs do on draft day. Everyone is a good bargain at some point. But in general, you want to use those early picks on a shallow position, such as third base, shortstop or second base. Then, you can pay attention to your waiver wire, and pick up someone like Ricky Romero. If he has a quality start (6 IP or more, 3 ER or less), snatch him up. He’ll hurt your WHIP a bit, but he otherwise can create some nice fantasy numbers.
Brandon Morrow will close in Seattle. Kevin Gregg has beat out Carlos Marmol to do the same for the Cubs.
Carlos Villanueva will close in Milwaukee while Trevor Hoffman is out.
Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill are the No. 4 and 5 starters for Oakland.
Anthony Reyes will be the No. 5 starter in Cleveland.
Ross Ohlendorf has made the Pirates’ starting rotation.
