Joe Simon-Rasmussen

I just hate Cincy for pitchers in fantasy

He’s got very deep arsenal of high stuff + pitches and is in a friendly home park on a good team. And was super impressive in debut

Burns has HR trouble and terrible home park. Mis major walk concerns, Schlittler was great but not quite as good. Sheehan has dodgers 6-man/IL shenanigans. Yesavage reg season tiny sample doesn’t look as good. Probably some overreaction to 40 inning debut but I don’t think it’s totally wrong

Sproat has a much better track record of throwing innings than Hall did

They're threatening to kill more of us if we call them murderers. Only a murderer levels that kind of threat.

Not exactly new for the Packers either though the last 5-ish years have been better. 2000-2020 feel like I remember a lot of years decimated by injuries

Interesting. That is almost completely opposite of what i had picked up as he was coming through minors (that he was an absolute butcher with the glove)

You’re right in the big picture but calling Peralta replaceable sells him short

My favorite fact in this genre is: sharks have existed on earth longer than trees have

Ankle issue on wet ground. Idk, makes sense to me

I was shocked Suarez didn’t get more. That was a price I woulda been happy for the Brewers to pay a bit more than to add that bat

Brewers would be a great fit for Lowe as well

I’ll admit bias as a brewers fan (also don’t care about the all star process at all) but this feels like selling him a little short? You gotta exclude relievers because it’s a fundamentally different job. Among min 20 IP as starter he’s got the 19th best SIERA in MLB

97.1 average before this kinda was dialing it back though

Happiness is Lickin’!

Nice Bay with Dflicious Food!

I haven’t watched him, but the scouting reports give me major Freddy Peralta vibes.

I’ll grant that it’s terrible management if they really haven’t been talking to him about the possibility of moving him off 3rd for the last 3 years

A genuinely bad 3B being moved to DH and 1B is hardly “whatever the team needs all of the time” it’s just kinda… what happens to bad glove 3B

I think Arjun Nimmala did it last year but as a single A guy thats a pretty different situation

He hasn’t played since the 22nd. Isn’t on the IL but must be dealing with something

I’m just going to assume that you watching 300 bunts in one day had something to do with Chandler Simpson

Tobias Myers put it together in Milwaukee. Bibee has been great but they haven’t helped Gavin put it together. I think their reputation might outpace reality at this point

His skill sure but that bullpen is deep. Lotta guys they can easily turn to for saves

Shocking whiff by this FO not to have protected Smith

The Brewers do have Misiorowski and Henderson in the wings to call up but they’re definitely riskier bets than Zebby and Festa

I don’t entirely understand why they don’t just put Altuve back at 2nd and have Dezenzo and Smith in the OF corners

What’s up with Skenes and McClanahan at 58 S+? Is the crazy wide range of values due to small samples? Updated model seemed to largely shrink the range on 2024 data

Why is he putting his own name in scare quotes!!!

Quite a range
