Call me excited. Glad he won a spot in the rotation. He's my sleeper for this year, along with Chris Paddack.

"Paddack" and "sleeper" left the barn a month ago.
Paddack is probably the most OVERrated SP in all of redraft leagues. if he clears 100 IP with the Padres in 2019, color me surprised.
in a dynasty league? sure, go for it.
in a keeper league, if your double-digit bid gets topped, walk away from the auction table and toward the crack pipe.
I do love me some Burnes, though he's not available in my league.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

He has a lot of money, but also a lot of slots to fill.
What do you pay for Burnes at auction. NL only 12 team? As a result of this thread and Burnes getting dropped he is now on my target list. How far do I push it?

He would have had him free this year but $10 in the second. Maybe he thinks anything under 6-7 is a win for him.

Is he getting bid up because he was great as a reliever?

What's the selling point on Burnes? He looks good, but seems like he's being overhyped to me.

ETA: When I said TJ I was thinking about Paddack. Burnes didn't have TJ as far as I know.Last edited by Roy Hobbs; 03-26-2019, 01:49 PM.

Burnes has a sick slider and a pretty good fastball. It's why he was such a good reliever. He needs an effective 3rd pitch. I'm not sure yet if the change or curve are there. But if one of them ever gets there, then he has an elite, top-25 kind of arsenal. The more immediate appeal is that even with just 2 pitches, he can be a high-K, middling ratios kind of guy. We used to call those AJ Burnetts (I'm old) but I guess now the comp is, I dunno, Eovaldi?

Thanks for the confirmation JC.

Good start, thanks for this. How much will he use those 5 pitches and how strong are they? Does he have 2 plus pitches and 3 that he'll rarely use? If he just added 2 new pitches how often will he be using them in game situations?
When did he have TJ?
Struggled against AAA competition last year when he should have dominated. Control is not elite. Looks good not great to me, but again I'm not an expert and I was honestly looking for some information on why he's being bid up. If the answer is last years' numbers as a reliever then I'm not buying.
