    3 HR 6 RBI so far tonight. 17 HR for the season. Probably went for buck or two or just ignored in most drafts.

      The only league that I got him for $3, 12 tm NL, I'm in 5th, but only 10 pts out of 1st. Without him I'd be in dump mode for sure, but its hard to commit to a title run on the strength of guys like Dietrich. His magic beans have to fade away at some point, right? Anybody read anything insightful that points to a sustained power surge?

        I picked him up for $1 during the first FAAB run in RJEL.

              Not that cheap in my OBA leagues. Mr. HBP is still proving better than advertised. I wish I had pulled the trigger when I could.

                He has already surpassed his career high in HRs
                After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

                  Wish I could take credit or have some insight into this but sadly I can't. Baseball is juiced this this season is the only explanation. At least that is the appearance I'm seeing.

                    if the ball is juiced, how come all my hitters are underperforming?

                      Mine too. In both leagues except for Vogy.

                      Dietrich got tossed back in at 15B and went for 3 bucks in this year's auction. I did bid two but was out of bullets.

                          Simple: Your players are taking the wrong juice.

                          Maybe they’re taking actual Vitamin B!

                            If it helps Revo the team I drafted apparently are adverse to juice.
