SmylyIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Shoemaker.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

The same owner has both Smyly and Shoemaker both are $7 and done. AL only 5x5. He is offering Shoemaker for my free rookie Devon Travis ($10 after he is activated). I don't know if he would exchange Smyly for Shoemaker. I have a pretty good team and have the roster space so I am tempted.

I like the defense behind Smyly. If you look at his numbers after in Florida, they are more inline with the support numbers than in Detroit.
perhaps he found the magic elixir in Tampa Bay, as he strikeout rate surged to 25.4%, while his swinging strike rate jumped from 15.7% in Detroit to 19.3% in TB. That’s an enormous jump. Given his SIERA outperformance, I’m not sure he has any further ratio upside, but more strikeouts could offset any ERA jump and keep his fantasy value high.
Last year, I shared my updated xK% equation, which blends a pitcher’s overall strike percentage with his called, swinging and foul strike rates to produce an expected strikeout rate.
