Alek Manoah

[The Feral Slasher]

Having a rough year, and the Astros are pulverizing him tonight...6 runs in, 2 on base and only one out. What happened to him ?

[Sour Masher]

It seems to be a mix of a lot of things, but he sure seems to have not adapted well to the pitch clock. I don't think that is all of it, but that is definitely part of it.

I just Googled him and found an article from today with the same idea: https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/...ghts-implosion

In my defense, I never read them, to the point where I didn't even know they had a blog.....I was just Googling for something that confirmed my uninformed opinion without looking for any opposing evidence, which is the American way.

He was dropped in 2 keep forever leagues. When is it time to scoop him? (He'd be a top 4 or top 10 keeper)

Not sure what is meant by the last parenthetical

I think he means that in one league, you can only keep 4 players, so is he worth picking up in that sort of league, and in the second, they only keep 10. If that is the case, I can't see Manoah building back enough value to crack a top 4 keeper list, but I could maybe see him being a keeper in a league that keeps 10 for each team.

Got it - generally agree with your assessment. In the 10, I'm curious who would be dropped for this move and how deep benches are (to determine if it's reasonable to stash)

10 teams, 10 bench spots so shallow with lots of room. It's a new league and a few teams stockpiled young players/prospects at the cost of dead spots this year. So, for context, he dropped Contreras who he streamed and who got rocked the night before (in a matchup with me).
