Let's look at some big busts

[madducks]

Because that's what the internet is for right?

Bryce Harper hasn't homered since May 25 despite playing almost every day.

Is he a buy low candidate? Or Kris Bryant 2.0? Or Anthony Rendon 3.0?

[madducks]

Anthony Rizzo hasn't homered since May 20 after going yard 11 times before that. But that's probably because Judge has been out of the lineup. Maybe.

It's probably more of a prolonged slump than a bust for Rizzo.

Alek Manoah says hi.

[revo]

Corbin Burnes's K/9 is just 8.5, down from 10.8 last year and 12.6 in '21. That goes along with a 4.10 ERA and 1.19 WHIP. Doesn't come close to Manoah's implosion, but it's a major disappointment.

Justin Verlander has a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP and his K/9 is down to a very pedestrian 7.7.

Sandy Alcantara may be turning a corner, but his 4.82 ERA is still gross.

Kyle Schwarber is 16 points below the Mendoza line, killing teams in BA leagues.

Jose Abreu has just 6 HRs in 300 ABs.

Alejandro Kirk is hitting .251 with 3 HRs and just 14 runs in 183 ABs

Javier Baez has a 65 OPS+ with just 5 HRs. He was just dropped in my 15tm league, oof.

Manny Machado is hitting .243/.286/.392, the worst season of his career.

Tim Anderson is also having far and away the worst season of his career, with a ghastly .226/.265/.264 line with ZERO HRs. Over his last four seasons prior to this one, his line was .318/.347/.474.

Which of these are good buy low and which are not?

If available, I would target Alcantara, Abreu, Machado, Verlander & Burnes and avoid the rest.

[madducks]

Jose Abreu has just 6 HRs in 300 ABs.

He had 5 HR & 21 RBI along with a .292 BA in June. So I think he may be ok now. I think he's a good buy low if his owner still isn't convinced.

[madducks]

Justin Verlander has a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP and his K/9 is down to a very pedestrian 7.7.

Verlander threw 7 shutout innings yesterday. The K's are still down. But that just may be the way it is now without the sticky stuff. I think he's a good buy low.

[BuckyBuckner]

I traded for Manoah in my AL league only giving up Cole Winn $5M. With a pitching staff that started with McKenzie, LGarcia and Mahle I’m desperate for starters. Zero walks in 6 innings is encouraging.

What about Cedric Mullins?

I would have said Willy Adames but he finally seems to be coming around.

How is Ced Mullins a big bust?? I'm confused.

He been better this year than he was last year.

What were you expecting to get exactly?

[rhd]

Yeah, Mullins was doing OK before he got hurt. Hasnt done much after returning yet.

Makes sense, groin injuries linger

[Sharky]

Machado feels like the right buy low (if you can).
