Riley's season will not end up as expected, so I agree he was likely a bad auction day buy for most (I needed a 3bman and luckily targeted Jose Ramirez and got him for the same price as Riley). That said, if you can get him at a discount, I'd say buy. His statcast data suggesst a lot of this is bad luck. He is still 90th percentile for bat speed, 91st percentile for max exit velo, and 82% for hard hit rate. Again, his season stats will end up making 2024 a down year for him, but I think if you can land him at a discount, you will be buying the best part of his season. It can't get worse than it has been and he will likely regress to his norm the remainder of the season, or close enough to it that he is worth getting at a decent discount. I'd make a play for him, but I know his owners will not sell low.Comment

As if to validate my post, Riley goes 3-4 tonight is a monster HR. All three hits were at least 104 MPH. I'd say the window to buy low, if one exists, it very close to closing.Comment

Yup as I stated before the comments in this thread are really weird especially those suggesting selling low.Originally posted by Sour Masher View Post
Definitely managed to find the absolute worst time to sell a few of the players mentioned.
i guess lesson learned is find the guy in your league who will panic like this for easy buys.Comment

Josh Lowe is only playing against RHP and is 2-24 with 12 K's this month leaving him with a .189 BA on the season. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets sent to Triple-A to work things out. He's not even worth rostering in a 12 team mixed. Panic meter 9.

Yep, dropped him from my fantasy team after keeping him, and traded for Christian Walker before the season in my sim league. Just brutal.Originally posted by madducks View PostIf 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.

He was one of my keepers also. That's why I gave him such a long leash. But, now I need to make room for players returning from the IL and my outfield is already stacked. So, Lowe is looking more and more like the guy to cut.Originally posted by DMT View Post“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Traded for Riley today (gave away future reserve picks, plus Kjerstad - price was dirt cheap), also trying to trade for Langford.
Anyone else people are panicking on?Comment

I'm beginning to think Stephen Strasburg is never gonna live up his $245 million contract...I don't want to be hasty though. He does have a couple more years to turn things around.Originally posted by madducks View PostComment
