Official "Panic Button" Thread

It's still too early to panic. A perfect example is my local limited bench mixed keeper league, which sees a lot of slumping players getting dropped in April & May, only to be plucked off the wire and then breaking out for another manager. Needless to say, it's a very active waiver wire with a well stocked free agent pool during the first few months. It makes for a very interesting and fun league.

Wyatt Langford with a 3-3 game plus a walk yesterday. That's encouraging.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand is 11-39 in his last 10 games. He should be ok.

And zero surprise to anyone who has watched his approach this season.

I don't have him, but I'm being offered him, so wondering what the panic meter is for Colt Keith. I've never been a huge fan, so I may be biases, but for this year, I'm thinking a panic level of 8. I may deal for him if you guys think the number should be lower.

I dropped him for Ryan McMahon in my limited bench league. If McMahon wouldn't have been on the wire, I probably would have stuck with Keith. But, he is in danger of being demoted if he doesn't break out soon, which i doubt he will this year. Maybe 2025 will be his year.

Awesome thread, revo!

Stott hits 2 HRs yesterday

[revo]

Some new ones:
Randy Arozarena - just not hitting. Probably just a slump. Panic Meter - 3.

Ryan Noda - hitting just .139. As he was a Rule V pick who had a surprising year, it wouldn't shock me to see him demoted to AAA soon, especially as the A's have an OF/DH crunch. Panic Meter - 9.

Javier Baez - probably only rostered in the deepest of leagues, or AL-onlies, but yet another terrible year for him. He's toast. Panic Meter - 10.

James Outman - .173/.256/.284. Probably has a lot of goodwill from last season, but when Heyward returns, Pages may not be the one on the outs. Panic Meter - 6.

Corbin Carroll - .191/.294/.236. Terrible start to the season. The D'backs have also dropped him to 7th in the order. He's not going anywhere, and probably is a great buy low. Panic Meter - 3.

Jack Suwinski - .178 with 2 HRs. Panic Meter - 6.

Alex Bregman - 0 HRs through 97 ABs. I'm not worried. Panic Meter - 4.

Ceddane Rafaela - .194/.226/.357. He's producing, just not getting on base. Still.....Panic Meter - 4.

Spencer Torkelson - 0 HRs. Panic Meter - 4.

Jackson Chourio - another top prospect struggling. .202/.248/.351. Maybe this isn't his year? Panic Meter - 6.

Brett Baty - losing playing time to Mark Vientos, especially vs RHPs. Panic Meter - 5.

Joe Musgrove - 6.94 ERA, 1.66 WHIP. Just 6.9 K/9. Panic Meter - 4.

Michael King - 5.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP. 2.5 HR/9. Panic Meter - 6.

Mike Soroka - 6.83 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, a measly 4.0 K/9 (what is this, 1982?). If for some reason you're still rostering him, the party's over. Panic Meter - 10.

Triston McKenzie - the 4.91 ERA isn't terrible, the 7.0 BB/9 is. Over his last two (injury riddled) seasons, he has issued 30 BBs in 38 IP. Cleveland-area reporters are bracing for bad news on his arm. Panic Meter - 9.

Nolan Jones. Ugh WTF man I know you were a free swinger but this is ridiculous. Hoping warm weather in Coors is the cure. 6 on the worry meter.

Jones to the IL. Jordan Beck recalled.

I disagree












Never too early to panic

Vientos demoted to AAA, crisis averted. Still not playing well. Panic Meter dropped to 4.
