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.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI 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.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

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.
