Anyone else people are panicking on?

How is acquiring a shortstop who has 20 SBs and is on pace for 55 SBs selling low? The unfortunate reality is that Langford was bought extraordinarily high by myself and anyone else who drafted in March and bought the ADP and projection hype.
Current ROS projection value on FanGraphs for Langford range from $1.40 to $12.00.
Current ROS projection value on FanGraphs for Caballero range from $9.20 to $16.60.
It's not selling low, it's trying to recoup the draft capital paid, and unfortunately Caballero is more likely to do that than Langford this season.
Ready to jump ship on this opinion yet or doubling down?

Wow, seizing on a single one. How about the 25-30 others listed in here who the opinion was correct on? Or did you go out and acquire the Brett Batys and Jack Suwinskis "low" and just don't want to mention it?
The point I made at the time was that you panicked and sold at his lowest value. Looking at game logs you actually did find the absolute minimum.
The thread idea is a good one in identifying under performers and talking about whether they will turn it around. Probably best not to “panic” regardless but evaluating them is good.
Yet this particular one is one I repeatedly told you was wrong to panic on and you swung and missed over and over in it. I’m not sure why you don’t own it.

What's funny about that trade, which has become a stinker, is not so much that Langford has heated up while Caballero, who I needed for SBs, has sucked, but that I also "flipped in" David Hamilton in the trade -- who has done exactly what I needed out of Caballero. So not only did I give up the far superior speedy MI, it's like I tossed in Langford for free.

I added George Springer, but missed his low point so had to pay a bit in prospect value.

I imagine Dansby Swanson can be had for peanuts. I have him and haven't shopped him, but I can't imagine anyone giving me anything for him if I did. Another struggling guy for me is Randy Arozarena. For the first couple of months, I had made buy low offers, but those have all gone away now, so he might be someone to get cheap as well. I'm hoping both heat up post AS break.

A guy I have long coveted but I'm beginning to see as less than the star I thought he would be is Anthony Volpe. He is still young and may yet become a star, but he looks far from it this year. I'm still trying to land him cheap, but I think it is a legit worry that he will continue to be what he has been the last couple of months--a poor hitter. It is hard for him to be as bad as he is lately, but it is also hard to see him suddenly going on a huge prolonged tear the rest of the way.
