2K24: Arizona Diamondbacks

[Pauly]

Well I guess Towers just proved us all wrong:

Bolsinger, making his first start of the season, surrendered seven runs -- six earned -- on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings pitched.

free archie!

Nick Piecoro: "Mark Trumbo has a stress fracture in his left foot, MRI shows. Will go for second opinion."

[joncarlos]

Well that can't be good.

#Dbacks announce Reno @Aces pitcher Archie Bradley has been placed on 7-day DL with a mild flexor strain in his right elbow.

Owings has been really streaky so far. I don't remember the last guy who seemed to have so few one-hit games. He hit .290 in April and .217 in May, and looking back at May he had 13 0-hit games, 5 one-hit, a two, three threes, and a four.

So far in June he's played three games and gone 3 for 4 with a double, triple, and homer in one, 1 for 2 in one, and tonight 3 for 5 with a single, double, and homer. That said, Didi Gregorius just got called up again earlier this week and went 3 for 6 with a homer in the one game he's played in since March.

In summary, Chris Owings is a baseball player and I have no idea what to think.

Randall Delgado seems to be pitching better, finally. Over his last 5 outings, 9.1 IP, 2.89 ERA, 0.75 WHIP. The downside is two HR allowed.

What are his chances of seeing the rotation in the 2nd half? The Snakes are crying for SP. He's on WW in my 16 team keeper. If he's figured something out, he has real value.

I'd wait for 5 more good outings, frankly. When this guy is bad, he's an ungodly horror. My ratios still have not recovered from his incendiary first half.

Watch list it is.

It will be a watch closely list. His swinging strike rate is impressive.

Watch Delgado.

He was terrible early until he got a prescription for glasses, which he wears. He improved immensely immediately - I had to cut him in late April because he's out of options so he got stuck as long man in the 'pen.

He slumped for a while after that, but his usage is so sporadic it's tough to make much of that. Some peripherals are nice.

Wait, you're 16-team mixed? You can afford to wait; who else would notice him even if he gets a good start or two? Don't jump in too soon and waste a spot.

[overkill94]

Watching him pitch right now and I am wholly unimpressed. Fastball is straight as an arrow and only sitting 91-94 without great control. Seems like there's a reason his ERA is almost 6.

[Judge Jude]

xERA of 3.92 for season vs ERA of 5.77
xERA last 31 days of 2.85 vs ERA of 3.55

still unclaimable in leagues where he can't be cut if active, and that probably stays true even if he gets a SP slot back this year.
deep NL-only deep bench stash - ok, maybe, especially if pickups have a low keeper cost.

it's not personal, Randall - it's business.

With Prado trade, who wins the most playing time?

Hopefully it's not Andy Marte!

[bryanbutler]

lamb called up today. hopefully it's him.

[onejayhawk]

I am being offered Wade Miley as the player to be cut later.

Does he have any value in mixed leagues smaller than 20? His option for 2015 is worth pick #350, give or take.

BTW, Randall Degado no longer has an ERA of 6. That was June. Since July 1 he has 13 appearances, 20.2 IP, 21 K, 3.05 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 2.1 K/BB. Not Earth shaking, but I would take a season of it.

Jason mentioned Randall Delgado in his latest article on Fangraphs. He had a fantastic July, 0.54 ERA, but two bad outings in August so far. I am keeping an eye open, but he looks very inconsistent.
