James Wood - .227 AVG, .699 OPS, 4 HR, 16 RBI, 3 SB
Matt, safe to say any optimism I have over these projections is unwarranted in your opinion?

Kind of hard to figure out what the Nationals think they are doing with Wood. I picked him up early in the season thinking that if Washington was going to bring him up at all, it would be early to get him a full rookie year, maybe win ROY, and get a draft pick for it. Bringing him up now that they've gone 3-7 and are dropping behind in the WC is a bit odd, IMO.An Old Friend wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 08:41 amI'm going to take the over on both FP projections.mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 08:38 amCurrent FP projections:An Old Friend wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 08:34 amPreseason projections:An Old Friend wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 07:50 am I’ll have to check out the projections for my two stashes - Noelvi Marte & James Wood - and see how closely they track.

I'm hoping for my counting numbers from Marte than that Yahoo projection.
And I'm DEFINITELY taking the over on Wood's Yahoo zeros
Ya, it isn’t. His FP projections have been wrong to the point of comedy all season.Goldfan wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 08:28 amLooks like a 3 man raceQuincy Varnish wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 07:51 amlol… maybe we need a side betmattmitchl44 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 07:15 am Fantasy Pros - Projected Order of Finish

Pretty dumb to isolate my bullpen and two pitchers on the IL + Knack who’s basically just a placeholder. I’d put my top-5 SP against anyone’s, and you can bet I’ll be fortifying my BP.mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 08:33 amIt is definitely not sold on your pitching menagerie.

Basically, it appears to be saying that it likes the quality of your top end SP (it has you gaining on the field in ERA (from 8 pts. now to 10) and WHIP (from 6 pts now to 10.5) for the rest of season), but doesn't think you have enough of it (it has you fading in wins (9 to 6.5), QS (10 to 7), and K (10 to 4.5)), and it pretty much has you tanking in saves (10 to 3).Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:00 amPretty dumb to isolate my bullpen and two pitchers on the IL + Knack who’s basically just a placeholder.

I add Logan Webb, Berrios and Pivetta and somehow you have me losing about a dozen points in pitching? Ridiculous. Even FP’s ROS projections have me #1 in ERA and #3 in WHIP. I’ll be gaining points in pitching, not losing them FFS.

That said, the margins are small. 3 more wins would move you up 2.5 pts., 24 more Ks would move you up 4.5 pts., etc.

Safe to assume you're counting zero wins on the season Justin Steele in the top 5? Who is the 5th?
It has Kershaw with 4 QS and 3 wins (40 IP), and deGrom with only 2 QS and 1 win (20 IP).Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:20 amTheir projections for my Saves make sense, but the QS and W do not.mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:05 amBasically, it appears to be saying that it likes the quality of your top end SP (it has you gaining on the field in ERA (from 8 pts. now to 10) and WHIP (from 6 pts now to 10.5) for the rest of season), but doesn't think you have enough of it (it has you fading in wins (9 to 6.5), QS (10 to 7), and K (10 to 4.5)), and it pretty much has you tanking in saves (10 to 3).

If everyone stays on track, barring further injury, I’ll finish the season with…
Clayton Kershaw
Jacob deGrom
Joe Ryan
Logan Webb
Justin Steele
Jose Berrios
Nick Pivetta
I don’t think even AOF and his pack of waiver wire weirdos can touch that. He’ll still top me in K/9, sure…
I mean... I anticipate some regression from both, but not much from Houck. He's not giving up any HR so at some point I'd expect a few fly balls to leave the yard. Houck is a pedigreed first round pick heading into his prime who has shown plus command for a long time while never being home run prone. I think he finishes as a top-10 pitcher or really close to it.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:23 amYou can’t really expect Reynaldo and Houck to continue this insanity, can you?An Old Friend wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:13 amCurrent overall rankings (SP ranking in parentheses):

Yeah, with Texas 8 games back in the WC, you wonder if there will be any point at all for deGrom to take the mound this season (he's still got a guaranteed contract through 2027).An Old Friend wrote: ↑29 Jun 2024 09:38 am As to yours... deGrom just threw off a mound last week so he's probably two months out, and he's not going to provide any length. What are you expecting from Kershaw? They're going to be crazy careful with him and they just shut down his rehab.
