Please ease the nerves of Holliday’s fantasy managers.2.Talk about struggling, Maikel Garcia has been struggling.  Do you think he’ll be dropped from the top of the lineup?  Demoted??3.Yariel Rodriguez started Saturday’s game and looked great.  3.2 IP 1 ER, 6K.a.Kevin Gausman continues to struggle.  At least his velo was back.  He’s got NY this week.  Do you sit him?4.Bobby Miller hits the IL with shoulder inflammation.  Of course, he did.5.Ronel Blanco gave up a run.  I didn’t think this was allowed…6.Your call on MacKenzie Gore continues to look really good.  He was great on Saturday.  Granted it was against the A’s, but the stuff looks great.  Is he starting to put it together?7.Talk about great.  How about Nick Lodolo’s first outing of the season?  In 5.2 IP, he gave up one hit and struck out 10!  Holy Moly.

2224 - Waiver Wire - Week of April 15, 2024

Take 10 with Tim – April 12, 2024 at 8 am ET1.    Jackson Holliday gets the call.  Kind of makes you wonder why he didn’t just go North with the team?a.    Stat line for 2024 – HR, SB, BA2.    Four hitters off to hot starts – Should we be buying into this?a.    Tyler O’Neill (ADP=221) - .343/.489/.857, 6 HR, 10K/8BBb.    Ryan McMahon (223) – .383/.464/.553, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 12K/8BBc.    Alex Kiriloff (356) – .324/.385/.647, 1 HR, 5K/3BBd.    Dominic Canzone (486) – .233/.303/.567, 3 HR3.    Four pitchers off to hot starts – Should we be buying into this?a.    Tanner Houck (393) – 12 IP, 2 wins, 0.00 ERA, 17K/2BBb.    Brady Singer (428) – 13.1 IP, 1 win, 0.68 ERA, 14K/2BBc.    Cody Bradford (483) – 19.1 IP, 3 wins, 1.40 ERA, 17K/2BBd.    Paul Blackburn (486) – 13 IP, 1 win, 0.00 ERA, only a 4.85 K/94.    Five hitters off to slow starts – Should we be worried?a.    Ronald Acuna (1) - .256/.383/.308, 0 HR, 4 SB, 13K/7BBb.    Julio Rodriguez (3) - .196/.255/.216, 0 HR, 2 SB, 18K/3BBc.    Nolan Jones (49) - .157/.246/.235, 0 HR, 1 SB, 23K/4BB, 40% K-Rated.    Paul Goldschmidt (76) - .182/.294/.250, 0 HR, 0 SB, 16K/6BBe.    Henry Davis (234) - .156/.293/.219, 0 HR, 0 SB, 12K/6BB5.    Five pitchers off to slow starts – Should we be worried?a.    Luis Castillo (32) – 15.2 IP, 0 wins, 6.89 ERA, ERA, 18K/4BBb.    George Kirby (39) – 14.1 IP, 1 win, 8.16 ERA, 13K/2BBc.    Jesus Luzardo (86) – 15 IP, 0 wins, 7.20 ERA, 17K/9BBd.    Zach Eflin (83) – 17 IP, 1 win, 6.35 ERA, 15K/2BBe.    Joe Musgrove (106) – 18.1 IP, 1 win, 6.87 ERA, 17K/7BB6.    I decided not to start Ryan Weathers against the Yankees, and of course, he pitched well and got the win.  I like him, but the strand rate is pretty high as he’s walking too many.  What should fantasy managers think for the season?  Stat line: ERA, WHIP, Ks and Wins7.    Dylan Cease is off to a strong start.  How are you feeling about him the rest of the way?  Is he more the pitcher of 2022 or 2023?8.    I was going to ask if Dylan Cease is a sell-high guy.  Let me ask you this?  Is there such a thing as a sell-high pitcher anymore?  You can argue with pitching as thin as it is, why would you sell anyone?  What’s your thinking on this long-held fantasy adage?9.    Which one hitter will you be targeting in this weekend’s FAAB?10.    Which one pitcher will you be targeting in this weekend’s FAAB?
