I do.
He's still young. He misses bats.
And he plays in front of one of the worst fielding teams in baseball.

Rodon's not an Ace yet, but he's not as bad as it looks.
So does Rubby De La Rosa.

:gucci:

You really gonna just cherry pick that one thing?
Not to mention that Rubby is injured.
And also isn't left handed, which puts a premium on Rodon.
And also wasn't the 3rd overall pick and a highly rated prospect coming into the Majors like Rodon?

:hhh:

Rodon gets shelled too often for my tastes and has a trash WHIP.

But hey, maybe he'll turn into the next Unit and both of you can throw this in my face. :hubie:

Let's not get carried away here.
:whoa:

I am not saying Rodon will become Chris Sale tomorrow.
I'm just saying he's got a long leash.

Moncada been trash in both his mlb call ups.This is why prospect rankings are just that
Projections are just projections but let's calm down here. It's not like scouting doesn't have merit.

Mike Trout hit .220 upon being called up.
Max Scherzer floundered and posted ERAs in the mid-4.00s before figuring it out.
Zack Greinke had an ERA damn near 6 early in his career.

Rodon may not become elite, but you don't give up on that arm yet.

It's pissing me off that my fantasy team is crushing it and damn near all my projections on the season are coming true.

But I can't win for fukking shyt in FanDuel.
I won $100 two weeks ago and $50 on Monday but I can't tell you how many 90-point nights I've had.

:mjcry:

I'm not losing a lot of money (rarely go above 2-3 dollars) but what the fukking fukk!?

Look at Scherzer early in his career

People have no patience anymore. If a guy isn't tearing the league up right away he's garbage

Baseballs fukkin hard

Pick up dejong

Already picked up by someone. :to:

What's your roster looking like?

Streaky. :to:

Posey
Thames
Baez
Bregman (FINALLY coming around)
Lindor
Cruz
Justin Upton
Happ
Cain
Some scrubs on the bench.

Pitchers:

Fulmer
Taillon
Perdomo
Justin Wilson
Britton
Godley
Teheran
Mejia

My bats catch fire from time to time but my pitching has been a disaster all year besides Fulmer (and he doesn't get great run support like tonight). I thought Teheran would be a rock and I actually let deGrom go as my keeper because he always fell apart in the second half of each season I had him and killed me in the playoffs or down the stretch of the regular season.
