Cmilne23 10,559 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 he's super underrated Agreed I like this guy a lot. Gets really good wood on the ball, hits in a very good lineup in front of some very good hitters. He will have lots of statistical opportunities this year. Link to post Share on other sites

natti 264 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 we need to keep pimping this guy until he catches on with the general public. he's a legit 25/10 threat Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawks 37 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Odds he plays tonight against lefty ? Link to post Share on other sites
PMantis24 67 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Odds he plays tonight against lefty ? I was wondering the same thing but he's 2/3 against Holland, super small sample size. But he still might sit, I hope Maddon goes with him tonight. I have to say, Joyce is very underrated, even on my own team. I've missed so many of his good nights already cause I started someone else over him. Link to post Share on other sites
natti 264 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 cbs states that the rays will be facing 6 right-handed SP's this week. if that's true then it should be a great week for joyce. http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybaseball/story/18847838 Link to post Share on other sites

natti 264 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 the rays have officially signed matsui. matsui has hit lefties fairly well throughout his career. therefore, i gather that he will see a lot of AB's at the DH position (over luke scott). i'm concerned that this has decreased joyce's value (ros) as it probably decreases the likelihood of him seeing AB's at DH.

Im not sure how many games he will play against lefties, if Maddon sat him last night in a big game at Texas I'm not too sure how confident he is in Joyce's ability to hit lefties. Holland has actually been worse this year against lefties but a very small sample size. Link to post Share on other sites

Holland has actually been worse this year against lefties but a very small sample size. my hope was that luke scott would be shown to be an incompetent DH vs. LHP's. therefore, maddon would start to give joyce a shot at playing in those games. the matsui signing seems to crush that hope Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get it I am happy to not have an 0-4 in my lineup, even if he might occasionally get a R/RBI. i was hoping for an improvement over his past performance vs. LHP. moreover, in h2h leagues i can use the other counting stats- runs, homeruns, rbi's, walks, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
FearTheBeard 1,494 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Matsui should change nothing on how you manage Matt Joyce on your roster. Joyce is an incredibly productive player in FBB when used correctly. Matt Joyce owner guide - play him Vs all RHP, bench him Vs all LHP. He will continue to play everyday Vs RHP - move changes nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew 259 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I started him this week in a weekly. 7 games -- 6 against righties. I think his PT will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
JFS179 3,772 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Here's my question with this guy, and full disclosure: I own him nowhere, yet I'm intrigued. Approximately how many ABs can you reasonably project when you're sitting vs all LHP starters? Just looking through the AL East: Yankees - 1 of 5 starters (CC Sabathia - though if Pettitte comes back you're at 2 of 5) Sox - 2 of 5 starters (Lester, Doubront) O's - 2 of 5 starters (Matusz, Chen) Jays - 1 of 5 starters (Romero) So in his own division, 6 of 20 (7 of 20 with Pettitte) opposing starters are lefties, meaning if we assume they continue to platoon - no reason to assume they won't - Joyce is going to not start about 30% of games within his division. Taking it to AL Wide: Tigers - 2 of 5 (Smyly, Below) White Sox - 2 of 5 (Danks, Sale) Indians - 0 of 5 Royals - 3 of 5 (Chen, Sanchez, Duffy) Twins - 1 of 5 (Liriano) Angels - 1 of 5 (Wilson) Rangers - 2 0f 5 (Harrison, Holland) A's - 1 of 5 (Milone) Mariners - 1 of 5 (Vargas) TOTAL AL: 19 of 65 (20 of 65 with Pettitte) -- so we can reasonably assume Joyce isn't starting in 30% of his games, not counting inter-league which, without the DH can cause everyone to miss ABs. Regardless, if we assume 600 ABs is a full-time player, Joyce is looking at 420... right? That's my only knock on the guy... and I have no desire to roster Keppinger for those off days...
