lbjames6 2,700 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This start is looking grim now for owners that gave him a go today. The Fenway Park rule stands strong. Hopefully he fares better against the Angels next time out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jb_power 3,512 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 going with the Costanza theory here and starting Brett "BooBoo" Anderson at Fenway. I need a hug! screw that Costanza theory ... might work for Latos but not for this POS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dodgerdog 118 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This start is looking grim now for owners that gave him a go today. The Fenway Park rule stands strong. Hopefully he fares better against the Angels next time out. but it doesn't apply to bartolo colon! he beat up on HOU and SEA. the last three starts have been REAL bad.

Dominican Power 101 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 This guy sucks right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJoint 4,181 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 This guy sucks right now. Word. All in 1 game he showed why people are so high in him (first 3 innings) and so many want to kick him in the nuts (the rest of the game). I've paid him close attention since he arrived in the majors and to me this is the worst I've seen him play. I have no trust at this point, but I'm still holding unless/until I see a long-term own possibility on the wire. If he's not injured, this could be a simple case of the 'yips' early in the season. In a broad sense he is still working his way back from TJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,559 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'd buy low anywhere I could right now. His walk rate is flukey, he has really good control. His K rate is good, ground ball rate is stellar. I'd expect him to turn it around very soon. You could probably get him for super cheap right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zumayaaaa 2,288 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Love all the people saying he sucks. The reality is his matchup sucked. I sat him so I am happy right now, I'll start him when he gets back to the O.Co 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoh123 44 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Yep, looking to buy really low right now and cross fingers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
9703 702 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Anyone starting him next week in weekly leagues? I think I might take a chance... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Max Rockatansky 1,179 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Athletics will skip Brett Anderson's next start (tomorrow) in the rotation, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juice219 35 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Not quite sure why they just don't put him on the DL right now. Either he is hurt pretty bad, or he is an awful pitcher. Leaning towards awful myself. Can only live on that 91 mph fastball so long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dodgerdog 118 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 really starting to sour on him...but this thread keeps me hanging onto him. hopefully he sits out a start and then gets it going Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,559 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Not quite sure why they just don't put him on the DL right now. Either he is hurt pretty bad, or he is an awful pitcher. Leaning towards awful myself. Can only live on that 91 mph fastball so long. He has already proven to be a very good pitcher. He has a really good slider. The results so far are not indicitive of his talent level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
prowlers 43 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 While disappointed that he loses his 2 start status, there's no way I would consider dropping him. He's not pitching well at all, however I will spread some blame to his ankle. Ideally, this is just a blimp on the season long value and he returns to form at the end of the week. Patience.

yoda 1,083 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hasn't been the same pitcher since surgery IMO. Extremely brittle to boot, which is not a recipe for success. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whips02 157 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Buy Low candidate? Go get him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vornporn 289 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think so. His value will never be lower, and hopefully hitting the reset button on his season with this skipped start will get him healthy and clear the cobwebs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exm 248 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 In one of my other leagues I've seen someone trading Anderson away for Jhoulys Chacín. Unreal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcbane 1,779 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hasn't been the same pitcher since surgery IMO. Extremely brittle to boot, which is not a recipe for success. I disagree with the first part. He had very similar stats the second half of last season to before his surgery. I agree he seems to be moving closer to that brittle tag. As long as it isn't his elbow again I'm not really super concerned. Sometimes it's just weird stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damn Yankee 583 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Getting skipped today and becomes a 1 start pitcher this week....maybe. Too much of a risk to start him I think in roto. On another note, I hope Straily does well this start...would love to see him called up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
