poopdungbeatle 346 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Jeez, i was hoping for the best when I picked up Masterson prior to the season starting but this is amazing. So far, all 3 starts have been on the road and he's been total domination. Wuz @ home tonight I'm an idiot...i was actually watching the game as i was posting too. Link to post Share on other sites

9703 695 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The White Sox had four lefties in the lineup - two of them I've never heard of. My point is that he's always been able to dominate righties, but lefties have given him trouble. Not sure if he's made an adjustment this year. His stuff has always looked good.

Tom Hamilton was saying tonight how he's already been throwing his slider a lot more than last year on a per game basis. Granted it's been three games. So what's the consensus? Real deal or sell high candidate? Link to post Share on other sites

kobe24 597 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 damn im regretting not drafting this guy Link to post Share on other sites
THall0890 444 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Luckily I managed to grab him off the waivers. As a Tribe fan, I still have memories of him from last year and I think it will make me nervous all year when he takes the mound. Link to post Share on other sites

THall0890 444 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Got him for Berkman in a keepr league...Looks good! I dig the move. It's only a matter of time before Berkman goes down with some kind of injury. Link to post Share on other sites
UVA_Drew 1,283 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Is he now a must start next week vs. Bos? At home? Have had this guy on my bench both weeks now, and regretting it both times. Link to post Share on other sites

millerhuggins1929 17 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'm so glad I got him off waivers-wasn't sure but took a chance. Hope he helps me and the Indians to the postseason. Link to post Share on other sites
Sine_cera 6,239 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Is he now a must start next week vs. Bos? At home? Have had this guy on my bench both weeks now, and regretting it both times. The BoSox have two lefties (Ellsbury and Drew) and 3 switch hitters in their lineup (Nava, Salti, Victorino). Two of their righties (Napoli and Middlebrooks) have both hit HR's against him.

Jack Straw 6 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think I will continue to start him , while he is pitching well. I also picked him up off the WW and have been trying to "sell high" after his first 2 starts, but no bites, so i might as well hold him and play him. His k/bb number is elite. Great GB % as well. He is dominating righties at a 12 k/9IP . Lefties only a 5.5. However, I did read he had an increase in Velocity of over 2 mph from april 2012 to april 2013, which is the highest in the majors. He could be the real deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Obscene_Domino 117 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Tough to sell high on a guy like this IMO. It would really take a while for people to bite I think. Since most of us picked him up off the WW or with a very late round pick, might as well ride this train until it hits the next stop. Link to post Share on other sites
FantasyShmantasy 482 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 The thing with Masterson is that he has a long history of mediocrity and bi-polar lines from week to week. It'd take a good couple of months of consistency for the general population to think he is legit this time. Link to post Share on other sites

CWebb 7 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If he pitches a QS against the BoSox tonight, I'm all in. I picked him up two starts ago and he's been lights out. Link to post Share on other sites
