Just seems like a game at this point. I would do it. I tried to pick him back up today and ended up losing out on waivers to another team. Too much upside to ignore.

I’m excited to have him where I really really need him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would personally err on the side of rostering him given the big upside and regret dropping him to chase saves. The underlying metrics say he should be elite and he was a stud last year so the risk / reward is just heavily in favor of grabbing him if you are waffling, imo.

KrunK 381 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 My reaction when Franmil 'only good in statcast leagues' Reyes has a slugging % of .531 and is still nearly 200 points under his .725 XSLG on the year [ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll say this again in regards to somebody who has no business being on the wire.... Make the move and do it now. Maybe the baseball gods start looking into his Statcast numbers someday and he stops going 0-fer in all but one game a week, but Josh Bell is doing really good things right now and has no business being out there. Again, make the move. You're already missing out on nice production now while waiting on the "what if" of Reyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have Bell and was thinking about dropping him to keep Franmil. That would have been a huge mistake. Get Bell. He’s a hold if you could afford the space. It depends on your team. If you lost someone due to injury and have a spot, Franmil could be a good replacement of power and you could play him every day until he hopefully gets hot. If you’re hitting isn’t good and there is nothing you like on the wire, he’s a hold for sure. But if you have someone like Josh Bell on the wire, I think you cut bait.

jseay65 302 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I've finally lost patience with this guy. He's a gaping hole on my bench. For whatever reason the Stat cast numbers aren't translating to results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

meh2 3,483 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) Still an easy hold for me and still expecting a 30+ homer season. Any knowledgeable fantasy player knows that a .160 BBIP and a .193 batting average are going to regress positively in a player with such high barrels %, hard hit %, and exit velocities. In a 12 team league that starts 5 outfielders dropping a player like this would be a mistake. If you play in an 8 team, 3 outfielder league go ahead and drop (and find a few more friends and expand your settings next year).

Why do you continue to bash him, while only stating his avg for why you don’t like him? Drop him and move on, or at least give some reasoning beyond what anyone can see from clicking on his name. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One reason only because he stinks at this time his numbers are horrible which is very frustrating because I own-him on two teams. This is fantasy baseball its all about numbers. Franmil numbers in my eyes are not that good at this time. Others want to disagree with me, you guys have the right, but don’t I have the same rights to post negatively? Twenty one times this Franmil has come to the plate with at least two ABs and only 4 times he has hit a homer. It would be nice if he could get in a groove and be one of those plug and play players. Instead I am always shuffling him in and out of my starting lineup. 32 minutes ago, El_Chingon said: No worries, those types of posters will soon leave these boards with fantasy football right around the corner.

Anyone playing fantasy baseball on any platform can easily see what his avg is, or that he hasn't hit many HR's. Simply complaining about that is for the vent/rant thread. Now if you have some concerning underlying numbers that point to avg/HR struggles continuing, then I'd want to know that. But the fact is that just about every predictive stat points to him turning it around. K's in line with minors numbers, walks as well, great exit velo, launch angle looks good too, barrel%, hard %, etc etc. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/franmil-reyes-614177?stats=career-r-hitting-mlb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mavsfan23 1,240 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Now that I look at his numbers on the year, he has hit quite a few HR's and is on pace for 36. If he gets 6 hits in his next 10 AB's, he's hitting .241 on the year, so we're one small hot streak from his buy low window being closed. If he goes 10 for his next 20 AB's he's up to .258, so it can change in a hurry. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that solid analysis. How do I subscribe to your blog?Perhaps we should look at all of the data available to us to make an informed decision on what his value is going forward.

I just am amused by (and I do it too) how we as humans reason psychologically. ‘If he (does unlikely/impossible act), he is (still not really doing all that well, but maybe then it will be ok)’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
