Joe_Dan 14 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Looks like Pena, Milone, and Jackson are all listed as starters today by MLB.com: https://www.rotowire.com/baseball/daily-lineups.php I suspect Peña will be a bulk guy today, though, based on listed probable starters here: https://www.mlb.com/angels/roster/probable-pitchers. The other two do indeed seem to be starting. Link to post Share on other sites

osb_tensor 1,414 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 according to CBS, Milone will likely be bulking today, but they go on to admit this is speculation and SEA hasn't given any formal indication one way or the other. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 12 start pitcher limit in my points league. So any pitching points I get without using a start is gravy. Josh hader for instance has crazy value in this league. He’s top 20 for pitchers and doesn’t need to start. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kmoore1521 1,451 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Also Bulk guys are generally in a good spot to get the W's adding to their value (the good ones at least) Link to post Share on other sites

osb_tensor 1,414 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) so there is some language confusion going on in general with regard to these guys. is the following generally how people are using terminology for pitchers and the expected/potential fantasy impact? starter - normal starting pitcher (eligible for Wins/Quality Starts) opener - expected to start the game, but only pitch 0-2 innings (ratios only) bulk(er?) - expected to follow opener (eligible for Wins, but not Quality Starts) reliever - in game pitcher typically for 0-2 innings (holds) closer - pitcher brought in secure a win in a close game (saves) Edited June 17, 2019 by osb_tensor 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, the terminology sounds better, but PP can get confused with ESPN's Primary Pitcher designation. Link to post Share on other sites
