These guys drafted pretty high who have started off the season slow. What's their outlook ros?

I'll start with 5. Feel free to add.

Encarnacion. .210 avg, 5 Hrs, 11 RBI
Jon Lucroy: .211 avg, 2 Hrs, 6 RBI
Joey Bats :187 avg, 2 Hrs, 9 RBI
Trev Story : .155 avg, 6 Hrs, 13 RBI
Trumbo : .221 avg, 2Hrs, 12 RBI

E5 will heat up w the weather. Notorious "slow starter"

Lucroy heating up, will be fine

Bautista is on down side of career, he's lost a step or two. May be droppable

Trumbo ain't as good as he showed last year nor is story. Their power is real, so is the ability to swing n miss a lot though

Bautista looks lost and overmatched.

Story is a strike out machine, but I thought he'd hover around ~.250 avg.

Thought Trumbo was shoe in for 40 bombs

Never was a fan of Lucroy. I have him this year and I hate him.

Every year I say E5 is overrated (mostly bc I still see him as a Red), and every year he mashes. I have him this year aand he's playing like that Red.

Unrelated question. Reliever comes in bottom 8th in a save opp up 2 and finishes the side. Top 9 team scores 5 runs. Same reliever closes out game. Is he credited a save?

How many outs did he get in 8th

1. Does that matter?

Yes, if he got 1 out and bases were empty it wouldn't be a save

If he got 1 out and there was a guy on base, it would've been a save. Tying run would've been the batter, making it a save situation

I'm guessing bases were empty

Last night Jansen came in with the bases loaded, 2 out, up 5-1. Save opportunity. He strikes out the hitter. Top 9 Dodgers go up 10-1. Jansen comes in bottom 9 and retires the side. No save.

I was very confused, until I looked and Jansen didn't finish the 9th

Joey Bats ain't turning it around. He's done.

Story worries me too...

The rest will be fine

I'll add two:

Chris Davis
Rougned Odor

Davis is probably the most frustrating player I've ever owned. Truly hate him

I don't follow Odor that much to have an opinion. He may be the reason Bautista is done.

Davis is on his way to a typical Davis season

There really isn't light at the end of Odor's tunnel until he learns to take a walk. He will run into some HRs and what not. He's expendable in smaller leagues

I pray someone drops Odor in any of my leagues. He has a run production ceiling that not many at his position have .193 BABIP but his hard hit rate is almost identical to last years. He hits in a good spot in a good lineup in a good park.

BUY if someone is spooked by the slow start.

What do y'all think about Mookie? Really weak start...not hitting with power or stealing bases. Was really wanting him to be the 25-25 type of guy.

Betts' numbers will be there, but he's closer to the guy you saw in 2015 than the guy we saw last year

Rizzo is starting to crank up...

chased him hard in an auction but basically am screwed otherwise right now with other players I was high on.

injuries everywhere and I failed to trade any players before they went on the shelf.
