No player is in the middle of a bigger breakout this season than Milwaukee Brewers SS Jean Segura. The biggest name Milwaukee received when it traded Zack Greinke to the Angels, the obvious thing his owners want to know is if this is for real.
So the question becomes, is Segura a keeper?
Last week was not kind to the players we’re tracking. Four of them are now on the DL and those that were able to avoid injury didn’t fare much better on the whole.
Here’s how things look after a rough week.
I believe there is no C fantasy owners want to see succeed more than Matt Wieters of the Baltimore Orioles. Full of promise, hype and skills, we have patiently waited for Wieters to become the standard for backstops of this generation. While the flashes of promise are still seen regularly, he has yet to reach the lofty expectations that are continually heaped upon him and so the question remains – is Wieters a keeper?
Those of you that have read this site for a while know that the main reason I started this site was due to a lack of good, easy-to-find information regarding keeper leagues. And most of you probably found this site by typing something similar to what you see in the title into your favorite search engine.
It’s frustrating to land on a site and not find what you’re looking for so I’ve decided to try this new format in an effort to provide more analysis and guidance on more players. If you like this format and have a player you’d like discussed, please let me know.
Our first subject is the player that’s brought the most visitor’s to site lately, Atlanta 1B Freddie Freeman.
While the return of Josh Johnson is a big item for a list tracking only 10 players, it’s overshadowed this week by an amazing performance by Troy Tulowitzki. I’ve admitted on more than one occasion recently that I may have been caught up in Tulo’s injury history to give him fair credit coming into the season, and I’m willing to admit it again.
Interestingly, it was a good week for a majority of the guys on this list so without any more blabbering from me, let’s just get into numbers.
A few weeks ago I used this space to talk about Matt Harvey and the job he’s been doing this year. Well, after a great week last week, I decided that I would talk a little more about Jedd Gyorko today.
To say Gyorko got off to a rough start this year is a bit of an understatement as he finished April with a .247/.317/.323 triple slash, with 0 HR, 8 R and 8 RBI. He definitely wasn’t rosterable in redraft leagues and in most keeper leagues, I bet he was either dropped or dealt for cheap.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about what’s currently going on at the site and what I have planned for the near future. As always, plans may change but once they’re in writing it seems more official so I wanted to get some thoughts down to gauge interest.
First, I’ve been getting a ton of e-mails lately. I love getting e-mails and I do what I can to respond to every e-mail I receive within 24 hours. I believe that’s important. However, I wanted to remind everyone that if you have a question you need a more immediate response to or if you want more than one opinion, post it in our forums. There are lots of people checking this site out and I’d love to see the forums become a great resource for everyone. This doesn’t mean I don’t want your e-mails, I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of all the options available to get questions answered. And if you really want to be different, shoot us a question on either Facebook or Twitter.
Next, I’m interested in hearing what types of posts everyone is interested in here. I’ve wondered for a long time what everyone thinks the most helpful posts are but the obvious answer is to ask you. Obviously I plan to continue The Chosen series updates as I’m finding it fascinating to look at how weekly performance is affecting keeper value but what else do you want to see? I’m still due for a 5 Year Futures update, which I plan to have up within the next few days, but what other posts are most interesting to you? I started this site because I couldn’t find enough fantasy baseball information pertaining to keeper leagues and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s had that problem so tell me, what have you been looking for that you can’t seem to find?
Finally, is there any interest in seeing a breakdown of how my Top 200 list from the 2012 season is performing to this point? There still hasn’t been enough time to judge the list over multiple seasons but if there’s interest in an update, that’s something I would work on.
Oh, this is actually finally – if you still haven’t picked up the 2013 Keeper Guide, pick it up now for a measly $0.99. The list still has plenty of value for this season but since it was built with a focus on building a team to compete for the next 3 seasons, it still has plenty of shelf life.
Ok, enough non-keeper talk from me. I’m serious about wanting to hear and incorporate your opinions into the site so please take a minute and comment. Thanks.
Jim
