Anthony Rendon

[DOUGHBOYS]

Is it just me getting the bad vibe from the injury to Anthony Rendon?
Regardless, no news is usually bad news when it comes to fantasy baseball.
We like definite timelines as to when a player will play. When not getting a timeline from a team, we get antsy at the least, dismissive at most.
In Rendon's case, we're leary that IF he comes back to the field and feels the same pain, he misses even more of the regular season.
If our Main Event were this weekend, not next weekend, Rendon would not be taken even near his ADP.
Second and third base eligibility means little on our bench.

One way or the other, news will change on Rendon before Big drafts.
If the news is surgery, he plummets.
If the news is 3/4 weeks of rest. It is worse news in my reckoning. For other drafters, not so.
If he plays in spring training again, his adp hit will be mimimal.
And, if the Nats continue 'not knowing' what his timeline is, Rendon could be taken anywhere from the first to third rounds.
An intriguing case.

ditto bryant- sore shoulder before he has ever played an mlb game? ryan zimmerman career path. they should probably trade to al team that needs a dh now- while he is still worth something.

Looks like you guys want them later in draft
Especially Bryant who will be a top10 player adp by next yr.

Knowing (or not knowing) what you know now, how high do you take Rendon?
There is no gekko-type strategy to my post.
To me, each day without more news other than 'he'll be fine" or "he'll be rested longer" means less and less of a chance of good health.

I'd agree, there is no way to tell when to take Rendon. I'd gamble with late 2nd early 3 rd rounder. I'm glad we have a few weeks before the Main event draft to get news.

Sir, I can assure you that no NFBC member would ever engage in such sandbagging shenanigans.

BTW, Ryan Braun is 0 for Arizona. You would think a guy with two good thumbs would have scratched out a basehit by now...

I'm very upset that Rendon is hurt. I was looking forward to the ridiculous overdrafts next week.

Bob, he still has time to get "a clean bill of health" by next week!

Rendon will drop to 3rd round now
