He's an ELITE ACE at a discount price. All aboard!

there it is!

keep em coming sir

i was wondering if gekko lost a step...

yeah. old gecko would have had 5-6 of these by now. maybe even a fireside chat or two.

His GB% has been out of this world as well. No wonder he hasn't given up any runs!!! People taking lesser SP over Tanaka should really have their head examined.

Hope you are right on Tanaka, Mark. My plan going into my auction draft was to spend whatever it took to get Darvish and Tanaka, and then let the rest of the chips fall where they may. I did get both guys....now they have to produce.

Anybody who's drafting tonight might get a little recency bias discount on him.

on the bench for Week One

So how many main event teams just died today?

None. All Tanaka owners have a mulligan. Well until week 2

Interesting. If not starting him, Tanaka owners miss out on his next start as well.
The fantasy baseball Gods will probably have him throwing a no-no

His next outing is in Camden Yards, which is daunting even for a guy who doesn't have an ERA of 23.63.

His only outing there, he threw eight innings of shutout ball.
We know nothing

I would not say that. Not throwing Tanaka still has an impact considering teams will have to throw their 10th pitching option which is either a reliever or a starter with tough match up or just a poor option. Yes they could get lucky but they will probably lose on K, maybe W and they could still get a beating out of that 10th option.
