Back in the day, I would use it as a 'gauge' to see where I stand in each category and I will start doing that soon, but never feel the need to do it before September.
My teams suck this year and I don't need standings to tell me that. All I have to do is look at my teams.
For those of you who took any advice from me, I am deeply sorry.
I sucked. Plain and simple.
But also if you took advice from me...stop it. I'm no better player than you are. Draft who YOU want to draft.
That way, you could feel like me right now and know it's all my fault!
I have been getting ready for next year for a while now.
And even though I may get a 'head start', I know it does me little good.
Heck, I feel the same way about next years pitching as I did when starting studying.
I trust no pitcher.
Really.
Who do YOU trust?
deGrom?
Cole?
Bieber?
Darvish?
Giolito?
Nola?
Flaherty
Kershaw?
Scherzer?
Buehler?
Bauer?
Castillo?
Each of those pitchers were taken in the first two rounds of drafts last year.
After this year, it won't matter what their stats are.
Each drafter will be asking themselves the same question....
Do I trust this pitcher enough to be taking him so high in a draft?
I can't wait for the PreMature Draft to start.
I know who I trust...sort of...kind of....a little.
What I want to know is where the trust lies with other drafters.
Do they have faith in deGrom and Bieber coming back from injury?
Can Bauer keep it in his pants when meeting naughty girls?
And speaking of sticky stuff, can Cole pitch consistently without sticky stuff?
It seems every pitcher has a demerit going into drafts next year.
I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
