My Main Event team is in seventh place, and that’s not on its face that bad in early June, but it was in first for most of April and has fallen off precipitously since. Why, you might ask? Take a look:
1.13 Trea Turner — IL
4.3 Zac Gallen — IL
5.13 Paul Sewald — missed April
6.3 Shane Bieber — IL (out for the year)
10.3 Yu Darvish — IL
15.13 Rhys Hoskins — just activated from IL
16.3 Jorge Polance — IL
18.3 Jon Gray — IL
19.13 Max Meyer — demoted
24.3 Dane Dunning — just activated from IL
25.13 Lars Nootbar — IL
26.3 Junior Caminero — IL (minors)
What’s amazing is the really injury prone guys (knock on wood), Yordan Alvarez and Corey Seager, have stayed healthy.
The other teams are mediocre too.
Jack Kitchen is keeping the first one afloat despite my drafting Corbin Carroll at 1.8, thanks to Luis Gil and Jose Caballero pickups, to go along with Jordan Westburg and Shota Imanaga who I drafted.
Ryan Garofalo is treading water with the second team — not sure he’s picked up anyone good, though.
Alex Puma has the last team in eighth place — he picked up Jurickson Profar, and the team is treading water too.
I still expect all four to cash — none of them are out of it — but just figured I was overdue for an update.
