Player Commentary

 
David Regan
Apr 28, 2015

Dexter Fowler (OF-CHC) - Fowler has been a spectacular addition for the Cubs this year, filling a need bot in center field and at the top of the lineup. Fowler went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI and his sixth stolen base Tuesday. The big game raised Fowler's slash to .288/.366/.438. Not a bat line for a guy leading off in front of guys like Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant, and a host of other talented hitters. Fowler has now hit in five straight and you can't really ask for much more from a leadoff man. Fowler's career OBP is amazingly also .366, so he's been incredibly consistent yet again. A $4,000 DraftKings salary is a bit steep, but for a guy averaging 9 DK points, he's doing just fine.

Mark Trumbo (OF-ARI) - Trumbo was in full beast mode Tuesday, going 4-for-4 with a triple, homer, three runs, and four RBI. The massive game raise his slash to .324/.343/.559. The home run was just his second this year in 68 AB versus aa 19.2 AB/HR rate for his career. It's tough to worry too much about his lack of power at this point however, as he now has six hits with four XBH in his last two games. As long as Trumbo is healthy, he should be fairly productive, though at $4,200, his Draft Kings salary seems a bit inflated right now.

Scott Baker (SP-LAD) - With LA pitchers dropping like flies and Brett Anderson sporting a 5.49 ERA, there are plenty of opportunities in this rotation. Baker and Mike Bolsinger are expected to fill two slots for now, as talented youngsters like Zach Lee, Joe Wieland, and eventually perhaps uber-prospect Julio Urias wait in the wings. Baker though is interesting, as he has already notched one QS this year (7 IP, 3 ER vs SD) and he has usually been pretty effective when healthy. The Dodgers currently rank first in all of baseball with a .840 team OPS, so they are going to score runs for whomever the pitchers are, and as long as Baker can limit the HR's, he can be a successful streaming option. For his career, Baker's 1.2 HR/9 is a bit scary, but he's limited that with a solid 2.1 BB/9 and he'll get you a few K's (7.0 K/9 career). I'd grab him if you need a starter.

Mike Lorenzen (SP-CIN) - With the injury to Homer Bailey, the Reds are going to first turn to Mike Lorenzen, their 2013 first-round pick. He'll start Thursday and bring a 2.84 ERA in three Triple-A starts. Lorenzen is one of those guys (like Rick Porcello for instance) who has good stuff (94 mph fastball, solid slider...) that has yet to translate into strikeouts. His K/9 this year is just 5.7 and in 160.2 minor league innings, it's 6.4. Lorenzen had a solid 3.13 ERA in 120.2 innings at Double-A last year, though his ratios were merely average at 6.3 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9. He's worth a looking in deeper formats, but expect some struggles.

A.J. Cole (SP-WAS) - Cole is arguably the Nats #2 ranked pitching prospect behind Lucas Giolito, and on Tuesday, Cole made his big league debut filling for Max Scherzer. It didn't go well, as Cole lasted just two innings, allowing nine runs (just four earned) on a whopping nine hits with a 1:1 K:BB. It was pretty much batting practice off the youngster. Cole had a 2.40 ERA and 10:1 K:BB in 15 AAA innings prior to the recall, though the 18 hits he allowed were foreshadowing at its finest. Cole also had a 1.34 WHIP last year, so he's proven hittable at times, so at this point, a back-end of the rotation type ceiling seems appropriate. Scherzer appears good to go for his start this weekend, so Cole will head back to Triple-A sporting a 18.00 career MLB ERA.
