The two time defending champion of our league just dropped Dye. I have not found anything saying he died, so I am assuming that the owner is just an idiot. He picked up local boy Jenkins who is hot right now. This is my first year in the league....so now I am assuming this league is a bunch of idiots. Of course I have 10th waiver priority...so it would be amazing if I get Dye
I also own Dye and benched him this morning and replaced him with Teahan. He is off to a horrible start and looks absolutely lost at the plate. I wouldnt drop him though.
nothing wrong w him & he shouldnt be dropped, but he was the easiest guy to predict this year IMO, no way was he going to have a year like last year so he would resume being a 3rd, 4th mid-late rd OF, & thats probably what will happen
I think he'll pick it up... I think last year was his ceiling but I don't see his numbers significant dropping from last year's. I stress significantly... because they WILL drop.
Jermaine Dye's career numbers tend to indicate he's a 275/25/80 guy on an average team. If you give him a little allowance for how the Sox are a good offense and bump him up to 100 RBI, that's still a pretty mediocre stat line. I was fairly sure JD Drew would outperform him this year and so far I haven't been proven wrong.
And the thing is, I realized he'd have a down year as opposed to last, but I'm in a 14 team league where OFs flew off the board and caught me off guard, and I'm basically relying on him as my #1 OF. (Fortunately my IF and pitching are strong!)
Im in a pts league so I'll settle for anything - a 2 hit game, couple of runs scored...all these 0-4 games are freaking killing me!
Can't we discuss how it's only April 10th and he's only had 20 AB instead? What is he going to bat .100 all year? Come on now, guys, these threads are crazy...
