Yesterday, Carlos Carrasco went 5 1/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.95. Whew. Luckily, Carrasco was in that tier of preseason pitchers I said not to draft. You still drafted him? But I said he was like a skunked can of La Croix bacon-avocado cheeseburger flavor. *scrunches nose* You didn't pay attention? Aw geez. Why? Not to answer but to lower your head in shame. Since you didn't pay attention the first time, let me say it once more so you can again ignore it, "For the first time in his career, Carrasco (Careerasco?) threw 200 IP last year. Not bad for a 25-year-old. Less so for Carrasco who is 31 years old. I know, I was surprised he was that old too. Not as surprised, as say, a cat jumping out of a closet. They should do a Cats revival on Broadway where the whole thing is cats jumping out of closets." And that's me quoting me! K/9 and velocity stabilizes fairly quickly and, well, his rates are kinda the dog's breakfast. His velocity is down over a mile, and his Ks are down from 10.2 to a 8.1 K/9, and he has the highest xFIP in six years. If this doesn't worry you, you might be slow on the uptake.

Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
