SPECULATOR: September shutdowns, 2018
Jul 25 2018
Don’t these clubs know we have fantasy teams to run?
We've all been there. You're in the thick of a race in September, only to wake up to news that one of your better starters has been shut down for the season. The sting hurts even more for those of you in playoff formats. We know it’s coming—so why not plan for it?
This week, we’ll speculate on several SP that are pushing their innings envelopes and could be candidates for a late-season shutdown. Keeper league owners playing for next year can flip the script here, too. Weave in the potential shutdown risk to a contender in your trade negotiations if you’re looking to acquire these guys for 2019.
For each player, we'll give innings pitched totals over the last three seasons—broken out...
Almost!
