Bryce Harper has finally come of age as a budding superstar in the league with 42 HRs in the 2015 season – which tied him for the NL Lead. He may be capable of launching up a 50 HR season in his career really soon, and has 8 HRs and 22 RBI though the Nats first 16 Games Played so far.  He is averaging 14.6 PPG on FanDuel, and will be a part of any roster I fill out as the main player, unless an awesome Lefty is opposed to him like Kershaw or Bumgarner.  Using a guy like Michael Taylor to offset the $ is always a good move, or another lateral player that hits 1 – 4 in any lineup and is in the $2500 – $2900 range.

I will open up by saying that most good fantasy players will play several lineup entries into the contests.  To save face, all of us also will put at least one roster up that takes Coors Field into consideration.

This website knows all to well what the home ballpark in Colorado does for the hitter.  How about hitting .315 as a BA for positional hitters for the Rockies 0 even in the ‘humidor era’?

All the exposing the balls to that room has done is take away the sick amount of homers that were hit.  The spacious outfield is still prone to lots of base knocks.

The reason why I won’t post that lineup is because it won’t help you win any money. The more players that are wagered on (and not unique) makes it unlikely to win any serious money.  You must factor it in to just break even though.

On Saturday, I am loving using Michael Wacha versus San Diego.  Maybe he will have better success against the Padres than his fellow chucker Adam Wainwright had.

With savings to the lineup placed forth by putting in a Danny Espinosa, and creative other value priced Nats in Michael Taylor, we are able to secure Bryce Harper.  I love adding Taylor to offset Harper’s $5900 price tag.  With him leading off a lot, it provides decent chances to at least provide value.

As for the Catcher, I can always switch out before the lineup locks should Matt Wieters not be confident in starting (he never played Friday).  Stephen Vogt, Francisco Cervelli or Miguel Montero would be all right to take the spot. Read the rest of this entry →
