Ok, but the Pollock part isn't on North. Still, hilarious that you dumped an SS-eligibility-losing Hanley on him just as he broke and became worthless refuse.
I'm guessing he decided on the dreaded P2C approach. His velo ticked up 1 MPH but his SwStr% dropped by like 3% and his K rate plummeted. That's an odd combination of things.
I don't even know what Montas is, TBH. Now is a great time to take advantage of me if you think he can stick as a starter with 100 MPH heat. I would trade him for a crusty old warhose like John Lackey.
I might be looking to move some moderately interesting prospects/picks for a mid-rotation SP. Guys like Carson Fulmer, Frankie Montas, Jack Flaherty, Jorge Alfaro, James Kaprelian, Chris Shaw. I could bundle.
Considering only 500-600 players are owned in this league, and about half are pitchers, I'm going to go ahead and say that's below replacement level. Certainly not a Top 400 player (ie a keeper).
Eh, I mean if anything I'll just take Andrus in the waiver draft, although TBH I think I'm better off just leaving that spot blank. I don't really want to stash one through the cutdown since I don't have to.
I probably won't even have a shortstop for the first couple of months unless the Phillies start the year with Crawford... which, now that I say it, sounds very plausible.
