I assumed, when I opened the Pick 6 page today and saw the scores for Amazin' Avenue players, that R.A. Dickey had blessed us all with a bounty of fantasy points. After all, he pitched reasonably well, and I just generally presume that when he pitches, due to his awesomeness and the (understandable) cult following he has here, most players have him in their lineups when he pitches.
So I was surprised to find that he'd only scored 3.3 points.
Here are those scores, without the expected Dickeyflation that usually happens every five days:
Rank | Player | Score |
---|---|---|
1 | airgriffey24 | 73.1 |
2 | hypeprospect | 69.9 |
3 | gstatman | 68.1 |
4 | OroscoSchiraldi | 62.8 |
5 | Thomas Wachtel | 56.1 |
I'd love to include the weekly table here, but for some reason I can't get it to load. Everything else on the website looks like it's fine - I had no issues at all setting my team, or doing anything else I needed to do on there - but for reasons that escape me in my lack of computer expertise, I can't get to the weekly scores. Sorry, everyone. Anyway, so here's what I did yesterday to (somehow) get into the top five. Hint: it includes me getting crazy lucky.
Position | Player | Score |
---|---|---|
SP | R.A. Dickey | 3.3 |
C | Jarrod Saltalamacchia | 8.0 |
CI | Mark Trumbo | -3.0 |
MI | Ian Desmond | 10.0 |
OF | Bryce Harper | 33.0 |
RP | Joe Nathan | 4.8 |
I picked Harper at the last second to replace someone (I don't remember who) so I could reduce costs and get a better player at a different position. He hasn't been awesome lately, but evidently he was last night. Two home runs and two walks will get you a ton of points, evidently. So who might I get lucky with today?
Position | Player | Price |
---|---|---|
SP | Josh Johnson | $22.25 |
C | Russell Martin | $4.75 |
CI | Ryan Zimmerman | $27.00 |
MI | Ian Kinsler | $40.50 |
OF | Jason Heyward | $18.25 |
RP | Joe Nathan | $7.25 |
Russell Martin? Russell Martin.
