brief fantasy baseball post

anthony reyes is going to give me a freaking heart attack. he lost his first 5 starts, and pitched OK in his last one, but didn't get a decision. i decided to pitch him today, against a mediocre San Diego offense, in a real pitcher's park, and he promptly forgets how to hit the side of a barn with a baseball, throwing 3 walks in the first 2 innings (along with 2 hits, 2 earned runs, and 3 strikeouts). what kills me is that his peripherals are actually really good. assuming normal distributions of everything, he should have like a 3.8 ERA, which isn't great, but it's worth playing, especially since he strikes out almost a batter per inning on average. his projections are all through the roof, but i'll be damned if he isn't actively trying to see how many different ways he can suck before he finally starts pitching well. grrrrrrr.
