Welcome to The Lab

🚨 THE LFX LAB IS LIVE. I didn’t build this to be another “expert.” I built it because I was exhausted of opening 6–7 different sites every time I wanted to make one decision. So I created LFX. One single number that actually tells you what a player is worth. 1/6 🧵

Gage Jump has looked awesome over his last 2 and has been steadily rising up boards. This is the type of guy you want to add because of his first start is good, he’s going to be very expensive to get. #Athletics

🚨 Gage Jump gets the call. My #4 Stash Prospect pitcher. He’s got as much potential for this year as anyone not named Kade Anderson, Thomas White, or River Ryan. Add in a few shallows but mostly mediums+ #Athletics

@JB_SteelCity I’m pretty high on chourio in dynasty.

@TheLab_FBB Was offered Basallo, Anderson and McClanahan for Chourio in a dynasty today

I’m curious how many of you that follow me actually roster Kade Anderson…? I know there’s a shallow redraft faction that might not be able to, without an N/A slot. But assuming you’re a slightly deeper league, is he out on your waivers still? #TridentsUp

@fearnloathinyc Yeah you need to be thinking like a month ahead then

@RLink12 Sykora could be so good

@TheLab_FBB Him and the only pitching prospect I personally like better since I’ve seen him in person Travis Sykora

@RLink12 yeah, that's a good place to have him

@TheLab_FBB 🖐️ in a minors spot which I have 2 of as free keepers each year

@Juice61923 I'm feeling the pressure myself in a shallow league I have him. I'm with you, a bit more time still. But it's gotta turn around soon.

@TheLab_FBB Almost seems like a streaming guy would be a better bet given how Jac has played this year so far. I’ll give it a bit more, but he’s not showing much.

Bryce Miller doesn't like the piggybacking setup. He went 5ip with 2er 5h 4k, after Castillo went scoreless 4ip. Still seems to me like they prefer Bryce to get the bigger share of pitches/innings. Castillo was great and they still pulled him after 68 pitches to go to Bryce.

@Juice61923 I mean, the confidence in him continues to go down a little bit each week that he doesn't turn it around. I'm not above letting him go completely. I just wouldn't pick up a flavor-of-the-week add for him. It's gotta be a guy you expect to be on your roster ROS.

@TheLab_FBB I keep rostering Jac following your love for him, but the patience is getting thin.

RE: River Ryan ✍️ I've seen some push back out there from people, saying things like "He's not been promoted yet, so why would I add him?" There is a reason it is called a stash. It is because we want to get ahead of the rush. We add and wait it out, and if you time it right, you get a solid player for free. You just have to know that it could be weeks or days until something happens. Alternatively, you can just keep rostering your worst player. And then try to be *first* in your league to get a guy like River Ryan if he's officially announced as coming up. Sometimes that's hard if you're not on top of the news all day long. It is up to you to interpret how your league responds to these things. If no one ever adds prospects, then why would you?

@RLink12 Yeah, sounds like you’ll be fine

@TheLab_FBB 7/10 h2h cats lingering at .500 but not cuz him. Ton of slow starts that I can’t drop. Bichette, Stowers, Eury, Webb, Seager

James Wood is such a beast 💯 Curious: if you roster him, what place are you in the standings? #Natitude

@Noah_Garcia6 its still wild that he was a fantasy relevant reliever just recently

@TheLab_FBB Three but first start was today

Let’s do an exercise together. If you own Ben Brown, how many of these starts has he been in your lineup for? #Cubs

@clydediesel44 good for you man

@TheLab_FBB All of them

@Andrew_FBB always gotta buy on these guys

I was very aggressive about advocating buying low on Ketel Marte. Last 15 games: .426 / 3 HR / 17 RBI 3 K : 6 BB This was a league winning buy low if you capitalized.

@fearnloathinyc 2nd is a good place to be. still dont have the target on your back like a 1st place team does. makes trading hard

@TheLab_FBB 2nd in 12 team redraft

@Jameis550092732 id drop whoever looks worse at that time

@TheLab_FBB One more question would u drop zebby or tong when Jared jones comes back. Assuming tong doesn’t shit the bed Wednesday

Jacob Misiorowski is just unreal. League winner 🥇

@_ABC2444 haha does he play anyone else in his lineup!

@TheLab_FBB Guy who has him in my league is 9/10

@OEOEohh i was all over him last year too. hes a stud

@TheLab_FBB Real ball knowers had James last year too. Got him at 70

@Noah_Garcia6 still in first is impressive after that deal

@TheLab_FBB Pts league and traded him after the first game for Ray and teo. Somehow still in first🤦🏻‍♂️
