We’re continuing to review the Pitcher List Staff Bold Predictions this week, with Nic Gardiner next up as he looks back at his predictions from March.
1. Gregory Polanco ends the year a top 15 hitter
I thought his 2nd half slump in 2016 was going to be an anomaly and he would improve upon his first half numbers in which he hit .287/.361/.506/.867 through the first 92 games. He instead regressed and hit .251/.305/.391/.695 in 2017 with 11 HRs and 8 SB in 108 games. He was nowhere near the top 15 as his production and injuries kept him from contributing any value. He could be a good buy-low candidate in 2018 but only if he falls to me in the late rounds.
WRONG – 0 for 1
What a site. You went 0 for 10. Your buddy Ian went 1 for 10 and had to “cheat” to even get the 1 right.
So, if I want to win my fantasy league, I should do the exact opposite of everything you guys say?
Post your 10 BOLD predictions in the comments starting next season? Come on dude. It’s not the top ten sure bets. Read an ESPN Bold prediction and maybe they hit 3 of ten. I’ll continue to use this site for a fantasy advantage, you can use another site, and hope you read it before the other 7 teams in your league do. Kudos for a little humility guys. Love the site.
Also did you read 6,7,9? Or were you just concerned with green vs red font? Realmuto was still a top 5 catcher and the other two had nothing to do with your fantasy team. I’ll help you out. Draft Trout, Harper, Altuve, Stanton, Judge, Kershaw, Scherzer, Turner, Aronando, Votto, and Jansen next year and you will win your league. That’s free advice from this site. Just like the rest of this.
