Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy Low
Which one MLB player are you trying to buy low and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Alek Manoah (SP – TOR)
“Alek Manoah was always in a position to regress this year — his xERA, FIP, and xFIP were all more than one run higher than his actual ERA in 2022 — but his current pace is so extreme that he is now overextended in the wrong direction. His ERA of 5.40 is easily the highest of his career, and even if he were to end the season at a disappointing 4.00 mark, that would still mean a significantly improved performance for the remainder of the year. It’s likely that fantasy managers aren’t dumping Manoah, but probably hoping for some small return on their initial investment. Someone like Nick Castellanos or Christian Yelich — as long as he is healthy — might get a deal done.”

Spencer Torkelson (1B – DET)
“A player I am very interested in buying low currently is Spencer Torkelson. The former top prospect has disappointed many early on, batting just .238 to begin the season. The first baseman has suffered more from bad luck of late, however, as evidenced by a 47.1% hard hit and 8.4% barrel rate. He should be available at an extreme discount from frustrated fantasy managers and is sure to be very affordable for those willing to gamble on the slugger finally making the right adjustments at the plate.”

Joe Musgrove (SP – SD)
“I am in hot pursuit of Joe Musgrove wherever I can find him. I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but the pitching landscape is a little ugly right now, and Musgrove’s numbers appear to fit right in that group. But his underlying metrics suggest there is improvement on the way. His xERA is 3.95 compared to the real 6.63 he’s carrying around. His BABIP suggests plenty of unlucky hits, and his walk percentage of 9.1 is 2-3 percentage points higher than expected for the rest of the season. He broke his foot on February 28, meaning he has yet to fully adjust to the new rules. I’m willing to roll the dice that he will get there, and I’d love for someone to take a player like Geraldo Perdomo or James Outman for him.”
