He's having the quietest monster start to a season ever.


Im pretty sure he's a must start fantasy OF, yet you barely hear people talking about him.


That is until he gets hurt at least.

Until he starts hitting home runs. If Cain had 3 or 4 HR on the year, he'd be talked about everywhere.

Probably because most people had him stashed on the bench.

I know i had him on bench early on. Of late, i recognized he's had good start - and that he won't kill me in OBP cat either, but still not in my lineup everyday. I hate having too many hitters in my team and having to decide sit/start every day.

I've only logged these stats off Cain : 10/40 6R 0HR 5RBI 1SB .340OBP and .350SLG

in my main league, the first place guy has Cain
in my second league, I'm in first place and have Cain (playing all the time mind you)

therefore, the algorithm is

Owner: L. Cain
Owner = Win
2013 Yahoo Fantasy Roto, had 13/13 pick R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OPS, 1200IP limit; W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, QS    C-McCann/Gattis 1B-Freeman 2B-Uggla 3B-Reynolds SS-Andrus LF-Harper CF-Kemp RF-Bruce OF-Heyward Util-Crisp Bench: Rutledge/Belt/Espinosa/K Johnson
SP- Kershaw, Cain,Ryu (Bathtub Jin), Tillman,  RP- Parnell, Perkins, Veras, Gregerson, Henderson, Reynolds DL- Eaton and Putz

Carlos Gomez, Lohse, Voggelsong, Boggs -  Heyward, Coco Crisp  (days before Gomez exploded..) Seager, Ozuna - Rutledge, Parnell (lost Putz, had to get another closer)

The only thing that sucks is that he's relegated to 5th or 6th on the days Dyson plays (and that's most days) so that really hinders the SB's.

Why would it hinder his SB's? If he gets a base hit or a walk batting 6th he will attempt to steal.

I should have specified the algorithm applies only to Roto leagues.
