On 3/4/2020 at 2:10 PM, meh2 said: I’ve drafted him in most of my leagues thus far. I think he’ll land the everyday centerfielder job, but Almora is having a good spring as well so it’s still complicated. He’ll also likely start the year hitting at the bottom of the order as it sounds like they’ll open with Bryant in leadoff followed by Rizzo, Baez et al. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2ndCitySox 4,442 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Why is he leading off? Seems like a weird spot for the best hitter on your team. Rizzo, while not a typical lead-off man, has a crazy good walk rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rizzo, while not a typical lead-off man, has a crazy good walk rate. Happ’s OBP is .420, easily leading the team. Seems like the perfect spot. Heyward is currently the second best hitter on the team and he’s been awful when leading off. Rizzo is best at 2 or 3. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it just shows that a lot of people aren't putting much stock into what's happening this year. I know I'm not...good, bad, or somewhere in between. I'm excited to be a Happ owner for at least the next three years in one league, but I also understand that this has been one weird season with different players responding in different ways. Hopefully, he can carry this over into 2021, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
papasmurf 999 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 He was good when he came back. He was fantastic from day 1 in the spring. Count me in the believer camp. I guess I just jinxed him with the good ol' smurfin' jinx. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with not overrating a 60 game sample, but if a player performs well and has the pedigree you have to take note. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And he was good last year too. People say there's no sleepers nowadays but people really slept on Happ this year. Everything he's doing is showing he's legit. This isn't just a hot streak. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OaksterDan 206 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 He has a contusion above his right eye after a foul ball ricocheted off the ground into his face yesterday. Yahoo shows him as DTD - I wonder if the Cubs will give him a night off tonight vs Jack Flaherty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He now has almost 1200 at-bats on a 30 hr/10 steal/350 obp/500 slg pace. So that is the bare minimum projection going forward. Even if you assume a bunch of this year is sample-size related you still I think are building up from that base number and that's a pretty valuable OF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd obviously be thrilled if he was back for tomorrow's doubleheader, but we'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bash Bros 741 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 This guy is going to be a 3rd round pick next year. It's more than just a hot streak in a severely shortened season. He's been raking ever since he was recalled last year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
