Updated PoD Category Chart (8/1)

Hey everyone,

What better way to kick off the post-trade deadline phase of the season than to update our Pitch or Ditch chart.

Pitch or Ditch Category Chart 8-1

A lot more demotions than promotions this time around as there has been a whole lot of lousy pitching of late. Hey, we even sent two guys to Club DTM!

Anyway, here are the changes we’ve made since the last version:

PROMOTIONS

Sheets PoD to grad

McAllister PoD to grad

                                                                                                                                     DEMOTIONS

Beckett ace to grad

Shields ace to grad

Masterson grad to PoD

Worley grad to PoD

Norris grad to PoD

Jimenez PoD to DTM

Nolasco PoD to DTM

                                                                                                                                                           And once again, a reminder as to how the chart works:

We’ve divided all of the current starting rotation pitchers in the Majors into five groups: Aces, Grads (pitchers who should not be dropped and can be started almost all the time), Pitch or Ditch (guys who you should be picking up to start in favorable matchups but do not deserve a regular roster spot), DTMs (guys who we are fed up with and would not start under any circumstances for the time being) and Indifferents (guys who we don’t feel any ill-will towards but who just aren’t that good). Keep in mind that these classifications are very much subject to change throughout the season depending on performance. We’ll be updating the chart every other week. Also, we are basing this on a standard 12-team mixed league.

All comments are welcome!
