Breakdown Michael Lorenzen

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among SP's. Based on his stats from the past 60 days, he is currently ranked 158th.
  • The current leader among SP's is Luis Castillo
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off and he's listed on the injury report. He may have some nagging injuries with his Hamstring (Since Aug 27, 2024). Stay clear of him if its going to stick around, otherwise now is the time to get a guy at a bargain price since he is hurt. Check out his player news.

  • Currently ranked 134th in WHIP with 1.49
  • Top 100 in ERA and is currently ranked 79th
  • Top 50 in walks and is currently ranked 48th with 18

Breakdown Brandon Bielak

    Overview

  • He is eligible to play multiple positions including: P RP . However, he plays P most often.
  • I couldn't find any stats of this player even playing a game in the past 60 days. This is most likely due to an injury or time in the minors.
