Well I think he got it right, What I mean is he is not to impressive the second
year in the bigs. And granted he was not called up for so long this year. But come on
kid if your up last year and you rock, when you get here again you need to rock again
hopefully he can do just that. But for right now he is a bust.

He said he was a fantasy bust, which isn't even really arguable.

Not what I'd call his second year.
Nothing about those stats say bust. make the addition that the guy is 23.
Anyone that cares about fantasy baseball over reality baseball is an idiot.

I think there were 2 main things that set Price up for "bust status" in the eyes of the average fantasy baseball fan.
1) The average fan doesn't understand the difference between bullpen performance and starter performance. When Price came out of the pen last year, it was easy to make a few mistakes and not get shelled. As a starter, by the 3rd inning hitters start making you pay. There was no way he was going to post the same ERA he had out of the pen.
2) The hype was too much to begin with. Price never had the talent to be Dwight Gooden Part II (I saw that comparison on multiple occasions), but he does have the stuff to be a Justin Verlander type, just not right away. Too much hype crushes a lot of prospects early in their careers.
I'd say Price is pitching about like I expected him to. He's lost some confidence at times and is failing to go after hitters when he should, but with time he'll learn to trust his stuff and some of the walks will turn into ground outs, and some of them will turn into strike outs. No biggy, just don't expect too much from young guys. 90% of them have to spend their first 18 months in the majors adjusting before they show their true potential.

"OF -- Michael Taylor, Phillies -- He was so hot in Triple-A our users clamored for him and prompted us to add him to the database"
When did M.Taylor get promoted to AAA? :?

When you make Rickey Romero look like a Greg Maddux , your a failure.
Price's only value is in Fantasy baseball is if your in a AL league only.
