You never stop learning. Ever. The baseball season is a long race and while you think you may know what a player is or what you can expect, you have to keep checking in on trends to make sure you didn't miss a zig when you been watching them zag all season.
Today's J.D. Martinez is tomorrow's Ryan Zimmerman. You may disregard a player like Brandon Moss, but if you are watching his power metrics and hard contact rate holding at an above average rate, you may just roster him in a tournament and watch him go deep with pride, as he did Thursday night.
Stay vigilant. Players returning from injury, like Stephen Strasburg, may have tightened up something that they weren't getting right pre-injury. For Stras, it's his curveball that he's found that has jumped his swinging strike rate from 7-8% pre-injury, to 13 percent over his last several starts.
David Wright is a has-been who can't be counted on anymore. *You check the numbers, find out he's raking* Welp.
Making this part of the routine makes the DFS season fun and takes advantage of fish who have taken their eyes off baseball right now to bone up for the NFL season. Reel them in and cash on them -- it's what David Wright would want you to do.
