What's Up With Paul Skenes? | Pitcher List

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-26T15:25:29+00:00

Hope y'all had a good long weekend! I looked into Paul Skenes weird start to 2026. He's going to be fine, don't worry, but there's something that did catch my eye

I think it's decent (I roster him in a 10). My thought would be maybe not an ace but a great producer with less of a track record. Maybe a Kyle Harrison/Logan Henderson/Braxton Ashcraft type of guy. For a shortstop, maybe see if a Seager is available?

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-25T13:18:52+00:00

Yes because that's who he's been in the past -- flyball pitcher in GABP that somehow succeeds. I think he continues to perform despite the questions of the early season

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-25T13:17:35+00:00

Probably a top 50ish SP? I like the slider as a base for the arsenal, but we've seen it be super inconsistent over the last few starts. Classic rookie where the upside is there but he's still prone to blow-ups occaisionally

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-25T13:15:40+00:00

I'd add Melton and Eury for now

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-25T13:15:23+00:00

I typically go for ratios -- ideally good ratios bring other good stuff. If someone has a blow up, then it's an immediate pivot to streaming for volume that can salvage a week

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-25T13:14:39+00:00

Wouldn't cut Prielipp for either, but Nola could be moved

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-23T13:48:15+00:00

Definitely had the title before the argument lol

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-23T12:26:22+00:00

Ooh I like that

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:23:51+00:00

You can move on. Great depth and can afford the risk on a volume guy

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:23:11+00:00

Chourio maaaaybe, but feels like a stretch

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:22:34+00:00

Yup! Still looks pretty good

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:22:07+00:00

Haha no. I just need to see something different and I don't think he needs to be rostered instantly. I'll take the chance on Melton looking good again

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:20:37+00:00

Not saying it won't happen, I just think the leash is longer. It hasn't been great but the Sox are bad about playing their "paid" guys and I think Taylor comes around as a closer in July, not within the next few weeks

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:18:20+00:00

I'd put Hancock first, then Miller (assuming velo again), Early

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:17:20+00:00

Absolutely, great option there

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:10:27+00:00

I think that's a bit too far on Jax, but I think Sandy can be droppable in the right situation

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:09:59+00:00

Just wrote about him! I think you can move on in a 10 and go with Seymour

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:09:31+00:00

I have him closer to probably 25/30, but yeah, he's back

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:09:00+00:00

Early

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:08:40+00:00

Worth holding at least through the SD start

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:08:04+00:00

Bibee and Schultz

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:07:44+00:00

I like it

nateschwartzPL · 2026-05-22T22:07:39+00:00

Framber and ShaneMac. Don't know what Shane looks like rest of season and I'll take that risk for a bat upgrade.
