RE: MLB DFS 5/11: Every Pitcher Sucks
Made a pretty bad error today: put DJ Lemahieu in my Yahoo lineup over Brian Dozier by accident. Well, it wasn't completely by accident. I made it this afternoon without looking at any projections (when Dozier was considered day to day and not 100% to play yet), so when I ran my numbers later that afternoon it looked so similar I never noticed I didn't have Dozier in the lineup cause it was just one player different. I have them projected .8 apart, so it was a reasonably sized mistake, but probably along the lines of 42% DJ outscores, 58% Dozier outscores. Still a little sick to my stomach since Dozier already homered and I clearly preferred him.
I think this is the second time I've done this in the past year, and compared to entering a dead lineup it really wasn't that bad. But still egregious to miss on a low news day when I was twiddling my thumbs the last 15 minutes.
