Fantasy baseball: Moving on from a pair of Padres

Some fantasy managers won't hear of it, but it's time to move on from Blake Snell. AP

The San Diego Padres sure seem like legitimate World Series contenders and no big-league team boasts a better ERA. However, two members of their starting rotation continue to frustrate fantasy baseball managers. Left-hander Blake Snell won the AL Cy Young award following the 2018 season, winning 21 games with a 1.89 ERA and an 0.97 WHIP. He struck out many hitters. Right-hander Dinelson Lamet finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting in 2020, armed with a 2.09 ERA, an 0.85 WHIP and many strikeouts. We loved these fellows in fantasy. Today, they are both simply overrated, rostered in too many leagues.
