The Wire Troll: Jose Iglesias Comes Out Raking

/ Baseball, The Wire Troll

Every year it seems the Dodgers find these hurlers that no one has ever heard of, and they wind up providing surprising value at times. Stripling is the latest example, tossing 7 1/3 hitless frames in his big league debut on Friday. The Dodgers’ fifth round pick from 2012 has shown tremendous command in his minor league career, although — ironically — it was spotty in his otherwise sterling big league outing. Having tossed 100 pitches, Stripling was yanked from what could have been a historic debut. He’s just as likely to be throttled in his next outing, so don’t overpay for him, but if you need pitching help, he’s worth grabbing to see how this plays out.

Frazier is solidifying his job on the Pelicans for next season while averaging nearly 15 points, 10 assists, 1.5 treys and two steals over the last five games.

With double-digit points in four of his last five contests, Curry is taking clear advantage of his opportunity to start in Sacramento. His best effort came in a loss to the Heat Friday as he managed 21 points, three assists, two rebounds and a steal. It will be interesting to see what else Curry does while the Kings are shorthanded, as he may just add to the legacy of the “Curry” name in due time.

Klein has been a beast the past few weeks, scoring at an impressive point-per-game pace with two goals, seven points, a plus-7 rating, 11 shots on goal, 14 hits and 14 blocked shots in his last seven games. With just eight goals and 21 points in 61 games, he’s not going to be a consistent offensive defenseman, but you don’t need him to be — just hope and pray he keeps it up over the final two weeks of the season.

Vermette’s overall numbers are far from impressive this season, but he may be the hottest player in the NHL for the month of March. In his last six games, the Stanley Cup champion has five goals, 10 points, a plus-6 rating, six penalty minutes, two power play goals, 13 shots on goal, a hit and three blocks. Vermette’s golden run has caught the attention of many, and has made him the seventh hottest commodity on ESPN’s Fantasy waiver wire.
