Biggest Live Card Roller Coaster Ride?

<Pion> · 07-29-2019, 04:54 PM

As I was looking at Treinen (a one way ticket down) and Gary Sanchez (up to diamond and back down), I wondered who some of the big up down swings have been. My first curiosity would be guys that tanked but then recovered, but it would be interesting to know those that peaked and then leveled back out as well. Any you know of that might be the biggest "overall rating" swings (not just ones that went from high 90's to 100's and back, but big swings). Or have there not been any that have gone up and come down say something in the double digits?

Chris Paddock hit 90 earlier this season. Last I saw he was back in the high 70s. Edwin Diaz started at either 94 or 96 and is now low 70s.

Jeremy Jeffress...started at a 82, dropped all the way to the mid 60s, last week was back up to 70 just to drop back to 62 this week.

Forgot about Paddock and had him on a team. Sold a card or two of his while he was high, but held onto one of them only to see it tank.

Aaron Nola started diamond, think he's a 71 right now

CrazyWR · 07-30-2019, 08:13 AM

Victor Robles was a 96 at one point, think he's down to an 88 or so, but he started at like 84 I believe

Charlatan · 07-30-2019, 11:00 AM

Khris Davis was an 82 at one point I think (he definitely was an 81). I noticed this morning he's now a 67.

Jose Ramirez started as perfect, dropped to 82 and now is back at 88.

Jose Ramirez went from 100 down to an 82 and back up to an 88. Probably the highest rated guy initially who has regained a decent amount of value.

Using some excel tricks and the sheet I've been tracking, I believe the winner to this point would be Steven Brault, who started as a 71, went down as low as a 43, and then has risen back up to a 69.

Lou Trivino has gone 75 --> 84 --> 62. Treinen and Diaz have both been in tailspins going from mid 90s down to 64/70.

An honourable mention to Matt Barnes on the flipside, who spent one week as an 81, one week as a 68, and the rest of the time has been bouncing between 71 and 78. He jumps around by a few points every week without really moving. Trent Thornton is another guy like that too - between 59 and 68 every week, but when he moves, he moves basically between those ranges without stopping in the middle.

Jeurys Familia has been the the guy who has dropped the most without ever regaining value (Treinen went 94->96 the first week). Tatis Jr. is the guy who has risen the most without ever losing a point.

Shane Bieber is 88 this week. Think he started around low gold, and went down into silver for a while.

I believe Lance Lynn deserves a bit of recognition for rising to 87 from an initial rating of 64 (though this may not strictly meet the definition of roller coaster that this thread is looking for)

yno88 · 07-30-2019, 08:00 PM

Trevor Bauer? I can't believe Mike Minor didn't rise more. Maybe because of his age?

daves · 07-30-2019, 10:18 PM

There are players with big gains like Bellinger and big loses like Treinen, but roller coaster, I agree that is Sanchez. Springer has been a roller coaster as well. I had to sell them when they were diamonds since they would become Gold next week.

Minor would have gained a lot more if they updated his stamina to reflect his production instead of leaving it static.

Will the Live cards ever get updates to stamina, defense, base running, and the like, or will these cards be tied to their preseason projections all year?

Ian Kennedy started at a 60, and he's up to a 75 atm for a +15 gain. Another riser is Tatis Jr. who is up to perfect at a +16 gain.

Will Smith was up to the mid 90's before this week and is now an 82. Relievers tend to have the biggest swings IMO.
