Dropping Madison Bumgarner was a terrible mistake


I like learning new things. For instance, today I learned that I made a terrible mistake putting Madison Bumgarner on waivers.

Dropped: Madison Bumgarner

Well at least I think I did.

When I drafted him in the third round I didn’t know he was injured (I learned that was something I should check first too). On further inspection he was out until at least mid-May.

What to do?

Given that I’ve learned never to trust a single thing a team manager says, I figured that could easily mean June.

Then he’d need to find his groove again, wouldn’t he? I mean, you don’t just march back to the mound and pick up where you left off (in 2016).

That seemed too long. So I put him on waivers.

He was picked up immediately.

That was wrong, right?
