Slowey has performed fairly well so far this year. His methods of limiting walks and homeruns is working well and giving him elite command. Both his FIP and his qERA are about the same which are also roughly equal to his ERA so I expect the production to continue.

Yes he has tons of power, yes he’ll continue to play but there is no way that he can keep up hitting almost 39% of his FB for HR. Simply can’t. His BABIP may rise giving him a few more hits but his HR/FB will definitely drop. If you are in a keeper league, I would consider keeping him but for non-keeper leagues you might be able to get a decent haul for him.
