Youks is killing me. Painful death.

Set weekly lineups Sunday night for entire week.

Is it worth starting Todd Helton or Mat Gamel next week? Also have Trumbo buried on bench.

Looks like Helton heating up & Gamel starting to hit...

Gamel

Yeah, Youk is toughin it out for sure. Not sure what's up with him. He just cant seem to catch up to fastballs right now which is what he feasts off of. He always works pitch counts and fouls a lot of balls off, but he's not squarin up. I'd sit Youk this week and see if he he starts drawing more walks, which will let you know he's getting his eye back.

careful though, when Youk finds his stroke he goes on streaky tears, which is dangerous for weekly lineups. So i'd wait for the tear to come and deal (it's a matter of when). Obvioulsy his trade value is low at the moment...

I agree - just want to put him away for awhile. He'll come back around in a few weeks. Helton looked great last week too. Big fan.

Sounds like Bobby V thinks he stinks this year too...
