Max Scherzer is finally starting to post some non-apocalyptic ERA/WHIP results to go along with his thunderous league-leading K totals. A 7 inning / 1 ER / 9 K win against the Pujoless Angels marks his 4th straight start with a Win, 6+ IP, 2 ER or less, and 8+ Ks (this was actually his 8th straight start with 8+ Ks!). His season ERA and WHIP are still north of 4.00/1.30 but he will under those marks in nein time at this rate. I imagine the only thing scarier than facing Mad Max Scherzer right now is imagining him channel his inner Mel Gibson (1980′s crazy, charismatic version) and intimidating the opposition by popping his pitching shoulder in and out of the socket between pitches. Anyway, in other news…
Delmon Young - 5-for-8 over the weekend with 2 doubles and a HR at home against the Angels. Luckily, there are no Jewish panhandlers in Detroit or else he might have re-channeled his inner Mel Gibson (2000′s crazy, Anti-Semitic version)
Albert Pujols - Missed the past four days with a strained calf. The MRI showed no major damage but there is still doubt whether he will be back for the Angels’ next game on Tuesday. Man, I remember when Pujols was younger and his body was so chocked full of stem cells that he could break a finger on a hit by pitch and his knuckle would regenerate by the time he got to first base.
Jason Kipnis - 3 SBs against the Yanks on Sunday which almost doubles his SB count since July 1. He’s hit about .200 during that time with 1 HR. Incidentally, the definition for Kipnis in Moishe’s Yiddish dictionary is “a man who cannot get hits when it gets too hot and he starts to schvitz”.
Freddy Garcia - Here is a riddle. How did starting pitcher Freddy Garcia leave the game with a 3-2 lead in a game his team won 4-2 and still not get a Win? Because he only managed to get through 4 2/3 IP. Nice job, Jabroney!
Ike Davis - 2 HRs to supply all the offense in in a 2-1 Mets win over the Astros. He now has as many HRs after the ASB (12) as he did before it. I like 2nd half Ike more than I like 1st half Ike but I’d like him even more if he didn’t react so violently when offered help by his hitting coach.
Jeremy Hefner - Lost the win and the shutout against the Lastros by giving up a run in the 9th. The Met fans were super disappointed as his Uncle Hugh had offered free party invites at the mansion if he threw a shutout. Hefner’s performance to date has been spotty but he’s worth streaming in the right matchup.
Matt Holliday - 4-for-5 with the Wee Willie Keeler cycle (1B,2B,3B, another 1B) and 4 RBIs. It looks like Holliday has overcome Beltran’s crazy hot start to be the most valuable Cardinal in the Player Rater. While that’s great, Matt, I would not celebrate just yet. I know, it would be so nice. But it’s a long season.
Allen Craig - 3-for-5 with a HR (#20) and 3 RBI. It would be difficult to figure out a way to play Berkman, Craig, and Freese in the same lineup but luckily at least one of them is hurt at all times.
Joe Saunders - Traded by the Diamondbacks to the Orioles. The Diamondbacks are opening up spots for young pitchers while the Orioles can’t bear to watch any more of theirs.
Tim Hudson – Gets the W in a 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, and 3 K start. He’s now 13-4 this year and 194-101 in his career. His K/ERA/WHIP are never exciting but he is the epitome of a solid 4th/5th SP in shallow leagues.
Cliff Lee - Gets the W in a 7 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, and 5 K start. Improves his record to 3-7, finally catching up to the win total of immortal Phillie teammate Raul Valdes who has pitched 29 IP to Lee’s 161.
Nate Jones - The most valuable fantasy pitcher over the weekend as he got Wins on both days for the White Sox. He is 7-0 on the season despite 1.53 WHIP in 50 IP. Jose Quintana has 5 Wins for the White Sox despite 110 IP with a 1.19 WHIP. And that concludes the “Whining about the number of Wins that pitchers on 1+ of our teams have”.
Joey Votto – Hoping to return next weekend after a small rehab assignment. Hopefully the rehab goes better than that of his sister Demila.
Jose Bautista - Two days back and he is returning to the DL with wrist inflammation. Based on this video, an inflamed wrist seems cool but probably does not mix well with a wooden bat. Doubt we will see Joey Bats again this year. So good news, Moise Sierra fan!
Brandon Morrow - Back after 2 1/2 months on the DL and, unlike Bautista, managed not to go back on the DL after his start. He had 7 Ks on Sunday but was only able to get through 4 2/3 IP. The big number was that he only threw 1 BB. If his BBs are in order, Morrow is a must own in all leagues.
Mark Rogers - Went 5 shutout innings for the win against the Pirates and managed to throw 101 pitches despite only 3 hits and 3 walks. Nice foul balls, Pittsburgh! He is fine to stay away from outside of the easiest of streams.
Carlos Gomez - The lesser CarGo went for the slam with the double side of legs. I haven’t paid too much attention to Milwaukee this year (do not own anyone on it) but is anyone else shocked he has 13 HRs and 26 SBs this year in less than 300 ABs? If you are desperate for SBs, he is worth a try.
Erik Bedard - Crapped the bed (4 2/3, 6 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks) in what seemed like an attractive stream given Milwaukee’s road hitting challenges and the charmed home splits of seemingly every Pirate pitcher (Bedard’s home/road ERA split going into the game was 3.26/6.98). I think I liked him better when he was mostly good and seldom healthy vs. mostly healthy and seldom good.
MaLoney - Yeah, that’s my made-up name for Adrian Gonzalez’s replacements – Mauro Gomez and James Loney. They each got a start over the weekend with Gomez having the much better game (4-for-6, HR, 3 RBI). I would not be surprised to see the Sawx give Gomez an extended shot and potentially DFA Loney. Loney had such potential – if only he had a coach in LA that understood the challenges of playing 1B on a major market team.
Jason Heyward - HR’d in all three games @SF which is a notoriously tough place for lefties to hit HRs unless you are on steroids. Heyward is now at 24/19 for the year and making his way into the top 30 on the Player Rater. I don’t think he will ever steal more than 15 SBs in a season again but it wouldn’t shock me if he hit 35+ HRs next year.
Chris Volstad - LOWERED his ERA to 6.28 in 6 2/3 shutout innings at home against the Rockies. Think injuries and apathy are causing the Rockies to pack it in. Look at this lineup: 1. Blackmon, 2. LeMahieu, 3. Pacheco, 4. CarGo, 5. Rosario, 6. Colvin, 7. Nelson, 8. Herrera, 9. Chacin. Even Ron Gardenhire would have a tough time getting that many utility players into a lineup.
Alex Gordon - A 4 RBI game while managing to avoid hitting a HR. He has managed to maintain last year’s AVG/OBP gains (.299/.366) but lost the power (9 HRs). He is finally living up to the expectations the Royals had for Mark Teahen.
Adrian Gonzalez - Hit a 3-run HR in his first AB as a Dodger. He is instantly Sylvester Stallone’s favorite Dodger hitter since Mickey ”Piss Lightning and Crap Thunder’ Hatcher.
Alfredo Aceves - Received a 3 game suspension from the Red Sox for a verbal altercation with Bobby Valentine. It probably started with some frustration over Andrew Bailey (pick him up if you need saves!) getting the latest save opportunity but Aceves crossed the line when the Mexican-born pitcher made a snide comment that his people invented the wrap before Bobby Valentine. ”When was the last time someone served cold cuts in a burrito, Alfredo? Answer me that one, muchacho.”
Is it time to drop Plouffe? I have 1 move remaining for the year, and I was planning on dropping him and adding Michael Young. Any reason I shouldn’t? Dude is killing me last two weeks…..
@AP, I’m not going to convince you otherwise. I think Plouffe’s run in the middle of the season was a fluke. It was like he was a fantasy scrub and then ‘Plouffe!’ he’s a HR hitter.
@Rudy Gamble, just pulled the trigger……thx. I am all in!
rudy’s doing the rundown today?
missed you on the podcast, amigo
rudy!rudy!rudy!
@later tater, thanks. yeah, grey is visiting family so i’m jumping in. tomorrow’s podcast will be me w/ the ‘ol’ prospector’ Scott Evans discussing top prospects.
Weekly H2H, Kyle Seager or Manny Machado at 3B this week?
Thanks!
@Schizer, Definitely Seager.
I’m terrified to start Burnett against the Cards today, but the Stream-o-nator rates him a roughly average play. I don’t need a gem, just a QS. You think he’s up to it? My playoff hopes have been shattered by the Cardinals offense teeing off on one of my pitchers many times before…
@Alpine McGregor, The game is @PIT which has beengreat for pitchers all year. If this was @STL, I wouldn’t start Burnett. STL is one of the tougher draws but, remember, that their two best hitters right now are RH so Burnett is in a better position to succeed than Bedard was on Sunday.
@Rudy Gamble, Much obliged.
Playoff time in my H2H and I can’t decide between (pick 2):
2 start Burnett
2 start Capuano
2 start Beckett
1 start Wainwright
tx
@fri-guy, Capuano and Beckett pitch @COL in one start and home vs. ARI at the other one. Even with COL’s depleted offense, not sure I want any of that. Burnett has a tough home start vs. STL and then @MIL which has been tough. Wainwright @WAS up against Gio.
Tough call. I’d go with Wainwright because he’s been pitching so well. If you’re going for volume, I’d go with Beckett as I think the league/team switch might get him going.
@Rudy Gamble, i get to pick 2…what worried me about wainwright was that he left early yesterday, but he’s been a monster lately.
i’m leaning toward wainwright and beckett. i also have jansen as my closer for the win/save possibility.
thanks!
Who would you rather have ROS? Hardy or Machado
@Matt, Hardy. He hits higher in the order so better R/RBI.
great line about Gadrdy and Utility players. Totally cracked me up!
@MrMojoRisin, Thanks!
Hey Rudy,
Suicide to start Beckett today?
@Eddy,
Also, is Shelby Miller a must add if called up (like STL is thinking about doing)?
@Eddy, @COL is always suicide unless you’re talking about a top 1/2 starter. I think Beckett will rebound in LA but not willing to try him in COL (he is prone to the gopher ball too…)
Question: Is Lester worth hanging on to? Been pitching better of late, but possible trade and hammy injury, have given me fits. I REALLY need pitching in a deep league heading into the playoffs and there aren’t that many warm bodies available. Cobb is available as well as Arroyo, but both are inconsistent and scary. Thanks
@fyke62, Yes, Lester is worth hanging on to. If he ends up on DL, then cut him.
@Rudy Gamble,
THANKS!
Only one WW Pickup left for me this week. I could use SP but Zobrist is a FA and Alexei is my SS.
Who to snake? (12 team std 5×5 h2h)
Zobrist
Kyle Kendrick
JA Happ
Thanks!
@phorts, Zobrist isn’t much of an upgrade for Alexei but those are also some awful SP options. Go with Zobrist unless Kendrick or Happ have an amazing matchup in the next week or two…
SON is showing no love for my pitchers this week. Which 3 should I start this week:
Marcum (SON 103) @ Cubbies
Peavy (98???) @ Balt
Westbrook @ Pitt (103) and @ Wash (not yet scored)
Darvish (104) vs TB
Minor (not yet scored) vs Philly
Samrdijizdijiza (102) vs Brewers
I need K’s and W’s most of all. I have a shaky lead in ERA and I’m all set with WHIP.
Thanks dude.
@L-Boogie, Samrd…ja, Peavy, Darvish, Minor, Marcum, Westrbook
Marcum would be marked higher but his start is a day game @ Wrigley. Those make me nervous…
@Rudy Gamble, So Marcum’s day game at Wrigley scares you more than Darvish’s summer game in Arlington?
@L-Boogie, Yeah, home starts scare me less than road starts. Marcum is going to be eating deep dish pizza the night before while Darvish will be at home eating his sashimi.
@Rudy Gamble, You’re right. Forget park factor. Hodgepadre success is due to all the fresh, local seafood.
I think you need to add a pre-game dinner factor to the SON. CC stating in KC? -10 points after all you can eat rib buffet.
Good morning, Rudy…nice writeup.
What are your thoughts on Casey Kelly making his first start for the Padres (in Petco) against the Braves? I’m looking for a capable streamer to replace Lance Lynn (now in the ‘pen). The SON is giving Estrada a 108 @ Wrigley today, while the Hodgepadre gets a 101. I’m assuming a lot of that has to do with Kelly’s lack of available stats, and perhaps also his capability to roofie. Interested to get your opinion.
Thanks!
@Chillmodious, I like Kelly today and thought about gambling on him. I’d consider him vs. Estrada more of a coin flip…
@Rudy Gamble, Pray tell, who won the coin toss when you flipped? (it’s that close for me also, so I’m willing to let your coin flip overrule mine)
@Chillmodious, Estrada. SoN wins all coin flips.
@Rudy Gamble, Hey Rudy – I posted this in the comments in Grey’s By/Sell, but thought you might like to see it…
OK, SON doesn’t always nail it, but look at what I got last week in H2H from following the SON (a couple of them, the SON wasn’t real hot on, but it still helps you pick one pitcher over another…)
Millwood – 0 Ks 4.50 ERA 1.33 WHIP – ND
Kendrick – 3 Ks 2.70 ERA 0.90 WHIP – Win
Estrada – 9 Ks 0.00 ERA 0.50 WHIP – Win
Cobb – 8 Ks 0.00 ERA 0.67 WHIP – Win
Karstens 4 Ks 0.00 ERA 1.00 WHIP – Win
Hefner 7 Ks 1.12 ERA 0.75 WHIP – ND
Not too shabby. Even with Belisle, Aceves, Erv Santana (selected using the ‘Steve-O-Nator’) and J-Zimm doing their worst, I had an ERA for the week of 2.96 and a WHIP of 1.11.
Good work, Stream-O-Nator!
Can you rank Eovaldi, Turner, Corbin, Stults, and Chacin in NL-only? Does the order change at all in a keeper league?
@Rags, I don’t think any of these guys are worth keeping so order isn’t affected by that. At this time of year, it’s worth looking at the schedules to see who has the most attractive matchups. Not looking at the schedules, I like Corbin and Stults because they’ll probably have at least 2 weeks’ worth of solid matchups.
Weekly H2H league. WOuld you use Norris as a SP this week? He has 2 home starts (SF, CIN) and his home ERA is almost 5 runs lower than road (2.18 vs 7.27).
Other options are:
Skaggs (CIN, @LAD)
Mendoza (DET, MIN)
Harvey (@PHL) – only 1 start
Lincecum (@chc) – only 1 start
@FilthyRich, Hard to imagine Norris winning either of those two games but will be helpful on K’s. I like Skaggs the best of the two start pitchers and Lincecum better than Harvey.
Which two do I choose? Colvin, Chris Young, David Murphy, Mitch Moreland. Thanks!
@Allen, For ROS? I guess Murphy and Moreland.
Playoff time gentlemen,
Please pick 3 of the next 5 to start this week, points H2H
Westbrook (@pit, @was)
Milone (BOS, @cle)
Iwakuma (LAA, @min)
Lincecum (@chi)
Vogelsong (@hou)
Thank you friends….
@BASH, Vogelsong, Lincecum, and Milone.
vogelsong, lincecum, and milone
Rudy,
In bottom of the barrel scraping terms, do I start Mark Reynolds or Kyle Seager this week at 3b? Can’t figure out if Reynolds is already done after his two good weeks. Thanks.
@Crumpy, i prefer seager.
Lucroy or S. Perez ROS
@Deadwoods, Perez
That kid has got the hot hand….what ever happened to the razzball app?
@Jack Full of Hate, ha (re: the inflamed wrist guy). not sure on the app – grey would know…
@Rudy Gamble, Grey, “I like apps but prefer entrees.”
Hey Rudy. Great Write Up.
Stream O Nator is fantastic.
My head to head playoffs start next week. What sites/articles/methods can help me determine the best 2 start waiver pitchers for next week. (I want to do this before Friday because my leaguemates will have a good chance of taking the cream of the crop once the next week articles start appearing.)
Thanks
@Justin, Thanks. I’ve never seen anyone publish probable starters more than 7 days in advance. perhaps look at all pitchers due to pitch 3-4 days before your weekly league start (so Tues/Wed if ur league is Sun-Sat) and then check their team’s schedules for next week?
Rudy- got a huge matchup this week with 2nd place and need your advice.
Pick one – Parker (@CLE), Stults (ATL), McAllister (OAK). Stream-o’s sayin Stults.
Rank Frazier, Ludwick, C Davis, Ruggiano for next 1-2 weeks.
Thanks man!
@kaiser soze, i like mcallister or stults – mcallister for a few more k’s, stults for ratios. i prefer ludwick and davis. votto back next wknd and frazier will lose playing time. ruggiano due to regress.
Sorry, one more for ya Rudy:
Casey Kelly (vs. Atl) or Skaggs (vs. Cin) today? SON is showing Skaggs no love, and I was already one foot in with the rookie hodgepadre…so, who gets your nod today? Thanks again.
@Chillmodious, neither has much in track record. kelly wins b/c of petco.
PEG BOY ALERT: Royals just recalled Vin Mazzaro. Ahoy!
Loosen your anus, boys….
I really fear @TEX in August. Would you sit Price tonight?
I wouldn’t sit Price anywhere…
Are you still hanging onto Straily if you have room? I have a P spot available in a holds points league and could add a solid setup man if I dropped him. When do you think he comes back, if at all?
thanks Rudy
I’d hold him for a few more days…
Any word on Ortiz? Is he done-zo for the year?
He sounds it…
I want to drop one of these pitchers to take a flier on Ciriaco. Which, if any, would you drop?
Medlen, Niese, McCarthy, Vargas, Anderson, Samardzija (Holding onto Dickey, Scherzer, Marcum) Thanks
Niese
We starting Skaggs tonight at home against Cincy? 10 team H2H league
Not in a 10 team league…
@Grey, Gagnam style!
I’m doing Gangnam style with a fleet of imaginary Clydesdales…
@Grey, As seen on CNN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz95ahmCEGQ&feature=related
Why isn’t that reporter on an imaginary horse?
@Grey, Maybe she left it in the sauna.
And why does he have the towel wrapped girl-style around his chest?
I don’t know, but that’s in the lead for my Halloween costume this year…
@Grey, Nice! I’m in StL so I have very easy access to imaginary Clydesdales
There ya go!
@Grey, It is spreading…
http://www.smh.com.au/national/the-diary/hit-video-may-have-a-subversive-message-20120827-24wkd.html
Yeah, heard that there was a deep-underlying message…. I think it’s similar to saying Baby Got Back is a statement on booty obesity…
But it is awesome!
@Grey, Undeniable. I actually had no idea what you guys were on about until I Googled.
I did see the video when the link was originally posted, but then forgot about it. Aside from the cute girls…
How could you forget about it? I kinda wish I could… No, I don’t!…Yes, actually, I do… But I can’t…
@Grey, Eh, I didn’t watch it all the way through the first time.
Now are you glad you did or wish you still haven’t?
@Grey, Oh, I’m glad I did. There’s some exuberance there you just don’t see every day.
I got my whole family doing the imaginary horse dance… I can’t get it out of my head…
@Grey, Are you still with the fam? In the East?
Yeah, I fly back tomorrow to LA…
@Grey, Nice. Special occasion or just a routine visit?
My parents are shifting out of a house today they’ve lived in for over 20 years. I lived there too. Will be strange to not go back there anymore.
Kids will miss the pool too…
Grandfather turned 85… Yeah, that’s gotta be weird… Will they be moving closer to you?
@Grey, Nice! No – in fact they’re moving pretty much just up the road from where they are now.
Leasing an apartment for a year until they buy something permanent.
Fortunately, the complex has a pool (emoticon)
They’re only about a 25 min drive from me anyway.
Why they moving? Downsizing?
@Grey, Yeah. Was also an opportune time to free up some cash. They want a place with fewer stairs too!
Gotcha… My grandfather falls down stairs about twice a year… He’s gotta so good, he just rolls out of into split…
which 2 to stream this week?
McAllister v OAK
Darvish v TB
Iwakuma @ MIN
Fister v CWS
Stultz v ATL
McA and Stultz have most SON love, but i am wondering why is Iwakuma is below 100, his last few have been excellent and hes got crappy Min this week
McAllister, Iwakuma…
One more please…
I dropped Niese as you advised, but in his place I had to activate Marcum, who I stashed over the weekend on the DL.
Still want to take a flier on Ciriaco. Which SPwould you drop, if anyone?
Medlen, McCarthy, Vargas, Anderson, Samardzija, Harvey (Holding onto Dickey, Scherzer, Marcum) Thanks
Anderson
EMERGENCY ADVICE NEEDED: With Pujols dinged up and Papi back on the DL, who do you like better as a 1B replacement: Eric Hosmer or Mitch Moreland?
Thank you in advance. Unless your advice is wrong. In which case, curse you in advance.
Moreland… Ha…
I play in a 10-team H2H Keeper league where we lock rosters when playoffs start, so i’m trying to get rid of all my young pitchers who might get shut down towards the end of the season. We also have 28 man rosters so not much on the wire for pitching.
Would you drop Fiers for Stults?
I haven’t heard anything, but do you think Patrick Corbin gets shut down?
Sure, go with Stults, can’t imagine he’s the best SP available in a ten team league though… Corbin will probably miss a turn or two…
@Grey, the format is a bit strange: C 1B 2B 3B SS LF CF RF UTIL UTIL SP SP RP RP P P P P P P and TWELVE bench spots: each team has at the most 3 bench bats (I have one), I have 5 closers and 12 SP’s hence no quality arms on the wire…
@beardcrabs, Ah, gotcha… Okay, then lose Fiers for him…
Any news on estimated return dates for Tulo or Lawrie? I’m hoping they might be back for playoffs starting a week from today… but even if they are who knows how good they’ll be… any thoughts, Grey or Rudy?
Maybe in ten days for Tulo… Lawrie’s maybe two weeks away…
I traded for Rollins, so I have a mental block about dropping him outright, but is it crazy to think Ciriaco will outperform him the rest of the year?
It’s not crazy at all…
@Grey
So you think Lawrie will be back in 2 weeks? Right now I have Frazier as my primary 3B but with Votto due back in a week, I’m expecting him to lose playing time. Luckily, I’m in second place so I get a bye week the first week of the playoffs so hypothetically I can transition from Frazier to Lawrie seamlessly. With this in mind, does it make sense to hold onto Lawrie? The rest of the WW mess is underwhelming: Ciriaco, M. Young, Alvarez, Moustakas, Chipper, Johnson.
Thanks!
Yeah, I’d hold Lawrie for now… You’ll be able to change it up next week if you need to, right?
@Grey,
Yeah no move limit and rosters don’t lock. Bye is next week so I can wait and see how the status of Lawrie and Frazier change. If Frazier loses massive amount of playing time and Lawrie is shut down, I’m screwed. I still don’t get Dusty. He says Frazier’s time isn’t right now yet right now may be their best chance to win it all and their best 3B is going to be riding the bench in favor of Rolen. Is it wrong for me to wish an injury upon Rolen? I think it makes me a bad person.
I think Rolen’s at a 75% chance of injury every day, whether you wish it or not…
Longo. Deepo.
Yeah-o!
@Grey, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji-cT58rgNc
Nice!
@royce!, I see your Hi-yo and raise you a Hey, Now!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D89eOYo0kpw
@Steve, I miss that show, BTW. What a beauty.
@Steve, Yeah, brilliant. I also say “hey” and “now” once in a while.
Grey/Rudy,
Need a 1B since Teix apparently suffered a foot injury.
Colvin, Ike Davis, Hosmer
It’s a 12-team OBP
@Eddy, Saw Colvin launch a homer, picked him up.
Okay, cool…
Colvin
10 team league, OBP instead of AVG, who you like RoS?
Goldy
Pagan
Swisher
Goldy
Colvin!
Pity I didn’t have enough pickups left to grab him for today. Hope he keeps it up though…
Yeah, me too…
Holy Beltre.
Hey Grey – should I drop Ortiz for Lind in my 14-team h2h? I’m guaranteed a playoff spot, so I don’t need Ortiz for now. I could also lose Cuddyer.
@royce!, Could also lose Wil Myers, whom I picked up with the hope that Frenchy got dealt.
Could lose Myers too… I’d lose Cuddyer first…
I’d lose Cuddyer… But think you could lose both…
Adam. Jones. is. killing. me. Argh!
Yeah, I hear ya…
Nate McLouth?
Jesus.
Yeah, seriously…
Man, Estrada has some decent numbers, but he puts an awful lot of strain on the worst bullpen in baseball…
Yup, if he could go 8 innings, he’d be insane…
@Grey, Might have to temporarily exclude Loe from that grand pronouncement.
He’s just making it close so Axford can blow it…
@Grey, Shhhhhh! I need this win in the RCL.
I could use the save, so I’m all for it…
@Grey, Well, one of us will be happy. Hinshaw owners, not so much.
Yeah, I have A-Ram so it eases the loss of the save a little…
@Grey, Yeah. As per the below, kinda wish I still had him…
I hear ya… Not sure who you traded him for though…
@Grey, Greinke. In the ol’ H2H. Had Longo coming back and already had Bruce at Util.
Ah, yeah… Well, Greinke could be doing better, that’s for sure…
@Grey, Indeed. Hopefully that outing against the Tigers is a sign of things to come.
Yeah, he’s a top 15 starter with possibility for top 5 for a month…
Hmmmm. Maybe I was a little too quick to let A-Ram go…
14 team, non-keeper.
Is McAllister an add over any of the following:
Milone / Garcia / Skaggs / Minor / Ciriaco
Or just hold?
Thanks.
Over Ciriaco if he’s on the bench… Otherwise, over Milone…
