Brad Peacock has been pretty bad in AAA. Pomeranz has been effective but inefficient…

Will stick with May then. 2 other guys im slightly worried about on my farm (my prospect roster is weak aside from Hultz and Olt) are Franklin and Peacock, both doing pretty poorly especially Peacock, many worries there?

One other thing, hearing people say they are lesser on Hultzens upside now, only profiling him as a 3 or even 4 (uh?) starter. Sure he should reach that point very quickly, but would you agree with that future value? When I took him in my prospect draft keeper this year was hoping/expecting a future no2 pitcher.

For the sake of excitement & rooting interest, I’d throw him. And for the fact that you’ll hate yourself if he dominates. And if he happens to get rocked, you can sleep soundly knowing an owner in every league feels your pain.

May’s stuff is still there — sitting 93-95 in his last start. Not seeing anything on those leader boards that I’d swap him out for.

Baseball needs more minds like this — more Dickeys, McCarthys, etc. He’s certainly a fascinating dude, and he has an answer for just about everything. Bauer’s reasoning re the walks seems sound, but results speak much louder & I’d be more interested to hear how Kevin Towers views the issue. Thanks for the link, btw. Good stuff.

Thursday at home, gonna be pretty crazy hype, hopefully the start of Lincecum 2.0. Would you start him first time out? Normally id play it safe but its a 16 team H2H league im in, so might just throw him out there.

Added May for Monty btw. Though not that impressed with May’s numbers either so was wondering is it worth checking out the stats leaders at AAA/AA and maybe going with someone from that list? Did it before with Peacock and Altuve, but it’s not a guarantee obviously as you’re going with stats over skills.

I am going to do everything I can do to get this guy on every roster I have. The next Greg Maddux?

Read this.

and then get back to me on the walks, in particular.

His mid 2 ERA? His 46 K’s in 46 IP? His 1 start out of 9 that’s he’s given up more than 3 ER? Sure he has 20 BB’s, but 10 of those came in back to back starts where he lost his rhythm. Only 10 BB’s in his other 7 starts…

Lets hope he’s up for thursdays start! Hultzy and Bauer would make nice end rotation fill-ins in a 16 teamer from here on out. :)

I lost out on bauer 2 weeks ago so i grabbed hultzen. Then a few days ago bauer was dropped so i claimed him to. Now im stashing both bauer and hultzen with borh DL spots filled and hellickson DL’d just floatin on my roster.. im in a 10 teamer so this could possibly bite my ass soon.. but i cant drop either cuz i know they will get swooped up asap. My rotation looks bleak but i think i can pull it off. Wat do you think scott? Is this a complete lame move or not that bad? Im in 4th with most points in a competitive league. My hittin has really carried me lately so im not that worried but if my hitting slows, i dont have alot of pitching to vack it up.

May not have to make my decision for a couple weeks so I’ll keep digging into it. I still think Cole’s likely earlier arrival in ’13 than Walker gives him the edge, so I might just wait to draft Walker next March. (We get one minors slot and are allowed one “dynasty keeper” — I’m hoping that’s Bauer but I want a backup in case of injury.)

The most attractive thing about him, though, is that his floor is probably that of a #3. He’ll be a valuable fantasy asset one way or another. That said, I like the upside of Walker & Bundy more… especially Walker. I’d probably look to add him to your fantasy farm over Cole.

In terms of projected fantasy value for 2013 + 2014, is Cole a better bet than guys like Bundy, Walker, Taillon, Odorizzi, S.Miller, etc? I need somebody for my Minors slot after Bauer comes up…

Sometimes we’re blinded by the hype & we look right past established guys who can be of more help. However, the upside on Bauer is too big to ignore. I’d stash him if you have the flexibility. Here’s a quick projection on Bauer: 4.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 9 K/9

But I can’t write about him every week. Actually, I can, but I choose not to… out of principle. Or something. Anyway, he’s past his service time cutoff now, so the Cubs can feel free to call him up without sacrificing a year of team control. He’ll be up soon.

Cole got the W in his first start at AA. 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 6 K. Nice high-minors debut, I’d say.

Im wondering if I should try and make space for both of them, it’s a 16 teamer H2H and I could use more pitching.

I guess my question is, without wanting to go into too much detail about my team, how good do you expect Bauer to be this year (projection on numbers)? As it’s a pretty deep league I think he’ll be valuable even if he struggles a little on arrival, it’s just trying to figure out whether they’ll be more useful to me than some of my other guys.

Though I guess if he is up now I have to add him right?
