@Hats for Bats, He’s been all over the place this year. I know it’s a small sample, but he’s been much better at home than away, which seems strange.

@Tom Jacks, When he was really stinking it up early, my co-manager was like, this is it. if he craps on us, he’s done. Then he goes out and throws like 11 Ks. I’m feeling a Liriano type of headache coming on.

@LuigiBall, He is walking too many guys, but I wouldn’t outright drop him because I imagine somebody else would offer you something of value for him. Also, if it means anything, he had a much better second half last year.

@Hats for Bats, Yeah in that type of league he isn’t as bad because he’s reduced his strikeouts. In an OPS league though, he still feels done because his extra base power is gone, which hurts his slugging.

I’m so sick & tired of waiting for Matt Latos to show up! I’m so close to booting this guy!I’m actually scared to see him rock for someone else,but I think he’s gone tonight! SIGH

“El Caballo is done” – I’m in a Ks against/OBP 10 team mixed and deep rosters. I find him to be a great stabilizer on my team

@Black Beard, I prefer Escobar.

Do you like Everth Cabrera (just called up) or A. Escobar the rest of the way? Standard 5 + OPS.

@PastaMan, Thanks. I’ll cover at least one of those guys next week.

Pujols and Adam Jones come to mind as far as big names. Allen Craig would be a nice one too.

@PastaMan, Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. Usually I try to get a mix of veterans and younger guys across divisions that stand out to me when I begin to write the article. I’m definitely open to suggestions if you have any…

Really dig these articles. Question: how do you go about selecting which players to highlight?
