Cueto for Cuddyer would've been fine I think.

Middlebrooks is worth more than zero, though, so you should've gotten something else back as well.

well, part of the 2 for 1 is that i needed to release someone to make room to bring Sandoval back off the DL. I honestly like my pay team alot and Middlebrooks was the guy i was going to have to drop more than likely. I have two more tough decision as Tulo & Fister are coming off the DL likely next week. Who would you drop to get in Tulo & Fister? I'm thinking Liriano and I guess Delmon Young. I need RBI & HR's badly so losing Young's middle of the order bat in DET hurts. Campana is the next choice but the kids speed is sick and him and Gordan have gotten me caught up with a pack where 4 or so points are at stake.

C-Buster Posey

CI(lg. starts 3) - Kendry Morales / Adrian Beltre / Ryan Zimmerman / Pablo Sandoval

MI (lg. starts 3) - Ian Kinsler / Dee Gordan / Trevor Plouffe / Michael Cuddyer

OF(lg. starts 4) - Michael Saunders / Angel Pagan / Delmon Young / Carlos Quentin / Jason Heyward / Tony Campana

UTIL(lg. starts 1) - David Ortiz

SP(lg. starts 5) - Lance Lynn / Jake Peavy / Francisco Liriano / Chris Sale / Josh Johnson

RP(lg. starts 2) - Aroldis Chapman / Matt Capps / Addison Reed

If its a keeper league, please show everyone where he touched you with this doll.
If its not a keeper league, eh. I guess it's not too bad

lol, no it's not a keeper. this would be pretty egregious if it were i agree.

Liriano and Young shouldn't be rostered on any one's fantasy team right now. Liriano can't find the plate and Young will swing at every pitch Liriano throws him.

Looking at the rest of your team, they are easily the two worst players and it's actually quite a huge gap between them and the next worst.

i've got man love for liriano, always have. him and matt cain are two i coveted in AA ball and have followed their careers closely. his last three starts have been good. his WHIP is just over 1.00 in the last three starts. the most recent fell apart in the latter innings. if it weren't for that 3-run sixth he'd be viewed as one of the games hottest pitchers. he could be getting it together and harnessing that talent. more likely i agree, he'll continue to be inconsistent and frustrating.

I don't know why you're so down on Delmon. Young has hit near .300 over the last month and has struck out only 15 times in 103 AB's. Thats not bad. Hitting in the middle of a pretty good lineup, he should be getting more RBI than he is.

[dickay]

btw, Plouffe hit another tonight. I jumped on him rather early in this amazing run of his. Still unknown in most of fantasyland right now.

I think you're focusing way too much on sample sizes that are way too small. Over the last 4 years (2009-2012), Liriano has had one good season and has been putrid otherwise, with the worst of the performance coming last year and into this year. Same for Delmon Young, except you can extend that out to his entire career. Hell, even over the last month which you reference, he hasn't been good - .282/.295/.466 - Yahoo has him ranked 253rd over the last 30 days in fantasy, 64th among outfielders. Your league would need to be something like 15 teams (assuming 4 OF spots per team, which is 1 more than the standard league) for him to even have been worth starting over the last month.

[asianinvasion]

So I got 7 spots for 10 players. 2B, MI, 3 OF and 2 UTIL
And I have Zobrist, Ackley, Jesus Montero, Choo, Ichiro, Desmond Jennings, Howie Kendrick, Aoki, Michael Saunders and Matt Joyce. Who starts most of the time? The only guys I have set would be Joyce against righties and Saunders.

[haveacigar]

Delmon Young's hot streaks are hard to bet on because he is so easy to pitch around and does little to help himself at the plate. He's not a + power guy either. It's far more likely that he goes back into the tank, than that he stays hot and the RBIs come.

[rockiesfan4ever]

So since I added Trevor Plouffe on the 13th he is 4-11 with 4 HR, 4 R, and 4 RBI

[asianinvasion]

I hate the feeling that Lincecum is probably a must start against the Mariners.

[MichelleWie]

Aaron Hill 4/4 with 3 runs and a HR while on my bench . He has been red hot. I have to get him in my lineup!

It's the Mariners rule. All offensive players get hot when facing the Mariners unless Felix is pitching. We got Pujols going, remember that.

[etothep]

I've got 10 SPs on my team and not a single one is starting tomorrow, whats up with that?

[asianinvasion]

Casper Wells is the next Trevor Plouffe
