One point on the Astros is that they are apparently going to continue using a 6-man rotation. Which could be good for the young guys over the course of the season, but a little tougher for weekly matchup guys.

Add/Drop and Waiver Wire wonderment thread: Do you still own Domingo Santana? (1 Viewer)

I guess when you're that stacked with talent, why wouldn't you go with a 6 man rotation.
Astros also enjoy splitting their pitching in minor leagues. Instead of having a starter go 6, 7, 8 innings, they instead have their starter go 5 and someone else come in for the last 4.

I am definitely very curious to see the progression of the Astros and if Luhnow's overall plan is successful.

Finally benching Verlander next week. Long overdue. Something just isnt right there.

Trolling for some corner pop. Hell, I've even spent time pondering not one, but two, SD first baseman.
Really want to pick up Cron again. Is there any indication that the Angels plan on getting the 41 YO with a .550 OPS out of the DH slot anytime soon?

worked for the Rays.
He seems like a smart guy who has a comprehensive plan (unlike my own team's GM), which may or may not work, but I like him intellectually.

Not sure how deep your league is, or how desperate you are, but Sandberg indicated that Ruf could play his way into a platoon at 1B (he hit a HR his first game there) and Id imagine he'll find AB's in the OF too if he's hitting.pollardsvision said:

Good call.
Not totally desperate and more looking for a depth/spec add type in a daily league with some CI/OF guys hurt or platooning. Guys like Dominguez and Olt are available, but I'm tired of picking up and dropping them.
Got Cron for now, but Ruf seems like my kind of guy.

Need help with my staff in a H2H
Have too many inconsistent guys.
E Santana, Gallardo, Quintana, CJ Wilson, J Zimmerman, Cigriani, Peralta, A Simon
Some of the guys you are talking about are free agents like McHugh and Mcarthy. Vargas and Cosart are also out there. Someone picked up Garcia
Any thoughts

Cosart no way. Has one of the worst SIERAs and has below-average BABIP.

That's rough.
I'd cut 2 of Cingrani, Gallardo, or Simon (probably in that order) for McCarthy and McHugh.
Not sure what the point of holding Cingrani is at this point. Too many walks, too many flyballs, doesn't pitch deep into games. It's gotten a tad better in May, but still unacceptable. Not a big fan of Simon or Gallardo either.
You might only have 2 pitchers on that staff that won't fall into the spot starter/match-up class at some point in the season. McCarthy and McHugh will have their ups and downs and almost certainly won't be season long solutions, but you don't have the staff to wait around on guys.
With that staff, I'd be shuffling them in and out with some regularity.
Obviously, if your roster and league situation means it makes sense to cut some hitters instead of some pitchers to get those guys, I'd do that. But if it has to SP for SP swaps, I'd still do it.

i don't believe in simon or peralta and would probably rather have mccarthy and mchugh, based on the peripherals.

Yeah, I do love Peralta, but he's pitching above his head right. I'd cut some others first, but I could see.

would not have much of a problem cutting cingrani. i guess i still believe in his upside more, but it's hard to back him too much for this year, at this point.

Thanks guys. I'm in first due to my strong bats but I'm trying to become more stable.
I've been holding cigriani bc he is keeper eligible but with Harper, Trout and Springer, I doubt I'll chase. He will be a drop with Simon from what most of you say. I want to hold Gallardo a little longer. May be able to trade him in my league based on name alone

If it's a keeper league, you might see about trading Cingrani too. The results haven't been terrible, and he's a tantalizing name.

probably not yet. Some interesting signs, but very far away from trustworthy right now. Immediate upside doesn't justify the haziness.If you're digging deep I just threw a dart at Peacock. Five straight going 6+, 3 qs, 3 games with at least a k/ip, 34/13 k/bb. Long ball is still hurting him, but if his k's keep going up and bb's down damage will be minimized.
Not starting him vs LA but if it goes well it looks like he draws Arizona, Washington, Atlanta, and Seattle next. Nice stretch.

Who is the better SS prospect to stash away, Rusell or Lindor?

I think I have to drop someone to get another catcher this week. Posey is killing me with this injury.
Who to drop?
Teixeira
Kennedy
Cole
Yordano
I have a lot of SP and just 3 starting spots. (Been trying to trade some, but no takers.)
I like Tex, but in a weekly league he's tough with this on and off stuff.
Kind of ready to cut bait on Yordano, though.

Roenis Elias pitched a CGSO against the Tigers today with 8 strikeouts and 1 walk.
In May/June he's got a 44/13 K/BB in 46 IP. His curveball is nasty. Probably should be owned in most leagues if he isn't already.

Man ive struggled to pick up SPs all year. Ive missed out on guys like Keuchel, Elias, and McHugh while i picked up duds like Duffy, McCarthy, and Erlin. Its the complete opposite how I usually am. Usually i find WW SPs like nothing and struggle to find hitters. This year of picked up bats like Mesoraco, Morse, Brantley, VMart, and Davis off waivers.
Ive been trying to trade bats for SPs but people hoard SPs in my league. I picked up david phelps and Jake arrieta both for their double starts this week. Thats how desperate I am. Any other deep sleepers? I havent had a year like this picking up Pitchers ever before.

Only owned in 11% of Yahoo leagues and 40% of CBS leagues. He was great today, the curve fooled all the Detroit RH batters.

Don't know if he qualifies as a deep sleeper, but maybe grab Heaney now if you can hold him.
I've also not given up on Kyle Gibson. He's had some good starts and has the stuff.

I know what you mean, but he has been productive when he's played and is still owned in 83% of leagues (though down from 91% yesterday).the moops said:

I've enjoyed the productivity so far, but Im parking him on the bench for now with the realization that he'll probably be dumped soon. Wrist injuries just dont usually miraculously heal.

Picked up C. Carter to fill a major hole at 1B after Colabello fell apart/got sent down. How much is the Singleton (he's long gone in my league) promotion going to hurt him?
Eephus
Footballguy
At minimum, it'll push him down a spot in the batting order and keep him out of the lineup in some upcoming interleague games. If Carter ends up platooning with Marc Krauss, there's got to be some better option in your league.

1B-eligible players who are averaging more than 5 pts./week in this league:
B. Pena
S. Rodriguez
G. Sanchez
J. Turner
T. Medica also is out there. It's a 16-team league with 1B and CI, so options are pretty thin.

I drafted in my home league and he's making a great platoon. I'm doing the Oakland A's shtick right now, platooning Lind, Butler, Perez, Blackmon, Seth Smith, and Bourn based on match-ups. So far...so good.Smack Tripper said:
