He will likely bat 6th. Has always been a better pinch hitter than producer when given substantial ABs. Potential for 20hr 10sb pace while starting with lowish BA/OBP

I don't think so. Heisey is likely to always be a reverse splits hitter with his approach so even if they wanted to split those 2 I wouldn't expect him to only face lefties. Heisey's not a 162 game guy like Bruce but I think Skip gets as much of his PT from resting Ludwick as he does playing for Heisey. Plus there is the always sorta-injured but playing 2nd base spot Skip could get ABs at which is it's own topic.Eephus said:

Gio is a much better pitcher than Shelby IMO. With his peripherals being what they are, I feel like Miller is about to run into a brick wall.
Long Ball Larry

Definitely like Gio over Shelby.

That's what I'm thinking but wanted confirmation from someone else other than my own thoughts. Thanks everyone.

More likely that Shelby's peripherals improve than him running into a brick wall, IMO, but I'd still go with Gio in the re-draft.

Brad Peacock is probably a guy to keep an eye on if you need guys to stream this summer. Had his moments last year and he pitched very well versus a really hot hitting Tigers team tonight, only Miggy and VMart got to him and the homer VMart hit was neck high.

Juan Francisco worth thinkng about?
Northern Voice
Footballguy
I wouldn't, his at bats are going away soon with Lind back tomorrow and Lawrie likely returning to 3B on Friday.
Limp Ditka
Footballguy
Not sure how Lawrie doesn't find himself at 2B.
I mean does Chris Getz really need ABs?
Doctor Detroit

Well hopefully Bernard Goetz isn't going to get the at bats, that would be uncomfortable for everyone.

Vidal Nuno looked good tonight. Upcoming starts v Mets and Pirates has me interested.

guy is solid. Definition of a crafty lefty. Id start you vs those two offenses

Likely because he played 3 games there and is now missing the next 4 with a hamstring issue. Also he made a "I'm a third baseman" comment to the media.Limp Ditka said:

I've been using him for the past week or so, and I'll hold a for a little bit longer in daily leagues. I'm a sucker for cheap pop, and I think he's worth hanging on to in case Lind has a setback or they decide to move Lawrie to 2nd. If he's in TOR's lineup, I want him in mine. Well, until he goes into a slump, which can happen at any time with him.Smack Tripper said:
His walk rate has gone up now for 4 straight years, and is now at a very useful 11.8%. He's seen a massive drop in swinging at pitches out of the zone, and a slight drop in swinging strike rate. At 27, he's still young enough that he might be improving.
I'm actually pretty pissed that the Braves let him go. They hitched their wagon to Chris freakin' Johnson, when that Francisco/Johnson platoon could be huge for them about now.

1 - pretty sure he's still going to have to run to 1st base, while batting, regardless of what defensive position he's playing.
2 - Because what Brett says to the media is going to dictate what John Gibbons scribbles onto his lineup card?
Northern Voice

The thought is the injury came from the sharper cuts/turns from playing a position he isn't used to/comfortable with.
I love the way Francisco is hitting and would love to see him stay in the lineup, I'm just telling you once Lawrie and Lind are both healthy, he will not see a ton of playing time.

huh, didn't expect hin til later, guess I should think about promoting him...

I'm not breaking the FAAB bank on Odor. He's very young and only has a half season above A ball. At this stage of his career, he doesn't project to have either outstanding power or speed. I see him as a 10/15 guy batting near the bottom of the order. His defensive skills don't translate to fantasy.
There's still obviously a lot of potential to tap into. I hope I live long enough to see him inducted into Cooperstown.

No way he should be on the wire. He's got good shot to be a top 25-30 SP.
His peripherals are fantastic and he's a Padre.

still available in my league but it probably has something to do with being a points league where wins are valuable. Despite his great #s hes only 2-4
pollardsvision
Footballguy
Ah, yeah, I don't know how that would affect his value.
I drafted him then dropped him before the season started. Guy in my league is putting together a nice little backend of a pitching staff from guys I've dropped so far (Kennedy, Lackey, Kuroda)
Dickie Dunn

Can't imagine Fister isn't rostered in most leagues, but looks like he's off the DL and starting for the Nats tonight in Oakland.

He's my #3 or #4 pitcher, hoping for a nice solid outing tonight and fine returns going forward.

Footballguy
I thought as a Tiger fan you would hope he would be terrible going forward so as to justify that strange trade Dumbrowski made
Spartans Rule
Footballguy
Yeah this seems like more of a desperation callup than Odor actually being ready. I figure he'll go back down when Profar's healthy.

It's going to end up being favorable for the Tigers, book it. Looks less and less "strange" every day.the moops said:

Lawrie will play 2B v RHP and Juan Fransisco will play 3B those days

I picked up Mike Olt in my home league (already own in deep keeper). He's saying he changed his plate approach and I'm sure the Cubs would rather play him every day instead of Valbuena. Three homers his last three games, seems like a May hold.

Sell high on Lackey?
or try to move Yordano or Eovaldi?

Not Ventura even in a redraft. I'm not a huge Eovaldi fan like everyone else, hard to see him maintaining his K/9 rate based on his minor league history, and he's also getting 56% ground balls compared to his 46% average. He has the ballpark and the division though I guess. Lackey looks good and all his peripherals are solid.

Lots of arms on the DL leaves me with some innings to burn, so I'm looking at using a couple of steamers this week
Tyler Lyons v Cubs (Wood) and v Braves (more Wood)
Handled the braves pretty well last time he faced them and the Cubs are the Cubs. Both Woods have been pretty bad lately
Ryan Vogelsong v Braves (Minor) and v Marlins (Turner)
Vogelsong's been pretty good lately, 0.89 in last 3 outings. Minor's struggled and Marlins not so good on the road
Vidal Nuno v Mets (Wheeler) and v Pirates (Cole)
Talked about this earlier. He looked good against LAA last week and up against 2 bad lineups
How would you rate these 3?

If you're in a super deep league and looking for a warm body with power potential...
Carlos Quentin getting activated Tuesday. He used to be good when he was healthy?
Darin Ruf moved up to AAA and should be activated soon. Not really an open position for him, but could get AB's if the Phils get desperate / creative enough. Revere is dog poop and Brown has been no bueno. There's been some talk of trying Byrd out in CF, although it sounds like a pretty bad idea to me. Could also spell Howard against tough lefties.

Unfortunately Ruf just missed a couple of interleague matchups. They won't play another in another AL park until mid-August
E-Z Glider

Yeah, could have potentially bought him a bigger role moving forward. Still think he could earn ABs if he hits like last year.
