Geez, it's a week into the season. I think he's a hold in redrafts right now but a definite keep in other formats. He's young and has never performed very well in April, I think he's gonna have a nice season.
Obviously, I don't like the idea of cutting Yonder, but that's the beauty of the FA game. Deciding to react or not to overreact. But just because it's early doesn't mean it isn't time to start think about moving on from some players.
I'd pick him up if somebody drops him but wouldn't trade anything of value to get him
That'd be a tough trigger to pull.
I'd buy low if you don't have to give up much but beyond that, he isn't really worth it. If the guy is just giving him away for nothing, I'd pull the trigger but if the guy still thinks he has ace value, it isn't worth it. I'd say where ESPN has him ranked is about fair right now. If you can trade an Edwin Jackson or Beckett type, I'd do that but not much more.
Someone just dropped him in my league. I'm gonna take a flyer on him over weeks
http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=392188Remember the Rickie Weeks vs Robinson Cano debate?
If anybody plays in a league with old school rotisserie eligibility rules, Alonso would have 2B and 3B eligibility tomorrow.
I'm bidding with the understanding that he isn't getting everyday AB's anytime soon and I don't need him to (I have 8 CI's already).
I would definitely grab Weaver. Can you put Halladay on the bench? I don't know if I'd want to start him until he showed some improvement.
Grab weaver and stash him on the DL dropping Homer. Don't know if I would drop Niese for Halladay.
This stat was before yesterdays start : Barry Zito since 9/3/2012, including post-season:8-0, 1.82
He starts vs the Marlins on Saturday. If he sucks in that game, he might suck for months.
Unlike most top prospects, his arrival doesn't depend much on his performance. It really just depends when the Reds have an injury in the rotation. All 5 guys have a pretty long leash and have proven to be durable in the past. I've heard big things about his stuff (specifically breaking ball), but he's got to have an injury to get up here and even if he does, there's still the ballpark to deal with.
10 teamer mixed trade values are tough to predict because there's usually a lot of talent available for free, especially at deep positions.
Makes sense. I should probably focus more on moving Middlebrooks and a RP or 2. The further we get away from the 3 HR game, the less I can get on the former Another few days, and I'll have to wait for the next long slump to pass and a new hot streak to begin.
I don't think I've been more scared of a scheduled start. Moreso than anything he's battling himself, it seems, right now. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't fare well. 
(and an FYI, he's going Sunday)
Maybe, but I wouldn't be eager to spend 2013 finding out. I'm not sure how he was considered a top 10-12 ish C coming into the season. You expect a young player to get better, but 15 HRs with a sub-.300 OBP was in no way a success last season.
Too many mouths to feed for my liking, he'll go through spurts of playing time when others are hurt/slumping but those will probably be mixed with too many 2-3 start weeks. Be patient, better options will be available.
Spent $7 (of $200). It very well could be a mistake, but I'll take it. I've made worse.
its seems unpossible
