MAC_32 12,547 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mike Olt is involved in the Garza trade rumors. He might be worth a one week flyer just to see if he lands somewhere he'll play. This is why the Rangers make the most sense for Garza. They don't really have a place for Olt to play and given his regression in AAA this year after struggling in the bigs in a part time role last year he makes sense to move. The Cubs are obviously buying in hoping for another Anthony Rizzo, win-win for both sides.That said, I'm not bending over backwards to get Olt on my teams though. He's been too awful above AA ball. I'm sure he's rostered in any keeper format and I just can't see using him in redraft except in daily leagues vs. lefties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Man 4,558 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Orioles will activate 26-year-old Cuban defector Henry Urrutia tonight. Hit .365/.433/.550 in 52 games for Double-A Bowie, followed by a .367/.406/.467 mark in 15 games since being promoted to Triple-A Norfolk. Overall he's hitting .365/.427/.531 with seven homers, 20 doubles, 28 walks, and 42 strikeouts in 288 professional plate appearances.He's a left-hitting OF - that role is filled in Baltimore's starting line-up by McLouth. But the Orioles' DHs have been craptastic, so I look for him to be the everyday DH vs. right-handers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This seems to be the case with the last dozen or so guys listed. Young, Smoak, etc. None of them are ever available.This is my 10-team Yahoo! 6x6, and with only two dedicated RP spots (and two SP), guys tend to use the three P spots to stream daily starters. Well, other than the guy who threw five closers at me earlier this season.That's why I never make getting closers a priority in my draft. There's too much volatility. Mujica has been my go-to guy all season, and I picked him up off waivers. I've run through the likes of Cishek, Wilhelmsen, Pestano, etc. It's just not worth it to me. Now that the trade deadline is nearing, I will try to make a deal for a stud, such as they are. Grilli would have been a good example, but we see how that would have worked out.

Bronx Bomber 28 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Picked up Yelich. His numbers against lefties are worrisome but all the analysts seem to have him as a top prospect with good upside. Should get regular playing time the rest of the year too, I'd assume. Let's see if he can show enough to be a possible keeper. Looks like I'm rebuilding anyway.
