I guess David Price wasn't the best pick up with TB counting against pitchers. He gave up 3 home runs last night. I haven't looked up whether that's an anomaly or not.

I hope its just the 4-6 weeks they are predicting right now. I am getting killed by injuries to high priced talent. 2 Turners, 3 Murphys and a Stanton. Other than that my teams are pretty healthy so far. I killed (so far) the back end of my drafts though so most of my teams are weathering the storm well.

I pushed Boyd last year, and after his previous start. He's now at 11.1 IP, 10H, 4ER, 4BB, 23K(!!), and current schedule will have him missing starts against PHI/BOS (CLE, PIT, CWS, CWS, KC are tenative ones coming up)

Forgot to mention, in tonight's game 26 swinging strikes in 6.1IP

Had a huge one picking up Shoemaker for yesterday and immediately dropping (Boston next). I plan to use a rotating piece at the end of my rotation to pick on these teams that just can't seem to hit anyone.

Im mad at myself for using up all my adds in every league he's still available.

I had Boyd all over DFS yesterday so that worked out real well.

He's basically ditched the 2 seamer this year (only thrown 4 times in the 2 starts)

Ryu strained his left groin muscle, same one that took him out of action most of last year, doesn't seem great

Another reason why having a surplus of closers is often good in YPL rotos. Those lacking them are desperate. Just traded Minter who I grabbed with the last round pick for Jose Abreu leaving me with still 3 solid closers better than Minter even with Vizciano out. Would love to see the Braves sign Kimbrel now

Just FYI, bragging about trades like that doesn't help out your case

Probably not but cashing year after year probably does

Last year he waaaay outproduced his draft price and therefore got drafted much sooner this year. But that is a good park to hit in and the early season weather often screws guys up a little.

Cano dropped in 1 of my leagues, thinking of dropping Peraza for him, yay or nay? Have Villar/Jose Ramirez/Peraza filling my 2B/3B/SS and Senzel on bench for when he comes up

I would dump Peraza for him easily. I dumped my one Peraza share last week as there are plenty of better guys on the wire. Peraza isn't even really starting right now. Depending on depth of league you can repick him up if he ever gets going but he seems useless right now

You bros are welcome. I’m not saying this was all me, but I was part of the fight.

That's nothing. Wait until you look at tomorrow's lineup and realize that everyone from any game that was PPD today, is already locked for tomorrow!
That's right, Yahoo ****ed something up so badly that players from today's rain outs cannot be edited in or out on Saturday.
