Drop Yordano Ventura for Mat Latos?

[redseat]

Dude has been going downhill in my keeper league... Latos is 6-1

Latos is a mirage.

Drop Ventura? Yeah, he's pretty erratic

Is Taillon available?

Yikes!

I'd probably try Duffey and Ray out before Latos.

Not sure their long term worth is any better than Ventura's though.... assuming Ventura stops walking everyone. I don't make that assumption, so if it's my team, I'm probably adding Duffey... keeping in mind he's got the Red Sox up next.

Yeah it's a crappy list as people in this league eat of pitchers like crazy and this is a pitcher heavy league. 14 team league will do that.

I guess I might as well hold on Ventura for now but not keep him next year, since there is crap out there. Unless I get an offer I couldn't refuse.

I am sure Shoemaker is long gone, but look at him too. He has reinvented himself since a AAA demotion and could be the pick up of the year.

If you mean.. "Matt" then yes Long gone.... If you mean "Brady" then he is available

LOL. No.

Still think you should be shopping EE. His value will only go down from where it is now. I am swinging for the fences though. Something like EE and Frazier for Arenado or Machado

hahahaha had to try....


Possibly could do a trade like that

Latos is striking out 4.77 batters per 9 IP with his FIP/xFIP well north of 5.00. Don't bother. His hot start was an absolute fluke.

 

[navamind]

Is Jon Gray available? I'd pick him up, and at the very least, start him in his non-Coors starts.

nope he is not. This league people are extremely quick to pick up the "hot" players

and out of a job

White Sox designated RHP Mat Latos for assignment.

Latos' rough outing Tuesday night against the Nationals was the final straw. He got off to a promising start this season with Chicago, posting a 0.74 ERA over his first four appearances, but the 28-year-old right-hander had allowed 29 earned runs over his last 36 innings. Latos will likely pass through waivers and hit the free agent market. He signed a one-year, $3 million deal with the White Sox in February.

Yup, gonna come back on and mention that. White Sox are strange for designating him

He is not an MLB asset at this stage of his career. He has been really bad the last 2 seasons.

Yes he has, however he appeared to somewhat be turning it around, though he was due for a regression.

He was very, very lucky in the first month of the season. He's also only gone 6 or more innings once over his last seven starts.

Yep.

I actually drafted Latos in the final rounds of 1 league and dropped him after his 5th start when his ERA was like 1.3. It was very obvious that he was on borrowed time, even back then. He was striking nobody out and giving up a ton of hard contact. The ball just somehow ended up going right at a defender.
