Just Verlander

[TKOSpikes]

Okay, enough of "it's early", because it's not, it's pretty much June. What's up? Let's discuss. I guess most of us has taken him out of the elite status, but most of us are keeping him within arms length away... but is it time to say that he's Just another arm now, do batters now say, it's just Verlander?

...more importantly, do fantasy owners?

My thoughts on him? The innings have caught up to him. All those work horse 120+ pitch games that made us rave for him because it reminded everyone of yesteryear, are now coming due. But thankfully not in the form of injury, but rather just a worn out arm. The key to his fantasy success is how long it will take him to learn how to pitch without that great stuff every night, if he can. I think he'll get there eventually, but I highly doubt he'll be elite again. He'll still be a valuable fantasy at, just not an elite one.

I am starting to really wonder if I should drop him/trade him and possibly get something in return. But at this point I am not sure how much we could get for him... Tonight another disaster for him
