So if Cueto will not keep this up

[Brees#1]

how far will he regress once he does? If I should sell high on him when do I do it and for who?

he is not gonna get any higher than he is now!!! and he has been good enough that you could afford one or 2 bad starts without hurting his value too much...

But if you want to trade him, the sooner the better...

who to get is a harder question and depends on the league, but i would generally ask for a Dee gordon(best SB guy by far this season) or an OF no worse than ryan braun!!!

 

[Brees#1]

I was actually thinking another pitcher. I actually have a plan to trade Votto for Kipnis and Revere on that factor.

 

[Brees#1]

I don't want to jump to conclusions after that phillies game. No one said the phillies offense was bad.

I wrote an article on Cueto that comes out tomorrow AM.

[Brees#1]

I just read that. So could I trade him for Wacha and Kazmir?

 

[tlance]

You can try. Sounds like a good offer to me.

 

[Brees#1]

I wasn't offered that. I plan to offer it but want to wait until next week because of his two starts.

Cue to scares me because of his injury history. I think he will end the year on the dl. I know you can't predict injuries, but with some players you can see a trend.

 

[Brees#1]

I made the offer for Kazmir and Wacha did not get accepted. Now I'm awaiting responses for Ryu and Sanchez and for Fister and Kluber.

And if those don't go through I might just hold on and hope Heaney turns into a first year stud or trade Trout for Bumgarner or Kluber. Or deal Cueto for an extra stud hitter. At some point you have to take a chance if you want to win. I did win this week but got lucky. It was close 20 point win. Next week(or this upcoming) will be a rare week where I have two two starts with Cueto and Keuchel and am using Milone as the third. He gets a lot of bad projections for being as good as he's been at home this year so far and the As are the dominant AL West team too.

please don't trade Trout for Kluber, please.

You really need to take down those Kluber offers. I am a big fan of selling high on Cueto, but Kluber and Fister is not selling high.

 

[boredoutofmymind]

I think you should not trade anyone and enjoy what your team is bringing you.

 

[Brees#1]

Heaney has been called up. Thank the good Lord. Now maybe my pitching goes over the top with this. Bored, enjoy what I have? I have been losing lately but I am hoping replacing Molina with Montero and starting Singeton over Rendon and Blackmon(now I wish Springer) makes a difference.

 

[Brees#1]

I learned my lesson though in points leagues. I'm 3-0 in the second one.

maybe it's just me, but Cueto's injury history seems kinda overblown. Cueto isn't keeping this up (he has a .202 BABIP allowed, that isn't sustainable), but he's posting very strong peripherals. 9.62 K/9, 1.94 BB/9, 52.5% groundball rate, 2.76 FIP, 2.72 xFIP, 2.64 SIERA, all of which are currently career bests.

 

[depraved]

Maybe just Maybe he's having his breakout Justin Verlander MVP/CY Young year. It's always a possibility and Cueto has shown signs of being an elite pitcher before. His injury history is scary, but let's face it, every pitcher in this day and age of baseball is one pop and crack away from the DL. Not one pitcher is safe, look at Wainwright, there are injury concerns creeping up on him, Cliff Lee who is never injured is out, it's all a roll of the dice and can you get lucky.

Not just you. I absolutely agree that his injury history is overblown. He has started at least 30 games in four of his six seasons in the majors and he made 24 starts in another season. He has made every start this year. Last year is the only year that he missed a large number of starts. Actually compares quite well in terms of durability, let alone effectiveness, to most pitchers, doesn't he?

Stints on the DL

8/19/09---8/31
3/30/11--5/8/11
4/14/13--5/20/13
6/5/13--6/16/13
6/29/13--9/16/13

so 5 in 5 yrs but 3 were last year

then theres this guy

Diamondbacks placed RHP Bronson Arroyo on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow tendinitis.
It's the first time during his 15-year career that the veteran right-hander has landed on the DL. Arroyo's elbow ailment first cropped up late last month, and it came to a head when he had to depart Sunday's outing. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. The D'Backs haven't named a rotation replacement yet, but Randall Delgado is an opti

It is not as much about the injuries as it is about how good he has been. The idea is to sell at peak value, and Cueto is #1 so......

He appears to be past the oblique issues, but the way it went down last year, owners had every right to be nervous drafting him.
