If he is I’d make the switch with Capps as it appears that Uehara has the inside track in Baltimore and I think the situation in Minnesota has the potential to be a closer-by-committee scenario. I like your team and its potential to be successful. Let’s hope your guys heed the call and produce at the level they’re capable of and you’ll be in good shape.

Latos is enjoying an incredible year and, yes, in all probability his IP will be monitored. That being said, he is an integral part of the Padre rotation and he will be starting down the stretch as San Diego moves towards clinching the NL West. My guess is you’ll see him going no deeper than 90 pitches per start, but based on his recent performances that should still give him plenty of win opportunities.

This is an interesting question and an interesting format, Daniel. I think that to help resolve your conundrum, a closer look at the numbers is in order. Let’s take a quick scan at the stats since the All- Star break.

The problem you’re faced with is very common to those playing in very shallow leagues and there really is no hard and fast answer to your question. You have a very solid roster, but as we all know, the hot hands will jump up and the waiver wire in your league will be constantly filled with options. The problem is getting the crystal ball to work for you and with the amount of talent available in your league that is truly a crap shoot.

You certainly have yourself a conundrum. Until Gordon proves he can hit at the MLB level, he’s best left on your bench. With doubles and triples as a category you would think that Fowler would be the obvious choice, but he’s been really struggling. He’s also dealing with an “achy” wrist which is probably one of the reasons for his struggles. When healthy, Fowler is the better option, but heading into this week I think your safe play is to go with Milledge. The Pirate offense has been firing on all cylinders lately and Milledge has been a steady contributor. He has also been named the everyday right fielder by the Pirates, so playing time should not be an issue.
