Dear RotoRob: Trade Evaluation Time

June 26, 2010 / Baseball, Dear RotoRob, Tim McLeod

My thoughts on this deal are very simple and straightforward. Find your way to the accept button and click it right smartly. The key for me is in the hitting department. Rolen has certainly been huge, but are his numbers sustainable over the second half? I think we’ll see some regression while at the same time Longoria will pick up the pace. Jimenez has been incredible so far, but if you take a quick look at Weaver’s numbers they are certainly nothing to sneeze at and I believe the odds are good that moving forward there will be very little to pick and choose between the two.

The Wire Troll: Tabata’s Up

June 13, 2010 / Baseball, The Wire Troll, Tim McLeod

As inter-league play rumbles on throughout the land, is there anything truly more inspiring than getting the opportunity to watch the Astros facing off against the Yankees? We could also spin the dial and watch the Blue Jays playing against their arch rival and nemesis the Colorado Rockies. It simply doesn’t get much better than that, does it?

Dear RotoRob: Greinke or Marcum?

June 12, 2010 / Baseball, Dear RotoRob, Tim McLeod

Right now you have a situation where I believe you’d have some serious problems getting value back for Greinke. He is struggling right now (4.06 ERA, with 86 hits allowed in 80 IP). Obviously, this is miles from the standards he set for himself last season. His 1-8 record isn’t going to net you very good returns at this stage of the game.

Dear RotoRob: Kelly or Corey?

June 8, 2010 / Baseball, Dear RotoRob, Tim McLeod

Johnson got off to a great start, but has regressed to his norm as of late, which isn’t all that bad of a norm. Hart, meanwhile, is on fire and absolutely tearing the cover off the ball. I’d go with Hart right now and have him active to take advantage of his current hot streak, fully knowing that at some point in time all good things do come to an end.
