The 24-year-old Arrieta is next in line to get the call. In 71 IP at Triple-A Norfolk, he’s posted a 6-2 record while allowing 45 hits and 34 walks and striking out 62. In an interesting bit of news, Arrieta pitched two innings in a relief role on Saturday. Is this a tune-up for a promotion to the Orioles this week? I think so, and those in AL-only and deeper formats should take the plunge and get him rostered for the upcoming period.

You can only live with the dead wood and underachievers for so long before it becomes prudent to make changes and we’re very quickly approaching that time. Address your specific needs, make the moves that are needed, and don’t look back.
