Though I had downgraded Fielder a little before the draft because of the new vegan diet, he is still a cornerstone for many fantasy teams, and needs to be treated as such. Slow Aprils shouldn't be the basis for proposing trades that sell off top commodities in favor of streaky hitters. Another example of why not to make rash decisions to start the season.

Then you can't keep him for free. I’d argue that you don’t really want 2008 impact really. Then you can’t keep him for free.

Guess he'll have the first shot at 2008 impact. Jeff Clement too. Interesting that the current flavor of the week Max Scherzer was available until the fifth round.

I saw him in Boston on Tuesday, and he just cannot turn on the ball right now. Most people are saying that he will come out of this and be fine this year. After what I have seen this season, I am not one of them. I think he will be good, but a 40 HR season will not happen. I am not saying that you panic, but see what you can get for him. I traded Papi and Haren for Miguel Cabrera and CC Sabathia. I am not sure what you will want to do, but I traded him away in the one league that I had him.

I think what you are seeing is the fruit of still being a very young pitcher. Being a fan of a team, and having that player on a Fantasy Baseball team can cause you to look too deep into what you are seeing. We all would be better owners if we watched the stats and not the games. As for Hill, I feel the same way that you do. He can be so hit or miss. That possibly more of a reflection of the team around him. For example: Hill has a BABIP of .449 with a .332 batting average against in 2 starts this year. His FIP is at 1.90 which means that good times are ahead for him. I am a huge fan of D-Mac. I think what you are seeing is the fruit of still being a very young pitcher.
