Give up on Justin Masterson? You haven't? That ship sailed a few months ago my friend. God luck in selling, and, failing that, you may just want to dump him for someone on the waiver wire. He has not been right all year. |

It’s been an awful season for Justin Masterson no matter how you slice it. It got worse Tuesday when the big right-hander was placed on the disabled list.
Masterson has been pitching through a right knee injury since his second start of the season, and the Indians finally decided that enough was enough. The righty has put up a 5.51 ERA over 19 outings and has seen his average fastball velocity, according to Fangraphs.com, drop from 91.6 mph last season to 89.0 mph this year. There’s little doubt that the knee has surely contributed greatly to his struggles.
"Masty's first inclination was wanting to pitch through it, which I think we respect," manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. "We thought, we DL him, get him some treatment for the first couple days, whatever he needs with his knee. Then, when he feels good, almost treat it like Spring Training with [pitching coach Mickey Callaway], going every other day off the mound once he's able to handle that physically, just to get the repetition. That's our best way to get him back on track."

I believe within the week or so he should be practicing at least, no? Should I use him as trade bait? |

I believe within the week or so he should be practicing at least, no? Should I use him as trade bait? You can always try. However, logically, it is always best to wait for a guy to come back and produce a little before trying to trade him. If you know of an owner that needs a upgrade at 1B and needs a power bat, maybe float him an offer, to see if he bites. |

If you know of an owner that needs a upgrade at 1B and needs a power bat, maybe float him an offer, to see if he bites. True. It is pretty hard to trade a guy to someone who basically only has played what like 10 games. Granted this is Trumbo so someone might really be in desperate need of a power hitter. However, this year hitting has been (unless you are on the Red Sox) pretty easy to find fantasy wise so his value might not be as high as it has been in years past. |

Hammer does not allow it at all, as in his mind, you post with him, or, you don't post at all. Do discussion about it either. I was there in the a.m, and gone in the P.M, with only a FIND A NEW HOME BIG D message to send me off with. |

All I know, that has been reported to me, is that they have now moved the daily thread there to another place on Hoopla, and, have put some restrictons on it I guess as well. You can tell me if and when you visit again, as it was clear to me that I am banned for life. |

It's under the MLB Board, not an actual one by itself. I don't really see why you were banned. Sure you informed people of another site (but that was already being highly talked about) and you didn't tell anyone to completely leave the site or even made them join this one... In the long run you didn't do much |

Should I get Josh Harrison or Scooter Gennett? Sadly, you have to go with Gennett. I say sadly, as the numbers to date, and, the position flexability say Harrison. However, he now has no set roster spot. As such, it would be too risky an investment. I'm not saying Scooter is bad, it is just that he has to be sat vs. lefties, which can be a killer sometimes in leagues with only weekly changes. Keep an eye on Harrison, as he "is only an injury away", and, he did a great job while Walker was on the D/L. |
