Hi, Paul or Jason. Would you drop Eduardo Rodriguez for Latos in a 12 team mixed roto? Thanks!
I’m 99% certain Jason wouldn’t.
I don’t think I would, either, even as a Latos believer. For me, in a 12-teamer, the upside of Rodriguez is worth more than the higher floor of Latos. I’d try to cut someone else and at least see another start or two from Eduardo. I want to see how he responds to his first shellacking.
I see. How about McCullers?
Would enjoy hearing your collective thoughts on Aaron Brooks and Erik Johnson. They are both doing well in the minors. Would like to hear about them as pitchers overall and their possible impact in the majors over the next two years. Thanks.
Also worth noting, as Aaron brooks is a Royal, if this voting holds up he will be an All-Star this year, so he has that going for him.
