With about 50% of teams in each league firmly stuck in the middle of the pack, the annual decision on whether to compete for this year or next is being faced by committed owners everywhere. Using the skill indicators and summaries to date, savvy owners might find an answer that satisfies both their dynasty building goals and their need to remain competitive in the current season.
Mark Trumbo and Haren, again, are the latest day-to-day LAA injuries, Adam Lind DL'd, Nieuwenhuis gets demoted, and other moves as Tuesday trade deadline looms...
Due to the gruesome ankle injury Buster Posey (C, SF) suffered in May 2011, we've had an extra-long wait to determine the proper context for his impressive 2010 Rookie of the Year campaign. Through the first four months of 2012, it sure looks legit.
Francisco Liriano is movin' on up to the top team in the AL Central. Chris Johnson is also on the move. Meanwhile, Alexi Ogando's uniform is staying the same, though his role may be a-changin'. And we may have seen the last of Logan Morrison this season.
The signing of Rafael Soriano (RHP, NYY) prior to the 2011 season was not a popular move given the depth in the Yankees bullpen at the time. Soriano's struggles during last season did nothing to silence his critics. Cut to this season, where a sudden vacancy in the closer's role has thrust Soriano back into prominence and all he's done is thrive.
As fantasy owners look to improve their rosters for the stretch run, the last thing they need are injuries. Led by Pablo Sandoval (yes he is on the DL again), some solid pitchers fill out this week's report.
