Ok, what are your projections on this guy? Does he get his act together and pitch like we have seen him? Or does he continue the Jekyll and Hyde routine. I for one, am praying for a great outing so I can sell, sell, sell. I had him last year and took a chance on him this year. But I am hating him right now. Anyone else in the same boat? What are your thoughts.

As long as it wasn't a woman, and you weren't in a bedroom, I think I'd take that as a compliment.

I have Ollie and Ian Snell both of whom I am about to cast to waivers. When Ollie goes good he is solid but those blow up games (like tonight - 3HR allowed) just kill my stats. I simply cant afford his wild swings. I hate to give up on him this early in the season but I need more consistency.

Just grabbed Ollie with my #2 waiver in a deep leauge. Hopefully he can turn it around. Does he have any significant splits I should know about? or should i just run him out there every start? Never owned him before. I remember him getting owned by the braves.
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

With the way he's pitched lately there's no way I'd trot him out there every start. He's shown in the past he can be a ratio killer for long stretches. I may leave him on the bench for a bit and see if he can work things out; though he did a decent job of settling down last night after getting touched for 2 in the first, before deciding to allow some more homers in the 5th. The line is bad, but he wasn't as bad as it looks.
Somewhat heartening, I guess. I have been running him out there all year, and he has been running my team in to the ground. I am going to try to trade him.
