He was dropped in my league last week, owner got lucky he didn't get stuck with yesterday's stats.

So I figure I'll bench him until he puts together a solid start. He can't be this bad all year, can he?

May 6th. this morning Ollie was dropped by 2100 teams, as of 13:00 Central time he has been dropped by 5131 teams. The trend is not looking good for Perez

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.

Good luck! Let me know the brand of the can of beans you get in return! :-b

I guess I should say IF he has a quality start soon. I know you can do it Ollie! I know you can.

How disappointing is this guy? He came out the first few games this year on fire. Now I'm about to fire him. I'll wait though. He gets 2 more starts (while not in my starting rotatin) a if he can't put something nice together, I'll shop him around(I'll get nothing for him) maybe try some sort of package deal and when/if no one takes, HE'LL BE DROPPED.

Oliver Perez is somoene you should try to hang onto actually. In 12 team leagues or deeper. He is very in consistant, but if you pick and choose the outting he will gather your fantasy team great value/points. Don't drop him.

wanted to give this a bump and see if "we" had any new thoughts. will this guy turn it around? very frustrating! (his outing against texas june 13th was good, but other than that...)

I don't think he's toast. He's going to have his good starts, and his blow ups. Problem is I can't make heads or tails of which is going to happen when. :-/
