I know Milton is hurt, but when he comes back I think he will be good. I am trying to pick up Ellis Burks off waivers, and also another pitcher to fill a spot. What do you think?

I agree Milton will be good when he comes back, but that may not be for a long while.

I'd consider picking someone up off waivers or trying to unload him via trade very soon.

Overall, good team! Kendall's a bit risky at C and you lack a big bopper in the OF, but overall pretty solid.

I'd say your priorities should be

1.) more saves
2.) another SP
3.) dropping Ben Sheets and Milton
4.) subbing Kearns for Hafner as the U player

Good luck

I am trying to pick up Ellis Burks off waivers, should I put him in the Utility spot instead of Austin Kearns?

[B.O.S. Owner]

1) solid infield
2) outfield needs some more power
3) Burks is showing his age....but watch him.
4) i would certainly hang on to kearns

Kearns is still worth holding on to, but this is something to keep an eye out for in the future

Ellis Burks has been great for a long time, but over the past 3 years his K's have increased, and his OBP and SLG are dropping. He's still a good bench investment, but I think Kearns will outperform him this year.
