Buy Low/Sell High Thread

I'm not saying you should actively pursue the guy, but if you are swapping players, Gordon Beckham might not be a bad gamble as a toss in. I bet his owners would jump at the chance to get rid of him too. I was getting ready to drop him for a scrubby mi type, before i went looking for reasons not to drop Beckham.
I think i found one.

Actually just came to post about Beckham. I believe someone else on here posted about Javier Vazquez also who would be a solid pick up right now.

I'm still starting him in my 14 tm'er but it's either him, Bartlett or Mous until my DL empties. But his plate discipline is becoming awful. He's swinging at 38% of the pitches out of the K zone and his BB rate has fallen significantly each season while his K rate inches up. I'm just not interested anymore.

Liriano for Beachy in a Dynasty league. Who got the better end of the deal?

I'll take the Beachy side.

A very solid pickup. He's back to his 2009 velocity. Once the Marlins trade him to a contender his value will only go up. He's still prone to allowing poorly timed homeruns, but his stuff should be good enough to outweigh that.

Is it time to drop Avila?

when Vazquez pitches on a good team, he sucks even worse

If they keep him in the NL, they should be OK. And really, I don't think and AL team would take a chance at this point. Reds or Cardinals might, though.

If your thing is to drop players when slumping, then yes.

Is Jay Bruce a buy low right now? He's been pretty awful since May. Regretting trading Stanton and Santos for him so far

I just traded Crawford for him in a keeper league. I love Bruce's long-term potential.
