Yo, help a brother out! I'm having trouble thinking of buy low pitchers right now. Pettitte went down today and while I technically have the pitchers to replace him, I'd like a longterm replacement. thoughts?

Not a Hellickson believer. I thought about Jeff Samardzjia and Ian Kennedy. Then I saw the score of the Mets game....

I like Kennedy. Also like Colby Lewis, after he comes back off the DL.

Josh Johnson, though it could be a little too late. Kennedy is another. I wouldn't pay as much for him though.

Would you deal Bauer for Kennedy? ROS only.

Sell high: Trout.

You could probably get a first rounder for him right now. Think about it...

I don't think you are getting first round talent, but 2nd or 3rd is reasonable.

I agree that it's reasonable, but I'm reading folks here talking about having Cano for Trout offers turned down. Assuming he continues to mash for another week, I think you could pull some very good value for him.

That's tough. Probably not, but only because I'm a glutton for punishment! I'd want to see Bauer outside of the PCL. Plus, I'd feel better rooting on him than Mr Boring, Ian Kennedy.
