Is Ryan Zimmerman a buy low or just avoid? I just can't seem to get optimistic about him.

As a Zimmerman owner I would say avoid. They are talking about a sore shoulder again which is a very big concern given his history.

I think I am going to try to buy low on Wainwright. I am wondering if Corey Hart would be enough.

I would think so, not sure you are even winning the deal if it is accepted to be honest. Probably a win for you since Hart isn't likely steal very much and won't score enough runs batting 5th.

Corey Hart would be too much. There's so much pitching available, there's no need to give up so much to get Wainwright. In my opinion, Hart started the year ranked a little higher than Waino, and nothing has happened since then to change that. Quite the opposite actually, as the gap is now much larger.

He's going to swing a bat today to test the shoulder. If the news is positive I would send out a low ball offer.
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

The problem is that I'm not sure if his value has dropped enough to take on the injury risk considering he's already injured and struggling.

He needs to start getting more hits. Doing alright with the long ball, but needs to get on base more so the beasts behind him can drive him home.

I have faith that Boesch's time will come. That offense is too good for him to flounder much longer. Faith I say! :-b Now would be the time to buy though...
