Haren gonna get rocked. Brandon Belt can't be stopped.

Is Sonny Gray expected to remain in the rotation all the way through the end of the regular season?
Ya, it was Houston but he was pretty dominant today and his control was terrific.

A dynasty league im in only allows a player to be moved from the MLB roster to the MiLB roster 3 times during the course of each contract.
So I dont want to burn an option by promoting him if hes going back down/to the pen at any point this year, and then only have 2 moves with him over the next 4+ years.

Well not a winner but hardly rocked unless you consider the Giants getting 1 run off him rocked, Belt did get a solo shot off him though.

I don't know what to do. I have strasburg, greinke, scherzer, Zimmermann, beachy, Tillman, cingranni, haren, Miley. Also, I have the most faab dollars. I don't feel right letting someone else get sonny grey, but don't know who to drop to get him.

I think Gray's upside would force me to cut Miley. In the average 12 team league there are usually at least a few SPs of similar skillsets to Miley on the wire - guys like Arroyo, Chacin, McCarthy, Kennedy, Hellickson who have might have a good to average WHIP, but posses limited K ability, and fluctuating ERA.

Gray can be much better than that with his ability to strike guys out, and he pitches in the best park in baseball.
If he gets sent back to the pen at any point the worst that happens is pick one of them up.

Unless of course there is a penalty for adds/drops or demotions like in the league I mentioned.

My guess is that you aren't aware of how good Miley has been over the past 45 days or so.

He's been good but it has still come with limited K's...and the point isn't who has been better in the last 45 days, it's who's going to be better in the next 45 days...I'd probably take the upside in Gray as well considering you already have a good core group of starters so you can afford to gamble just a bit.
