Kevin Correia $4.
I wrote about Correia on Friday.
I don't recommend him, even with the two "easy" match-ups this week
against the Cubs and Astros.
Tony
Cingrani $2. Other bids: $1, $0.
Fangraphs calls Cingrani an
under-the-radar prospect because he was drafted as a college
senior, but it's hard to see how far under the radar he could be given
that he was John Sickels' sixth best prospect i the Reds system entering
this year. Cingrani exceeded expectations, so he should enter 2013 with a
good shot of making the Reds. The question is whether his stuff is good enough
to make it as a starter or if he's going to wind up in the pen long-term.
Cingrani is a questionable keep at $10 either way and won't jump over Aroldis
Chapman and Sean Marshall in the bullpen's pecking order anyway. I'd monitor
Cingrani in N.L.-only, but I wouldn't add him just yet.
Cory
Gearrin $2.
Gearrin
has been terrific out of the pen this year for the Braves. This is a safe
ERA/WHIP protection play by the 1st place team; while Gearrin isn't expected to
pitch in too many impact innings for the Braves, he does look like a safe bet
going forward.
Travis
Ishikawa $1.
Like
a mediocre phoenix rising from the ashes, Ishikawa has once again shown some
signs of life and could be worth adding in N.L.-only as long as he gets some
playing time down the stretch. Ishikawa is a sneaky source of runs/RBI who can
add the occasional dinger. Add him in N.L.-only if he's playing.
Santiago
Casilla $1.
He
won't get the closer job back barring an implosion, but Casilla continues to
put up solid ERA/WHIP and is a worthy add in deep leaguers for his
qualitatives.
Darin
Ruf $0
Ruf
doesn't look like he's going to play unless/until the Phillies are eliminated.
Feel free not to add him, even in N.L.-only.
Phillipe
Aumont $0. Other bid $0
Aumont
is yet another in a long line of relievers that will live and die by his
control. If he can get his walks down to an acceptable level, he might have a
big league career yet - and could even close at some point in the future. If
Aumont doesn't do this, he'll still get chance after chance because he throws
hard but probably will never be a closer. He's an OK add right now if you need
the whiffs but with Jon Papelbon in front of him has about as much of a chance
of getting saves as I do.
Josh
Vitters $0
Vitters
is still playing but the numbers still stink. I don't know if Vitters needs
more time in the minors or if he's going to be the next Brandon Wood, but I do
know that you can pretty much ignore him in all formats at the moment.
Jimmy
Paredes $0
A
poor spring sunk Paredes as a prospect, but that didn't change his intriguing
moderate power/strong speed profile. Paredes spent most of 2012 in the minors,
but had an even stronger year than he did in 2011 in AAA. The Astros are trying
Paredes in the outfield, and while he isn't a great prospect, the speed makes
Paredes enticing from a Roto standpoint.
Jeremy
Affeldt $0
Like
Casilla, Affeldt was closing for the Giants at one point. Anything could
happen, but Sergio Romo looks like he has claimed by job so Affeldt or Casilla
won't be closing anytime soon. You can pick up Affeldt as a spec play, but I
wouldn't bother this late in the season.
