Currently in a battle for 4th/5th. One of the teams fighting for 5th/6th offered the following:

Stripling $10 for Castellanos

I believe Castellanos has turned a corner this year, potentially a keeper next year. I could use Marte as his replacement though. I know Stripling is a lock for the rotation given the Dodgers pitching health, but can he keep up his performance so far this year? What does the RJ crowd think?

[Sharky]

I like Stripling. He may regress but is solid. My concern is workload. We just don’t know how he will handle it.

Another team made an offer - Quintana $23 for Rodgers.

Which offer would you take?

[revo]

Castellanos a solid player, but he's hurting you in two categories (SB-CS, BB-K). Who would take over at 3B, Flores? Your offense is weakening with all the deals for pitching. Guzman, Pinder & Fowler all are sub-replacement level, and Flores would add to that.

[Sour Masher]

I like Stripling. He may regress but is solid. My concern is workload. We just don’t know how he will handle it.

I agree completely. Stripling looks legit. Regression is to be expected, but if I knew I'd get the innings from him, I'd be all over this deal. The problem is, as Sharky says, will that sudden increased workload catch up with him?
