Trevor Rogers has been as awful this year as he was awesome last year. I keep hoping the Marlins send him down, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening. I have him at $6 in an NL only 5x5 but am thinking I may need to drop him now. I’m in first and he’s killing me. Any thoughts or suggestions? No bench.

Trevor Rogers - time to drop?

Man, I'm glad I am not in a no bench league. That makes for some really tough calls like this. I assume you have a deep IL at least? I'm out Scherzer, Woodruff, Peralta, so without an IL and bench, I'd be toast. But in your spot, I think if you have anyone viable to pick up to replace him, you kinda have to at this point, right, although, I would try to shop him to any team looking toward next year first. I'd be surprised if you couldn't get something for him, at least as a flyer from a team not contending.
I loved Rogers last year. He looked so mature given his age. His had an impressive mastery of his pitches and new how to use them well. I think he can, eventually, get back to something close to that, but he sure does not look close right now. I guess the real question is, would you regret it if he starts pitching better in 6 weeks, even if during those 6 weeks, you have had better stats in the line up? What will the stat difference do for you? Are you contending? If so, I think you have to try to replace him, but I'd shop him first.

Thanks masher. Yes I’m in first now (by a healthy margin). No bench but unlimited IL.
I could shop him but doubt I can get much (we have a cap system too, which complicates matters). So it’s really whether to cut him or not. I wish MIA would send him down…

No bench.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

Now I just have some scrub who either fucks up my ratios or takes up 20% of my bench. I guess I have to cut bait, too, at some point but I'm holding out hope for a miracle because I apparently like the abuse. I just don't get it - what happened, Mr. Rogers?!?!?!?!

His problem has been command and he may be tipping pitches. At this point everything seems correctable, and there's big upside. Hope he returns to form.
