I was really high on DeLauter coming into this year. But he started slow and hurt the same foot that has haunted him since college. I think he has the talent to be an all star, but I also worry this foot may haunt him his whole career. I've enjoyed Marsh's good start, but I assume the fade is coming. On the other side, Happ had a career year last year that I doubt he repeats, but he is also very likely a big upgrade over Marsh ROS. Marsh is just $1, so if he keeps it up, a good keeper. Happ is not a keeper. Should I take the deal? Before the season, everyone wanted DeLauter, but I assume this broken foot, coupled with his slow start have really tanked his value, so my plan to use him as a late season trade chip is probably out the window. I'm thinking this may be the best I can do now.

Happ has 640 and 690 PA the last two years, Marsh has 460 and 470. Marsh is hitting .150 vs lefties this year. I think betting on Marsh to equal Happ is not a good bet.---------------------------------------------

I took the 1 for 1, mostly because I worry about that foot for DeLauter. It keeps getting hurt and doesn't seem able to heal fully. Happ isn't who I thought I'd get for DeLauter when the year started and the DeLauter hype was at an ATH, but Happ should come around and give me something this year.
