Yet another shining example of why I never pay over $30 (and rarely over $20) for a pitcher.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Yeah, I have Verlander in 3 of my leagues this year, so I'm experiencing the pain 3-fold. But the problem w Verlander is that he's just not delivering anywhere near the value you paid for. Someone needs to start a 'Josh Johnson is killing me' thread. I have him in 1 league, too. He's REALLY killing my team. Today so far, against the worst club in MLB, he gave up 4 runs to the first 4 batters he faced.Last edited by rhd; 07-27-2013, 01:41 PM.

I was willing to give Beltre for CC or Longoria for Verlander a few months ago, but the other owner declined. He's now 9/10. Sometimes the best trades...

Apparently Verlander has fixed a flaw in his delivery and his last start was his best of the year. I could possibly trade for him but the deadline is in two days so I won't be able to see his next start before making a decision. He also has Greinke but not sure if he's available. Above all else, I need Ws. I'm also targeting Bourn since I can gain a few points in SBs. I currently have an 8-point lead but the guy in 2nd already made a deal today and is working on another. So how many are buying on Verlander?If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing.

If you're not going to pay a lot, sure, I'd take him and at least spot start him.

WHIP up to 1.41. Big name junk. Hey, don't feel bad, he gets to do whatever he wants to Kate Upton's boobies.
