ROTOWORLD: Yankees placed RHP Masahiro Tanaka on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation. Tanaka has flown back to New York to undergo an MRI on his pitching elbow. It's a frightening situation for the Yankees, who committed a record-breaking seven-year, $155 million contract to the Japanese right-hander this winter. Tanaka owns an exceptional 2.51 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 135/19 K/BB ratio over his first 129 1/3 major league frames.12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Is it stupid to trade for him if I'm taking on no real risk? The Tanaka owner (keeper at $5 for the next two years) is in 1st place and offered him to me after the injury straight up for my Scherzer who is a non-keeper. I'm not in contention and I can't keep Scherzer so there's no real reason not to make this move, right? Worst case scenario, Tanaka has TJ and I can either keep him on the DL next year or just not even keep him but I would've done the same for Scherzer. Am I overthinking things?

Am I overthinking things?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.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostI'd let the league know about Scherzer and see what else you can get for him...a year and a half is a long time to wait on a player. I traded for Fernandez this season, knowing that I was already out if it...but I expect SOME return on investment next year...if Tanaka has TJ, I doubt you'll get anything. Cast your net wider and see what offers you can get.

Originally posted by Gregg View PostYes and at $5 for two years (can you extend him?) not much of a gamble. I would have made the trade by now. We have all spent $5 on foolish gambles, gut feel, etc. This is the kind of gamble that can win championships. Wouldn't be so bad if you had to stash him for a year either...Five bucks man!

When was the last time the treatment of "rest and rehabilitation" actually worked? The only time I can remember a TJ scare NOT being TJ was with Yordano Ventura earlier this year, that was just a total cluster by someone on the staff telling the media wrong info. Usually in these cases, it's pretty spot on."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
