| Your owners feel the same way |
The Blockbuster trade of two young phenoms is not off to a good start, at least for the Yankees. News out of the Big Apple today is that Michael Pineda is out until May. This news is just as bad for fantasy owners grabbing the young fireballer in the mid rounds of their recent drafts. The situation is eerily similar to Josh Johnson last year. Johnson complained of a sore shoulder early on last year and was thought to only be out a month. Fast forward a year and Johnson is just made his first start since he was shut down. We obviously don't know if Pineda will face the same fate but we are certainly worried. It is smart to DL Pineda if the spot is available and monitor his progress. If this thing drags out too long you have to decide when you need to cut your losses. Targeting Pineda in a trade is something to think about as well. You might be able to get him for a low end starter if an owner is panicking. While we are nervous about Pineda his upside is worth that kind of gamble.
