BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues / Add in NL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: When a 23-year-old pitcher that grades as a potential above-average regular to All-Star is available on your waiver wire, you have to grab him in an NL-only league. Even if he hasn’t technically received his call up to the majors yet, he can be stashed in deeper leagues. Such is the case with Rockies’ stud Jon Gray. He has corrected some minor issues and is now pitching very well at Triple-A, just waiting for a call from Walt Weiss. Gray has a plus fastball and plus slider, a solid changeup and while the command isn’t stellar, he seems to miss enough bats to get away with it. Since May 21st, over a span of six starts (with one complete game), Gray posted a 2.01 ERA and 25 strikeouts. If you’re against adding him to the roster before the call-up, monitor MLB transactions over the next few days, as he should be getting the call any day now. After all, the Rockies really have nothing to lose with their abysmal starting rotation.
