Owners, when are you pulling the plug on these guys?

They are looking awful at the plate.

Mous is hitting .154 with 1 RBI, ranked #43 3B on the ESPN player rater ahead of Jerry Hairston, JR
Hosmer is hitting .288, but showing no power (only 3 doubles on the year).
Also, hes the #43 ranked 1B on the ESPN player with guys like Greg Dobbs and Jason Giambi.


My so far All-Bust Team:

C- Jesus Montero
1B- Eric Hosmer
2B- Jason Kipnis
3B- Bret Lawrie
SS- Danny Espinosa (about to lose his job)
OF- Emilio Bonifacio
OF- Cameron Maybin
OF- Giancarlo Stanton

SP- Matt Cain
SP- Brandon Morrow
SP- Josh Johnson
SP- Brett Anderson

I tried to get Mous but his tdbl owner seems to know everything and is too prideful to cut his loses even though he is like sub .500.

Would you also try to send Montero for Grienke and Reynolds?

Who has Greinke and Reynolds in TDBL? I'd make that deal.

We're not even 4 full weeks into the season yet. There's a blurred line between busts and slow startersto this point. I think ~ 2 months is when you can start to separate the 2.

I wouldn't worry about Cain. JJ comes with risk for sure. Don't know if he is a bust though because a lot of people wouldn't touch him on draft day.

Too early to say Lawrie is a bust although I agree on Moustakas. Still holding out a some hope on Hosmer. He at least hits for average.

Please tell me that wasn't a real offer

ETA: Still a few encouraging signs with Hosmer but I'm concerned. I can't cut bait in the leagues I have him in.

There were other pieces but none keeper worthy in an 8 player keeper league. Jose Fernandez maybe, but still no.

All right. Was just hoping it wasn't only those 3 players involved, although that is something that snake Ian Mahinmi would try to pull off.

Doesnt look good for BJ Upton that he is this bad and not on any bust lists.

You have to have high expectations to be a bust. BJ just fricking sucks.
