I have Scherzer. Thoughts on Sale? My bats in MI are a little thin due to injury (Gennett on DL and Vlad hasn't been called up). Due to this, I have Marwin Gonzalez playing Corner Infield for me and that is just bad ad Gurriel Jr. at 2B.

Currently:

Is the downgrade of the SP's too significant or do we expect Sale to bounce back just fine? Cano would be an upgrade I would think...would it not, or is he just playing his name to be higher on boards than he should?

I'd hold off on that. Cano is more name value than anything right now, he hasn't been hitting at all. Sale worries me, if he doesn't dominate BAL next trip out I'd almost guarantee he's going on the 10-day DL to figure out the velocity issues and early season struggles.

I'm fine with buying low on Cano and/or Sale right now but Scherzer in return is too steep for my taste

Also, what's the rest of your pitching staff look like? Are you needing a SP in return? Depending on what their owner's team looks like, you could target buy-low guys like Arenado or Jose Ramirez and maybe get a throw-in SP as well.

Wait on Vlad Jr. and Gennett.

Maybe find someone else to replace Marwin in the meantime.

Very weak on closers. Terrible luck as many teams are by committee. SPs include Berrios, Carrasco, Luis Castillo, Kyle Hendricks and Julio Teheran.
