Around the Horn: April7, 2011
April 7th, 2011 | by Ray Flowers |(1) Lastings Milledge released by the White Sox. Will he ever reach his potential?
(2) Edinson Volquez struggling to find the strike zone – again.
(3) Logan Morrison has a bright future, but what is his value this season?
(4) Michael Bourn tweaks groin. Does that mean he’ll stop running?
(5) Yunel Escobar has head injury. Hopefully it’s minor after his hot start.
(6) Vlad Guerrero – he can still hit despite his slow start.

Hey Ray, love the site and your viewpoints. We have similar opinions on a majority of players so I value your information that much more.
My question is regarding Mike Minor. I drafted him originally, and was able to get Beachy off of waivers. I held on to Minor hoping the Jurrjens injury would be more serious. I’m not worried about his one bad start yesterday, but should I cut bait when I can stash guys like JP Howell and Duchscherer on my DL and pick up another pitcher? I feel like I’m wasting a roster spot with Minor, especially if Jurrjens fully recovers and Beachy holds down his spot.
Thanks in advance!

Mike – I do look dashing in that video don’t ?
You have a TON of pitching.
Rankings: Kershaw, Hanson, Billingsley must be kept. Toss in Latos and Jimenez and that is dynamic.
Shields/Wandy/Anderson/Sanchez/Beckett.
Your offense must stink… or your in an 8-team league.

Bill – You must be a very smart guy then. lol
Duch/Howell – I don’t want them over Minor, not with their ill health. That said, I don’t think Minor is going to stick around when JJ is back, so it’s sort of a dead spot holding on to minor. If you aren’t in a keeper league, looking to add another arm makes sense.
