Quote:I have him in my other league. Thinking about pulling the plug. He feasted on some weaker competition earlier in the season.

 

Scherzer still has plenty of trade value. He is still considered a top 10 fantasy pitcher by any site that does updated rankings. If you don't think he will pitch at that level, you can trade him to someone who does. The guy is playing for a contract on a playoff-chasing team and to me that has HOLD written all over it. A big 2nd half could be in store.

 

 

Also, 4 of Scherzers first 6 starts were against top 10 offenses (LA Angels, LA Dodgers, ChiSox). In those 4 games he gave up 5 runs while striking out 34 in 26 innings. He feasted, but not just on "weaker competition". Also, Scherzer was absolutely dominant in the playoffs last season.
