Luzardo to the IL with elbow issues. Someday these guys will start paying me not to draft them.
Man, I had such high hopes for Jackson Holliday. Now I feel like Iām wasting a roster spot keeping him. But Iām not ready to give up on him either.
Oh, Iād definitely hold onto him. Iām still kind of annoyed with you for grabbing him last year just as I was about to do the same.

I know itās not funny to you but your post made me laugh.
Oh, Iām laughing with you. And given the number of pitching injuries, itās unlikely that Iām suffering more than anybody else. Iām just a bigger whiner.
In one of my dynasty leagues I have 7 pitchers who are done for at least half the year but are too good to dump
Joe Musgrove sure is having a bad season.
Heās entangled with the Astros.

Just remember, I may be in last place now, but Iāve got Framber coming off the IL any day now.
Was lorenzen changed to pitcher only?
No, he was not.
@Col.SphinxDrummond If you want to use Lorenzen as a pitcher today, you have to add his CF version to your roster, too.

What the hell, he hasnāt had an at bat since 2021?!?!?!?
I understand your frustration, but @Ron_Brand, @BillyD and I already addressed Lorenzen earlier this season because @Lsswb46 added him. Here was our ruling:
That is so stupid.
Iāve dropped Michael Lorenzen as both a hitter and a batter. Now that he is not attached to any team I would like to suggest we revisit the ruling of him having to be chosen as a batter as well. Apparently, we are the only league wonky enough to not to allow him to be available as a pitcher only. He had only 1 add and 1 drop (by me) as a batter when checked this morning. One. Also as of this morning as a pitcher he has had 10 adds and 612 drops. I mean, I donāt think he is much of a prize as a pitcher and only picked him up because of the team he was facing. He is non existent as a hitter. I get the Ohtani ruling and itās dumb enough, but using the same standard for Lorenzen is just plain ridiculous.
But isnāt that out of our hands? I thought it was some unavoidable consequence of using Yahoo. Until they decide that Lorenzen isnāt a hitter anymore (and I donāt know why itās taking them so long), arenāt we stuck?
Our league rule is that two-way players have to be rostered together. Yahooās system allows them to be rostered separately. The league rule was established with respect to Ohtani and applied to all two-way players in the system for consistency, but the issue is that Yahoo still has a hitter-Lorenzen in their system despite the fact that he hasnāt been a hitter in years. So itās a bad Yahoo decision that buts up against one of our league rules. Ideally, theyād delete the hitter-Lorenzen and solve the problem for us.
This may sound like sour grapes but itās not. It was our groupās decision to treat Lorenzen the same as Ohtani but they are not the same, really not even similar. And I think itās dumb to judge them the same way. Yahoo is not restricting how he is used, we are. At least the pitcher Ohtani is able to go in the IL and not waste a roster spot.
Sphinx, we had to make a ruling on it and we did so based off what had already been agreed to by the league previously regarding Ohtani. The league as a whole voted that Ohtani be treated that way.
The reason heās only been added once, and dropped once (by you as you listed above) is because everyone else read all of the posts that DV put together when the ruling was madeā¦accepted the rulingā¦and then decided he was not a good enough player to waste two rosters spots on.
As you have already stated, heās not a game changing player so Iām struggling to understand why you are being so passionate about this.
I think Sphinx was referencing the Yahoo universe, not just our league.
