I\'ve got Cam in my keeper league and he hasn\'t been exactly spectacular so far this year (1g, 6a, -11 in 28 games). I know that he is still only 20 year old, but how good is this kid going to be? Is he a must protect player in a keeper league? What is the likelyhood of him ever reaching his upside of 65 points? How long will it be before he starts contributing more than this years -3 fantasy points?

He will definitely hit the 55-60 point mark at the very least. He could get that next year, except there are two problems.
1) Chicago sucks. If they don\'t get help for Havlat, then who is Barker going to pass to? The \"Barker, over to Havlat, back to Barker, shoots...\" trick...teams will catch onto it in a hurry. They need help.

2) Barker is a band-aid boy. If he doesn\'t start showing that he can go a full schedule I\'d be dumping him and I don\'t care how good he is.

I\'m not too worried about Barker\'s injury history just yet... then again, I DID draft Havlat AND Gaborik in the only pool I paid to be in this year.

lol
Yes, I have a really short fuse on the bandaid boys, but when you have 700 players to choose from, why take a chance on guys that seem to crumple with a knee injury every time they do a jumping jack? I usually bail after two injuries. Nagy was the only exception to that rule...and look what it got me this year.B)

players available k.morales, ike davis, j.tehran, n.swisher, j.bay, a escobar, p.hughes , j.niese

jeff karstens available as well

Julio Teheran is the obvious choice. And if thats your team, maybe you need to find a more competitive one since that team you have is insanely good.....

anyone else!

What is this, a 4 team league? Ike Davis and Nick Swisher are too good to be on waivers in most leagues, but don't see who you'd play them over... or drop for them.

swisher
