Fantasy Baseball: Time to Take Mike Piazza for a Long Car Ride

PIAZZADOWN.bmpEven though he’s hitting some home runs, it appears New York Mets’ catcher Mike Piazza has finally fed up ESPN Insider’s Tristan Cockroft to the point to where he says any owner that has him is in a very precarious position and should rid themselves of him and his dirty sanchez mustache as soon as possible. No, we know most fantasy leagues don’t count defensive liability against its players, but in his Out of the Box column Cockroft points out that the future Hall of Famer is always one crouch away from the disabled list and that his batting average and OPS are eroding rapidly. However, deeper leagues short on quality catchers may still covet Piazza because of his home run potential. But also realize that, at this point, Piazza is a lower ranked catcher than the Toronto Blue Jays’ Greg Zaun. Oof.
