He slipped through our AL only auction draft, then got picked up week 2 to be cut again. I'd just be dropping Bryan Garcia DET who was a SV+Hld flier that hasn't really worked out.
He seems to go from great to terrible each start. However I think the Twins are terribly underperforming and should bounce back fairly strong so it might be a good time to roll the dice again.
Thoughts?
Matt Shoemaker - Worth a flier?
Re: Matt Shoemaker - Worth a flier?
I picked up Shoemaker in my AL only as a stash. I'll probably play matchups until he either shows worthy of being left in the lineup or a cut. So I guess it depends on the format and if you have to use him right away.

Re: Matt Shoemaker - Worth a flier?
Trav, as you probably are aware Shoemaker is injury prone and as you noted he goes hot and cold. FWIW I'd use him as a streamer and for the weeks you reserve him I'd use a RP if you didn't have a viable SP to swap in.
