Well I'm honored that both complaints go in my favor

BR had a million and two pitchers on his roster with way too many GS' already. Like you said, we'll see by the end of the year, but isn't that how all trades work? Conor Jackson has been good all year with the exception of a minor slump, but he seems to have broken out of it already. Lackey is coming off of an injury so he is an injury risk. If Jackson continues the way he has he'll score a lot more points than Lackey will for me, even if he's healthy.

As far as Verlander being dropped, I don't think he's a top ten pitcher at all, and even if he is you'd have to ask BR about that one. I think because he has too many pitchers he had to drop a couple because of Lackey and someone else coming off of the DL.

EDIT: I just looked it up, the other pitcher was Dontrelle Willis that he dropped. Both pitchers were by far his worst starters so far this year. Whether or not they were performing below their potential is up for argument, but they weren't performing on a fantasy level for him so I'm assuming that's why he dropped Willis and Verlander. Again, I'm guessing... you have to ask BR why he dropped those two. I'm sure it wasn't to help FC who picked up Verlander.
