The Cut List (Week 14) - Time to Let Go?

We're halfway there in the baseball season, but hopefully your fantasy team is living on more than a prayer. (By Jove, that's terrible. Apologies.)

Oscar Mercado Has a Three-Hit Game on Sunday

Cleveland Indians rookie outfielder Oscar Mercado had a strong game on Sunday, going 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Mercado hit two doubles and a single, raising his slash line to .314/.360/.477. He's having a great rookie season and should be owned in most formats.

On Vetoes

One of the most enjoyable aspects of fantasy baseball is making trades.
