Phil Niekro, what's he worth?

[Fours]

There aren't any for sale right now, and I haven't been watching his value.. Any opinions on his buy now worth?

Today feels like a great day to sell everything.

I'd start at 70k but he would probably end up going for around 30-40k is my guess.

I am about to pull him out of my rotation. I am going to replace with Kluber, Greinke or Price. Any suggestions?

He has been in and out of my rotation and I finally pulled him for good after he got lit up for 7 in the first 3 innings. It's either that or he shuts ppl down and I just got tired of the up and down.

If you play guys who understand how to hit knuckle ballers....he will get rocked. If you get guys who can't hit him.....he will be an ace.

Luck of the draw since it's random pitcher selection.

Oh I know. I've noticed in his starts if he is playing someone rated above 1675 he gets drilled. Under that they can't hit him.

I put 3 on him inside of 4 innings and he had 75 pitches. Kid pulled him (no doubt i was playing a youngen) it was that 4-3 loss I had last night. Brett and my son bombed a couple of shots on him.....he was like uh oh!

The one positive thing is with him you know by the end of the 3rd what kind of game it will be. He will be lights out or you better pull his as and start putting up some runs fast and hope your pen can hold it together lol
