Now that two months are in the books, MLB teams are shaking up their roster, and, as a consequence, those Roto teams that have looked at struggling players are now seeing roster slots opening. (In particular, Luis Rivas was Dl-ed, the M's sent Olivo to the minors and Detroit did the same with Carlos Pena.)
This occurs because MLB teams cannot afford to remain uncompetitive and will eventually replace players doing poorly. The implications for Roto is owners do not need to panic and make bad trades in order to improve the production from that spot. With four full moths to go, missing a week or two from one roster spot will not make any difference.
Keep your eye on the call-ups though. The better performing minor leaguers will be recalled in a wave - Dan Johnson, Chris Shelton, Mike Morse.
