Normally I don’t recommend players who have very little to no time in the majors but like I said counting stats is easier to make up points than rate stats in the 2nd half. Gio has the strikeout potential to really help your team in the 2nd half with the trade of Joe Blanton. Gio has been averaging a k/9 over 9 and this could definitely help your team. The only slight problem is he hasn’t been named a candidate to fill the rotation spot. Still the time to buy low is now because once he does get named his value will skyrocket.

He has had quite a run the first half of the season despite seeing a lot less pitches. His BABIP is inflated and he has a lot less BB than previously. True there isn’t a lot of 2b help around but I think he will regress some. There is a chance he could continue once Ortiz comes back but it Pedroia has such a good value right now I would look at trading him and then picking up someone who would give you 90% of Pedroia.
