Steve Trachsel, Baltimore
Trachsel was once a serviceable fantasy option. Once being the key word. Even AL-only owners should avoid him as Hayden Penn is his inevitable replacement.

Braden Looper, St. Louis
Looper allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings in his first career start. This is as good as it gets with Looper and it will get worse. If for unforeseen reasons Looper has one more solid start, find a buyer and fast. This isn't a very good Cardinals team, they don't have confidence in their closer and the offense is anemic after Albert Pujols.

Brandon Duckworth, Kansas City
The Astros were outspoken at one point that a change of teams would rejuvenate Duckworth's confidence and potential, but he's failed after numerous chances. Being the fifth starter for a team that's lost at least 100 games for three straight seasons isn't a recipe for fantasy success. Looking to self destruct? Add Duckworth to your starting staff.

Horacio Ramirez, Seattle
Ramirez will have a pitcher-friendly venue, but the move from the NL to the AL is never promising. Ask A.J. Burnett and Josh Beckett. Ramirez comes with a number of injury concerns, a 1.40 career WHIP and a K/9 ratio that makes David Wells look like Nolan Ryan.

Carlos Silva, Minnesota
His inconsistent 2006 campaign was followed by a poor spring showing. Sure, he will give you an occasional outing that will tease even the most conservative, but Silva is an AL-only disaster waiting to happen.

Honorable Mention:

Wade Miller, Chicago Cubs
His one-time major league arm is a shadow of what it was. You never know what kind of winds you will get in Wrigley, and the same goes with a Miller performance.

Jamey Wright, Texas
The Rangers simply don't have any other options outside of Wright. It's Bruce Chen, Cameron Loe or Wright. Wright had a good shot of losing 20 games for Colorado in 2005 but was pulled from the rotation late in the year. In Texas, he will be pulled from the rotation early on.

Remember, reactive approaches can only get you so far. Proactive approaches are what will make you a legend. "It don't mean a thing if you don't win that bling."
