I grabbed Gavin Floyd and Mike Montgomery off waivers from Toronto and Seattle respectively and they both are keeping my Indians afloat when I lost Carlos Carrasco, Josh Tomlin and Cody Anderson to injuries during the season.

Floyd had an ERA over 8.00 with Toronto out of the bullpen, but has made 11 starts for me and is 4-4 with a 3.95 ERA and has put up a 2.10 ERA in his last 3 starts (going 2-1).

Montgomery has quietly been by 3rd best pitcher (after Kluber and Salazar), and in 17 starts is 5-7 with a 3.71 ERA. I just got Tomlin back and should be getting Carrasco back in a couple weeks, so hopefully I can make a move on the White Sox and retake the lead in the Central (currently 2 1/2 back).

In another save, I picked up Caesar Hernandez and he ended up being a regular starter for me in LF, CF and 3B over a span of 6 seasons. He never hit under .285 and was averaging 8-10 homers and 60-70 RBIs. I had to let him walk because he was demanding over $9 mil per season and I had two prospects ready to take over at 3B and in CF, and Brantley was still very productive in LF....couldn't bring myself to pay a backup that kind of money....plus my owner is cheap.
