"John is not feeling so hot, his shoulder is not feeling so good, we've made minimal progress with it and from my standpoint -- I don't mean this fully, I love John -- he's not on my radar right now," Cooper said. "I mean, we've got 12 other guys that force your attention and until John gets close and John gets going, he's kind of out of my mind and I don't mean that in a bad way."

SP | Shelby Miller | St. Louis Cardinals | Fantasy

I talk to Wally (Backman, Buffalo manager) all the time and Wally tells me things that he thinks he's got to work on to get better to be able to compete up here. When he tells me he's there, then we will make a decision."

SP | Felix Hernandez | Seattle Mariners | Fantasy,
