Latest News
| Mike Leake not out of the woods yet |
by Al Melchior | Data Analyst
(5/22/13) Mike Leake staved off the challenge posed by rookie Tony Cingrani, as it was Cingrani who lost his rotation (and roster) spot when the Reds brought Johnny Cueto off the disabled list on Monday. He's 4-2 with a career-best 3.25 ERA to date, so at least on the surface, Leake has done everything possible to justify his continued inclusion in the Cincinnati rotation.
Two numbers in Leake's stat line look a little out of place, though. Specifically, he has stranded 79 percent of his baserunners, while his previous career high was 76 percent, and he has allowed only five home runs over 55 1/3 innings. For someone with a career 1.2 HR/9 ratio, that smells of good fortune.
Look no further than Leake's game log to see why he's having more success than usual. His career HR/9 jumps to 1.4 for home starts, and he didn't fare especially well at Great American Ball Park in outings against the Braves and Nationals. Leake did do well against the Cubs and power-poor Phillies, and he's had largely favorable matchups and venues on the road.
The sledding gets tougher for Leake in the next few weeks, so not only is he a sell-high candidate in deeper mixed leagues, but the door could re-open for Cingrani in the near future.

| Mike Leake wins second straight |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/21/13) This time last week, Mike Leake's spot in the Reds' rotation was not assured. He has responded to the pressure with a pair of scoreless outings, including Tuesday against the Mets.
Leake pitched into the seventh inning for the second time in a row, holding the Mets to just three hits. Two of them went for extra-bases, however he managed to limit the damage as both came with two outs in innings.
Leake struck out four batters and walked two in seven innings of work, while throwing 61 of 99 pitches for strikes. He lowered his ERA to 3.25 while earning his fourth win of the season, 4-0.
Leake is scheduled to make his next start Monday against the Indians.

| Mike Leake staying in the rotation |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/17/13) According to the The Cincinnati Enquirer, the Reds have Mike Leake listed as the starter for Tuesday against the Mets, a good sign that the team does not plan to take him out of the rotation with Johnny Cueto on the way back.
The team has yet to divulge their plans for the rotation, but it has been expected that Leake or Tony Cingrani would be demoted with Cueto's return.

| Mike Leake to keep rotation spot? |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com
(5/16/13) Reds manager Dusty Baker hinted after Wednesday's game against the Marlins that Mike Leake will remain in the rotation even with Johnny Cueto set to come off the disabled list next week, the Cincinnati Enqurier reports. He said the right-hander has earned his spot.
"Who’s talking about keeping his spot?" Baker said. "He’s doing better than some of the guys on our staff. I don’t understand why it comes down to Leake and somebody else. Leakie’s pitched well. He’s taken us deep into games."
Baker did not give any insight on who could be bumped from the rotation upon Cueto's return.
"We’ll let you know when that happens," Baker said. "I don’t think it was a matter of Leakie pitching to keep his spot. It was his spot before anyone else came. You just don’t give up on somebody that quick."

| Not enticed by Mike Leake's future |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/15/13) Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake made a compelling case to remain in the rotation Wednesday, as he tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings to win his third decision of the year. Sure, it only came against the Marlins, but it should be enough to at least make the team have to think about their looming decision regarding Leake and Tony Cingrani's futures in the rotation.
From a Fantasy perspective, we have to believe Cingrani gets the team's vote, but he is dealing with a minor shoulder injury that could tip the scales in Leake's direction. Even if Leake remains in the rotation, he is just a 4.24 career ERA pitcher with middling strikeout ability, so there is not much to like about him.
Outside of NL-only Fantasy formats, I wouldn't really touch Leake. And obviously, if the team decides to go with the upside play and stick with the younger Cingrani, Leake likely wouldn't even be worth stashing. Keep an eye on this situation as it develops, and plan to part ways with Leake if the team moves away from him.

| Mike Leake failed to capitalize on his breakout 2011 season (12 wins, 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP) by putting up a rather uneven 2012: 8-9 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. He doesn't strike out a lot of batters -- 234 in 346 2/3 innings over the last two years -- so Leake's value lies in a low ERA and WHIP. And he failed to deliver last season. Like his rotation-mate Homer Bailey, Leake was plagued with inconsistency, following up strings of promising starts with runs of shellackings. He got his ERA below 4.00 just once the entire season and it looks like he will be the odd man out with Aroldis Chapman's transition to the rotation. On another team, Leake might be a No. 3 starter, but with the Reds' stellar rotation, a 4.58 ERA just won't cut it. Leake is best left on the waiver wire in mixed leagues, but could be a nice bench addition in NL-only leagues, in case disaster strikes the Cincinnati rotation. (Updated 12/3/12) |
