@Grey: drop Edwin Jackson for Perez?

@Grey: Thanks man! Much love.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:24:30 +0000

@johnson21: Yeah, cut Milledge. I just wrote a post saying that. Grab Masterson. Don't drop Perez. He was just called up.

By: johnson21

johnson21 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:23:27 +0000

@john: Thanks brotha. I am thinking of adding Hill and dropping Milledge. I will see how Perez does cuz I am in dire need of saves. Its hard to drop Milledge cuz he was my 11th round draft pick!

By: john

john — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:20:19 +0000

@johnson21: I'd drop Milledge, especially since you're OF is good to begin with..as for Hill, i think that depends on if you're in need of saves or not cuz Perez has a chance of being the closer if he does well in these first few appearances

By: johnson21

johnson21 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 06:07:34 +0000

Grey, Thanks for all your help at this hour. Drop Milledge for Masterson? In a 3OF league, I have Rios, A jones, and Bay. Werth is on my bench.
Also, drop Chris Perez for Aaron Hill? I have Bonifacio, but Hill might be a good spec add.

@Grey: cool, thanks grey

@Zebo: Sure, go ahead. @Steve: I'd like that too. @john: Start him.

Safe to start Maine tomorrow against SD in the new ballpark, right?

I have all the pitching categories in hand in my H2H this week, so i’m starting to micromanage…

@Griff: I like Felipe Lopez from that group. He's pretty much set as their lead off guy so lots of runs. I heard somewhere that the D-Backs are gonna steal more this year so he'll get plenty of SBs too. Plus, Jose Lopez and Kelly Johnson are just boring. Unless the former is called J-Lo and the latter is a female porn star, they are just yawnstipating.

By: Griff

Griff — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:30:42 +0000

What do you guys think of these 2B options:

Jose Lopez, Kelly Johnson, Felipe Lopez

I have Rollins, BJ UPton, and Rios, so speed isn’t a pressing concern.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:27:29 +0000

@Grey: Morgan’s an alternative, although he hasn’t cleared waivers yet.

And while we’re all about using your waiver priority (I have the No.1) around here, I’m not sure he’s the best use of it this early in the season.

What I really need (among a lot of other things!) is for Maybin to get his shizz together.

By: Zebo

Zebo — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:26:26 +0000

@Grey: what about keeping Snider to see if he is good for a while, and drop Edwin Jackson for Burrell?

By: Zebo

Zebo — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:25:37 +0000

@SP: too late, while i was pondering whether to drop Fontenot, Hill was snatched up.

By: Zebo

Zebo — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:22:46 +0000

@SP: so drop Fontenot then?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:22:29 +0000

@Zebo: Burrell @Cap’n C: Lewis @I’m Keith Hernandez: Markakis side @Steve: If you need steals, go ahead, but he's bad. @Tom: What can you get for Lowell? No one's going to want him.

By: SP

SP — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:21:24 +0000

@Zebo: Keep Aaron Hill. He's a lock for the 2 spot in a lineup that's actually hitting this year. You can expect 65ish extra base hits from him with lots of runs, good average and some steals.

By: SP

SP — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:18:16 +0000

@I’m Keith Hernandez: Definitely Markakis/Cruz, despite my bias because I have them. Hey, that makes us Markakis/Cruz buddies! HIGH FIVE!

By: Tom

Tom — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:08:31 +0000

Lowell’s doing well, but should I be concerned about health yet?
Should I wait a while and trade high, since I have Mark Reynolds and A-Ram?

wow monster day for my team today thanks to Hill, Cruz and Kinsler

14 4 17 2 .447 (!)

and as a Dodgers fan I’m happy to see a vague consensus starting to shape around them as the team to beat this year (especially coming out of the uber-weak West)

By: yoshinorimike

yoshinorimike — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:39:01 +0000

@I’m Keith Hernandez: It's gotta be Markakis-Cruz; I think both of those players are preferrable over their counterparts in the deal right now.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 04:37:28 +0000

Sucking real bad in R and SB. Kick Kubel to the Kurb and take (blech) Endy Chavez for a spin?

By: I'm Keith Hernandez

Who wins?

Holliday/Werth or Markakis/N. Cruz?

By: Steve

What the heffin’ hey is Weaver doing?

Or not doing?

Whatever.

Better FA pickup now that Carpenter’s on the DL:

Dallas Braden
Brian Bruney
Doug Davis
Fred Lewis
Juan Rivera
Jeff Niemann

Don’t really need anything specific… none of these guys would start in my lineup right now. Thinking value for down the road.
