I have both EverCab and Escobar hoping one of them will pan out…I just noticed F Morales in the FA pool…drop one of the SS for Morales?

Heads up… Kyle Blanks +6.5% owned at ESPN today (total now 40.5%). If you’re planning on scooping him up to replace Reimold (as I am in one league), the window to do so may have begun closing.

@BaboonHeart: Jackson @timSTi: You have two starters and upside, losing Lester might kill your staff. You're trading Davis when he's at his lowest. If he hits in April, you can get a lot more for him. Don't think the trade helps your team as much as it hurts it. It's fair though, if you like the trade for you, make it. It's your team. ******THERE'S A NEW POST FOR FOLLOWUPS FOR ME.******

@JP: That makes more sense (the trade-not-drop thing). Don't use J-Up's minor league record as an indicator. J-Up was, like, 18 in the minor leagues. His career trajectory so far closely follows v. similar player, K. Griffey Jr. In season 3, K. Griffey Jr put up MVP numbers. J-Ups is not that much of a risk this year.

@Grey: re:”Eh, not crazy about it” … Care to elaborate a little? I know my pitching staff takes a blow but I still like my team a lot. Especially having Pujols, Phillips, Rollins, Youk as an IF in a 7 keeper league.

@Baron Vonvulturewins: I was kust cayin’ that to my boy the other day.

@everyone: Drew Stubbs or Austin Jackson? OBP counts. Bill James loves them both and Jackson seems to be getting better every day.

Grey, thanks for the response on Ian Kennedy. Who would you drop out of padilla, richard, jaime garcia and homer bailey to pick him up? thanks again and good luck this year.

Seeing the Reimold platoon imminent, would you drop Reimold for Fowler?

By: Rizzo

Rizzo — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:12:14 +0000

5×5 non keeper roto league, which SS- Desmond, Theriot, or Everth Cabrera??

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:07:09 +0000

@John: Depends on need, guys bring different things. In a vacuum, Rasmus.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:06:05 +0000

@JP: Yeah, and Markakis could be 20/5. @mickey: Just answered this, right?

By: John

John — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:05:59 +0000

word of reimold platooning with pie has me double thinking my util spot in a 14 team league who would you rather have for util:

Ever Cab, Rasmus, Headley, Con Jackson
Thanks

How soon does H. Bell get traded? If at all.

And is Adams the man?

By: JP

JP — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:01:07 +0000

@KarlJ.: @Elijah: I understand completely but although everyone is expecting 30/30/.300 I'm afraid he will level out to more of a 20/25/.280, as his minor league numbers indicate..in that regard, it would be like trading markakis for abreu or mclouth

By: Terrence Mann

Terrence Mann — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:59:19 +0000

@Grey: Makes sense. I wondered if that was part of it. There was enough risk in the Reyes pick.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:57:22 +0000

@JP: Hey, good to see you again. Why would you drop Markakis? Like to waivers? Nope. I don't like Carmona. Grab Jones. The new Real World made the same mistake as the Brooklyn one. They wanted people to chase their careers, but other than comic book guy none of them have careers. Losing the job they work at together seems to remove a vital piece of the chaotic puzzle. And when did the show become 8 strangers? It's 7, no? I did like that guy who was singing was terrible. And what's up with a girl who wants to be a singer but says being on MTV is no opportunity so she leaves? @zombie: Tulo side @Elijah: Fox is not an every day player either. @Matt B: Hamels is enough. @Mickey: Adams, maybe soon on Bell. @Terrence Mann: I felt I needed safety over better/upside. @Baron Von Vulturewins: Ha! @JP: Oh, I'd want Upton.

By: Elijah

Elijah — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:55:36 +0000

@JP: You gotta go with Upton's upside potential...have you actually watched this kid play much? I can't remember anyone hitting the ball harder at any age, and hes got speed like an NFL RB. He could be a top 10 player in baseball very soon. Markakis is solid but doesn't have that level of talent.

By: KarlJ.

KarlJ. — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:55:18 +0000

@JP: Yes definitely- Upton's downside is probably Markakis numbers and his upside is MVP numbers

By: JP

JP — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:51:19 +0000

@Baron Von Vulturewins: What I meant was if offered Upton for Markakis in a trade, would it be wise to accept or reject the offer.

By: Baron Von Vulturewins

Baron Von Vulturewins — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:47:38 +0000

@JP: What kind of crazy-world upside-down league has Markakis as droppable and Upton as available? Are you in a league all by yourself? @TheWorld: Speaking of crazy-upside-downness, I'm calling Ian Snell as a sleeper right here. Seattle's defense made a star of Jarrod Washburn, for crying out loud. This year, Snell the glove.

Grey, you didn’t answer my question at the end of your Friends and Family blog. Why did you take Carlos Lee over Pac Man?

By: Mickey

Mickey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:46:51 +0000

damn not edit, meant to say the twins are scouting him.

By: Mickey

Mickey — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 17:45:41 +0000

Rather roster Joba for help in ratios and K’s now that he is back in pen or Adams for speculative saves when/if Bell gets traded?

And when do you think Bell gets traded?

I hear they are scouting him pretty hard.

In a 12-team mixed 5×5 weekly h2h 1-win (thats a mouthful) where SPs have big value, is Hamels enough for my Reynolds? I’m thin at SP, rich at 1B/3B. He also has Josh Johnson but I’m thinking he values him above Hamels.
