manny being clowny out in left field almost cost the dodgers a second straight game .

earlier , in the game in which he did cost the dodgers a win over the cards , (by mis-playing a double in to a triple) , i thought he might get sent to the dl with whip-lash , as his dreds came around to hit him in the face , as he threw to 2nd base .

i laugh .
but it is sad .

@Simply Fred: Food for thought, but one of the league I have him in we only start 3 OFs so I don’t feel like I need to wait on him – assuming he’s even started to slump of course! I’ve already dropped him for Reimold there.

The other league is a bit deeper so there aren’t as many options. Still thinking on that one.

@Simply Fred: clarify: OPS at home is .866, road .740, hence -.126.

@Simply Fred: Look for him to tank 3 weeks out AdetAcle.

@Steve: Re-consider Da Big Fra-gu ? He will slump this weekend but should be good for the next two weeks. He is facing a combined ERA of 3.35 this weekend Atex plus his OPS is -.126 on the road. But, the next two weeks he has 9 out of 12 at home (advantage the higher OPS) with opponent ERA around 4.2. Cust kayin'.

@Nick: You just have to stay on hot guys on waivers, but you don't want to sell any of your guys short. But if you're down on SBs, why is Bourn on the bench? Bench Pence. Or trade one of them for an upgrade elsewhere.

@AL KOHOLIC: Yea, the Xrays were negative..so hopefully he won't be a big p***y and will play tomorrow because I don't want to drop him just yet

Where’s Jenks?

By: AL KOHOLIC

AL KOHOLIC — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:30:20 +0000

@Nick: Reyes probably wont run much when he comes back,he`s getting close so maybe trade him and pence or hunter for a power outfielder,i just cant see reyes stealing many bases at all when he gets back

@john: damn the luck,if you can grab either of the cabrera`s,kennedy hairston jr for the short term,orlando cabrera has been hot,everth cabrera also and runs when he gets on,hopefully escobar isnt hurt very bad,of course scott hairston(my O.F)GOT HIT 3 GAMES AGO AND SAID HE WOULD ONLY MISS 1 GAME,STILL HASNT PLAYED,as grey would say,in fantasy sports,YOU NEVER KNOW

Grey, at this point in the season I have held 1st place since day 1, many thanks to you! But I got thid gut feeling that I’m slipping and could fall to 2nd soon…At this point, is there anyone on my team you would move ASAP?

C- Napoli
1B- A Gonzalez
2B- Utley
3B- Aramis Ramirez
SS- Alexei Ramirez
OF- Ibanez
OF- Pence
OF- BJ Upton
U- C Pena
BN- T Hunter
BN- Bourn
DL- Reyes

SP- Beckett
SP- Billingsley
RP- Jenks
RP- Franklin
P- Hoffman
P- Wainwright
P- Jurrjens
B- Danks
B- Bedard
B- Wolf

I don’t know what to do at this point. My pitching is pretty solid but hitting is so sporadic it gives me a headache…HRs are up, average is terrible most of the time. SBs are down with Hunter and Reyes down. I have to get through this slump!

@Corey: Cool, I'd want the Broxton side. @Roger Dorn’s Nemesis: Looks decent for you. @Carl Spackler: I'd drop Buchholz for Blanton. @arussell1983: Sure @Steve: Sure @arussell1983: Then wait a day, but he's the lead for the job. But you do never know...

@Roger Dorn’s Nemesis: Nice name, and that seems like a solid return with great rounds for each player.

By: arussell1983

arussell1983 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:44:51 +0000

cant grab both, plus its a league with a limited # of moves allowed. i;’d hate to waste a move on johnson and not have him start

By: john

@AL KOHOLIC: I just dropped Lopez to pick up a stream pitcher and then bam! Escobar gets hit on the forearm and leaves the game.

@Grey: Da Big Fra-Gone?

By: AL KOHOLIC

AL KOHOLIC — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:33:48 +0000

@arussell1983: yes i would,also pick up baez if you can without dropping anyone needed

By: arussell1983

arussell1983 — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:24:06 +0000

would you drop sherrill for johnson?

By: Carl Spackler

Carl Spackler — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:58:18 +0000

Blanton, and Duchscherer, Hochevar are on the wire would you drop Harang, Tilman, Romero,or Buccholz for any of these?

By: Roger Dorn's Nemesis

Waiving the white flag for 2009 unfortunately. Is this trade fair value for building my 2010 roster? I give Hanley, sparkakis & laroche (none of which can be kept) I get Hamilton in the 4th rd youkilis in the 9th & wainwright in the 17th. I’m about to accept but figured I’d get a 2nd opinion

By: Corey

Corey — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:05:37 +0000

I’m doing a bit of an overhaul. I’d be gaining the broxton side looking to make up ground.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:04:28 +0000

@Corey: I'd take the Broxton side. I don't mind trying to sell Kinsler, but there's no reason to do 5 for 5 trades.

By: Corey

Corey — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:59:52 +0000

@ Grey: Thanks for the reply! Which side would you prefer? Also, You could sub in Franklin or Howell for broxton

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:58:44 +0000

@Steve: Yeah, sounds about right.
