@Grey: @zombie: Cantu's June:OBP/.349 SLG/.451 AVG/.324 July: OBP/.326 SLG/.439 AVG/.293 .............People are not getting on base around him and he's had a lack of pop ever since he got nailed in the wrist.

@Ken Plane: Slump @GhostfacePrzybilla: If saves really push you that far up, sure. But can't you do less. @zombie: Getting to the point where if Cantu doesn't start hitting soon, he might be replaceable by random hot guy on waivers. @ScoutAbout: Sure, but risky. @Doc: Thanks for the heads up! @David Souter: Dempster @GTS: Take V-Mart @Elbert: Gaudin, dlR... @Rick Dempsey: He can be traded without pitching for the Padres, doesn't mean his arm and body will suddenly be ready to throw a ball after all the time off he's had. @matthole: Werth is only a hair less than McLouth and can easily out produce him. McLouth's just a tad safer, so I'd trade Werth first. @Baron Von Vulturewins: I'd lose Bruce for him in a non-keeper. @royce!: If he helps you... *****PLEASE TAKE FOLLOWUPS TO THE NEWEST POST. THANKS!***

@ R. Dempsey: Cathers make great managers. I appreciate the confirmation. Agreed. Thanks.

I think I could get Rasmus for Swisher from a Kris Davis owner… should I?

@zombie: he's better than all the 3B's you mentioned (cantu), just look at his average for june and even going into july. He's also playing for a contender in the weakest division in the NL. What's not to like about hitting around mini-dunn and hanley? Even Hermida hits for some descent pop.

Grey: Would you bounce either of Bruce or Peavy off the DL in order to stash Hudson in a non-keeper league?

@AL KOHOLIC: Thanks! I missed it. Big surprises this Open--Tiger and Watson. What year is it. If I was just listening to little snippets (Watson tied for the lead) I might think it was one of those shows on the Golf Channel where they replay the great old Opens from 20 or 30 years ago. Pretty amazing.

@grey: the s.drew owner in my league is looking for a position player in return and am determining which if any to offer: Inge, fielder, wright, howard, c. lee, ellsbury, werth, mclouth, fragu, rasmus, garrett jones, ian stewart, kaz matsui, and everth cabrera…

my offense is tops in the league as is…..would u trade werth or mclouth for drew and slide garrett jones in as a replacement?

you have werth ranked nearly 40 slots behind mclouth (10sb/10hr not much more projection)….how much worse do you project werth?

Thanks…

@DrEasy: haha, cool list, but only DeLaRosa & Gaudin available in my 16-team H2H league, I have Volstad on the other hand, just looking to add some stability in 7th starter slot.

@Elbert: Let's expand that list a bit further, how would you guys rank the following starter schmohawks? De La Rosa, Gaudin, Buchholz, Volstadt, Ervin Santana, Kuroda

@Grey: With the Peavy situation… what’s the latest point in the season that they can move him? Maybe that would be an incentive to bring him back. Isn’t it like a month after the trade waiver deadline?

……Yes this is cognitive dissonance at work by a Peavy owner, give me a ray of light for god’s sake!

some guy offered me V-Mart ($16) for Wieters ($4) – what do I do?

@Doc: Yeah I was thinking of putting the same thing out there and then realized that if someone has Lugo in the lineup they haven’t been paying attention.

As to the Buchholz/DiceK minor league order of who is coming and who is going.

DiceK is currently at a February type stage of Spring Training in July so plan accordingly. In short way off—

Clay is getting the start tonight and they were discussing that this will be the first time for Francona and the pitching coach to see him first hand since Spring Training.

It was also acknowledged that they are expecting Penny and Smoltz to need some DL time. Not that they are hurt but going on recent histories and acknowledging that the Sawx are trying to keep things fresh for September and October.
Predictions for Sawx staff in the coming months (at least one DL stint for each of the top five as follows)-
Beckett – blister
Wakefield – back spasms
Lester – dead arm
Penny – back spasms
Smoltz – shoulder strain

Tim Hudson or Ryan Dempster to stash on my DL in H2H? I don’t really need either one until the playoffs, so I can wait.

@ScoutAbout: yeah watching it myself,grey answered earlier that its a risky start but yes if needed.

I like “stafflocaca” too, but I think “rotten apple start” should be considered, as in that old saying “one rotten apple spoils the whole bunch”.

Lugo designated for assignment. Set your lineups accordingly!

Glad this is the short week, feeling a bit distracted with the British Open. Nice to know I can get the skinny at Razzball every morning. Grey, what do you think about starting Nolasco at home vs. Philly tonight?

Based on Cantu’s 2nd half last year and despite the absence of an attractive abnormal stress syllable (although, over the ‘u’ some sort of symbol would not look completely out of place), I am trusting him thus far. So I guess he doesn’t belong in the Edwin, Gordon, Kouz, Teahan, Lowell category…right? If he could be played at UTIL, is he still better than the likes of Stewart, Hafner, Cameron and Burrell?

Interesting question for you all…

12 team, 10 man keeper league. I currently have a surplus of guys I’d consider keeping–plenty to fill the quota. I’m in 5th place at the moment and have a good chance of making a push for the win. Definitely will need help in saves for that to happen.

Do I conditionally trade Lester and Zobrist (the condition being that I don’t trade them until the season ends) for Hoffman, Gregg, Howell and Aardsma (acquiring them now and for good)?

I see myself consolidating in the offseason, anyway–probably trading packages of guys like Lester and Zobrist for players higher up on the board, so as to make my 10 stronger. Thoughts?

Although most of his numbers seem in line except for BB, Chad Billingsley does not look quite right, your take on him slump, injured, or nothing to worry about at this point.
