@Grey: I’m asking myself if Gardy is that much of an upgrade over my Pagan/Tabata platoon or flavor of the week SAGNOF to bother paying for right now…

I suppose his OBP and hitting in the Yankee lineup put him well above Tabata though. Interesting deal. I asked about a 9 for Dempster straight up, but I think he wants to try to move as many parts as possible. Gardner’s interesting though since he’d only cost a 25th rounder next year if I decided to keep him.

That might be the tipping point for me. Alright. All in!

FWIW, it’d leave me without a 7,8, 12 or 15 picks next year. I didn’t have a 4, 6, 10 or 15 in this draft and I’ve gotten this far.

@Steve: Eeehh Zo’s not hitting for the same power, although I can see him picking it up and finishing strong. I take it you need speed. Speed’s pletiful this year, aren’t there any decent options available on waivers?

Your SP’s are good enough for Erv to be expendable? I think he’s a bit much to give up for the guys that you’re asking for.

My feelings on players are a bit skewed mind you, since I play with OBP (and QS in one league) and it’s so hard to get decent arms. Either way though, I’d want more for a combination of Napoli and Erv

@Wilsonian: Bench Capps. @Steve: Forget the first one, I'd do the Zobrist one. @3FingersBrown: Yeah, I'd give those picks.

@3FingersBrown: What do you think of my possible counter?

By: 3FingersBrown

3FingersBrown — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:01:30 +0000

@Steve: I'd rather have Napoli/Erv... the rooks are hot now but could quickly fall off a cliff. Pierre's junk and speed is plentiful this year. I'd rather have flavor of the week SAGNOF than pay for Pierre.

@3FingersBrown: Non-keeper.

@Steve: Oh - I'm currently rocking The Insurance Salesman at MI (where I would put Zo') and the rest of my staff is Lester, Bald Jim, Buchholz, Niese and Arroyo, with Baker, Masterson, LeBlanc, Gorz and Pelf on the wire.

@Grey: He came to his senses and took Zim off the table

By: 3FingersBrown

3FingersBrown — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:53:04 +0000

@Grey: You think it’s worth giving an 8 and a 12 for Dempster and Gardner?

I’m like a crackhead come this time of year… On draft day, I’m always lamenting my lack of picks but if I’m going to go for it, I’m all in.

His Posey, Alvarez and Pierre for my Napoli and Erv-San.

Chump dump, right? He also has Rios and Zobrist on the block – how about Napoli + Erv-San for Zo and Posey?

I’ve got 5 SPs going on Tuesday (JJ, Verlander, Floyd, Hamels, Romero). If I play them all, I have to bench a closer, or I can only play 4. My closers are K-Rod, Capps, Soria, Feliz. Would you bench one of them or one of the starters?

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:16:48 +0000

@Grey: that's kind of my thought. I don't really want to do it, but it looks relatively fair...

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:13:55 +0000

@GopherDay: Ha, maybe. @Wilsonian: Eh @Joe B: Bills and Dempster... @3FingersBrown: I'd offer a 9th for Carp and up to a 5th for Zimmerman. @big o: That's hilarious.

By: 3FingersBrown

3FingersBrown — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:55:42 +0000

@big o: Ha! Ozzie speaks the truth! @Steve: Ahhh well. I'm getting greedy. Lopez' HR put me up in R and tied OBP. I was hoping an Albert hit/BB would put me up. Still beat my opponent 7-1 this week. The charge to the playoffs continues. Just made an offer of a 6th and a late rounder to be named later for Zimmerman and either Carp or Dempster.

@3FingersBrown: Hehe. Just messaged someone that I hoped the Cubs tie it up. So Albert can get another swing...

on dallas braden :
He’s a character, a goofy son of a gun. That’s all I can say. I don’t see anything special,” Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen joked. “He throws strikes and changes speeds and he gives his team a good chance to win, but I don’t see anything special. Congratulations on the perfect game but, if Mark Buehrle can throw a perfect game anybody can.”

YESSSSS… make that 6 games up on that FeLo homer! That was huge! Now if Cubs can tie it up and get Albert another swing…

@Grey: Another team’s entered the “sellers” ranks and I’m currently holding 6th place and last playoff spot by 5 games…

How much would you give (as far as draft picks) for Carpenter or Dempster plus Zimmerman. This is a keeper…

I offered a 9th rounder for Carp or Dempster. I’m thinking of offering a 6 and maybe a late rounder for Zim and one of the starters

Price/Delmon for Lewis/Holliday…what do you think? I have the Holliday side currently and was just offered this deal.

@Grey: I'm beginning to think so...Maybe the Phillies will consider him "off limits"? Gosh...Football season starts soon and the Texans are looking good! LOL

Reported: JA Happ would likely head to Houston in a Roy Oswalt trade to Philly.

Why do they want Happ?? He doesn’t seem like a very exciting player to deal for.

@steamer: Don't understand the question. @GopherDay: Could be on Grandy, I think he has to have at least one extended hot streak this year. @mr baseball: Ha! @big o: Ha @NoCalBatteryChucker: Jones
