Pineda + my 2012 14th rd pick for Jhoulys Chacin + Michael Young + his 2012 28th rd pick…

No brainer, right? Beckham and Jeter have been killing me at MI. Already have Verlander and maybe Strasburg as SP keepers.

Smoak or Trumbo?

@WDE05: Hosmer @Martin: Doesn't seem like a 'must accept.' It's fair, depends if you can lose Andrus. @Steve: Yeah, that's not bad. @Fletch: Justin Upton...Lincecum

@Martin: hope he tells you that he wouldn't even consider doing that deal .

Timmy or F-Her?

By: Fletch

Fletch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 04:27:28 +0000

Upton or McCutchen rest of season?

@Grey: An injured Holliday?

@grey- I am in a 12 team H2H mixed league. I just got offered kershaw for my cueto and andrus? I know this seems like a must accept but if I do, I would not only lose a lot of steals (I have pence,J-up, Wright, but nobody really else) and I would have no SS. I could however pick up somebody like nishikoya. Should I accept the trade or try to get a different offer?

Had an 11-1 lead against the 1st place team in my league coming into today…ended up winning 8-5. Blew leads in WHIP, ERA, Ws, and RBIs. If you told me coming into the week I could win 8-5, I’d have taken it, but its not nearly as satisfying now. Oh well, on to a new week.

Grey & Co….what do you make of Allen Craig’s playing time situation? Would you guys drop him in favor of Cody Ross, Hosmer, or Justin Turner?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 04:00:31 +0000

@Steve: Number 1 to 2 OF, Zimmerman, Hanley, those types. @Steve: Konerko @Fletch: Cruz @Joel: Torres, Craig... @Joel: Bartlett

I just wanna bitch for a second… in one of my H2H matchups this week I hit 16 homeruns and drove in 46 runs…and I lost both categories. Ridiculous.

Joel — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:33:00 +0000

Also, in h2h, would u rather have bartlett or Hardy as a waiver replacement for Rollins?

By: Joel

Joel — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:31:52 +0000

Grey:

can u rank these players for the near future in a h2h league:

Allan Craig, Daniel Murphy and Andres Torres. Have Craig, but his weird playing time for the last week has been frustrating. Thanks!

By: Fletch

Fletch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:22:50 +0000

@Grey: I can only start 4 of these 5… Kemp, Tex, Stanton, Cruz and J. Upton …touch decision…I actually thought about benching Tex or Upton since they only draw 6 games this week.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:15:35 +0000

@Grey: Also, from this day forward, do you prefer Konerko or Morneau?

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:10:14 +0000

@Grey: Hey now. Having just been absolutely drilled in my H2H matchup this week, I'm giving some serious thought to going relievers-only, to try and lock up WHIP/ERA/Saves/Holds each week. The only starting pitcher I have that's worth more than a bag of used golf balls is Gallardo. What's a reasonable return for him, hitting-wise?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 03:06:23 +0000

@Terrence Mann: Hehe @Eddy: I just went over my thoughts on Bell. I wouldn't pick Adams up until the beginning of July on spec.

By: Eddy

Eddy — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:58:35 +0000

@Grey: Want to pick the brain of an expert SAGNOF'er: When is the right time to pick up Mike Adams? It's a 12-team league, about two other managers are on the ball with saves. Then again, Twitter makes it almost impossible for them to beat me to the punch, but still. Also, do you agree that Bell will be traded or no?

By: Terrence Mann

Terrence Mann — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:51:56 +0000

Looks like KRod wants the save. Hehe

@Nick: Refer to comment #332.

@Grey: I know your going to say Espinosa so just answer this question, should I start Scherzer tomorrow v. Texas after his last 2 terrible starts? I had Andersen blow up my ERA yesterday but I know Gio will balance it out tmr in baltimore…

By: Nick

Nick — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:09:03 +0000

@Grey: Espinosa or D Murphy going forward?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:45:01 +0000

@Fletch: Nope @The Sequential Hermaphrodite: Tabata @tggq21: Eh, go with JP.

By: tggq21

tggq21 — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:39:22 +0000

Grey, think Soto will get out of his slump? I know he has been DLed for the majority of the season but he doesnt look like he did two years ago or ever a year ago… I could pick up J.P. or hold on Soto

By: The Sequential Hermaphrodite

The Sequential Hermaphrodite — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:05:03 +0000

Who would you rather drop: Tabata or Gardner?

By: Fletch

Fletch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:43:19 +0000

You like Matusz over Morrow and Stauffer?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:37:47 +0000

@Fletch: Matusz...I don't trust Scherzer tomorrow.

By: Fletch

Fletch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:27:02 +0000

Oh, and do you trust Scherzer tomorrow @ Texas enough to start him?

By: Fletch

Fletch — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:22:45 +0000

@Grey: You like Matusz or Danks as 2 start options this week?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:20:42 +0000

@Eng: Danks would too, but I wouldn't start him. @Wilsonian: Sure, drop Peavy. I'd put Napoli in my lineup and never look at him again. @Eng: Dunn... You too. @Bazzrall: Theriot
