What did you have to give up for Webb? Soriano got the save tonight? Still a mess/nic cage hawkhair in the Atlanta bullpen? @RT: lol RT. What did you have to give up for Webb?

Soriano got the save tonight? Still a mess/nic cage hawkhair in the Atlanta bullpen?

Better now than later, right? I think Charlie Manuel is an idiot, and one of the worst managers in baseball. They were coasting against Atlanta and were up 5-0 around the 4th or 5th inning. Instead of letting Hamels go 100-110 pitches max, he lets him throw a CG on 120 pitches. He did follow up with a good start against the Nats, and has 2 bad starts since then. Utley (29), Howard (28), and Rollins (29) are all close to 30. I probably read waaaaay too much into this, but Hamels is already shown he is injury-prone, and it looks like they are pushing him hard to win now. He's like a unicorn, nymphomaniac brasilian models, or the apple in the garden of eden. Very tempting, but my head says to worry about a young pitcher with back problems and a heavy workload. Howard (again) and Hamels are both arbitration-eligible this coming offseason. I'm glad I won't have to sign the checks for next year's Phillies team.

A day after my Ichiro - Harden/Eveland deal gets vetoed, somebody offers me (yes, offers me) Webb... I have never experienced this in 4 years. I thought it was a joke. I almost rejected it!!! No kidding. The Plot thickens… A day after my Ichiro – Harden/Eveland deal gets vetoed, somebody offers me (yes, offers me) Webb… I have never experienced this in 4 years. I thought it was a joke.

Keeper league, since it seems to be just you and me gotta brag a little. 300 sal cap, kept Bills for 5, Shields for 5, Webb for 18 and Hamels for 15. Drafted Kaz for 20 and stacked my hitters and closers. No other SP drafted. Currently 10 in Saves also, 10 in Avg, 10 OBP, 10 hitters Ks, 8 SB, 9 R, 8 HR. Sporting a 24 pt lead in a league I've played for 7 years with different winner every year. Never won it, yet. You guys have had A LOT to do with that, kudos to Razzball and all the commenters. Wish I could get this excited about work. Love those guys.

Webb, Kaz, Bills and Shields are all really solid, so you should be fine. @BigFatHippo: Not stupid, might be playing it overly safe, but it’s within reason.

But.... 10 team roto, 7x7 Have to throw Webb, Kazmir, Billingsley, Shields Thursday and Fri. Currently sporting a 10 in Ks, 10 in W, 10 ERA, 10 WHIP.

Check out his day night splits. I'm only 13 innings over, would you consider sitting him a start? @Grey or Rudy

Hamels pitching against Reds Thursday.

Check out his day night splits. I’m only 13 innings over, would you consider sitting him a start?
