@john: Think MRI came back negative. Someone (pork burn maybe?) posted a link to a story in the Chicago press further up.

@Nick: Rotowire is saying he's going in for an MRI on the calf, are you sure about that website?

@scarecrow: I'd want Fowler. @Prince: Yup.

@Paulie Allnuts: Jobacum needs to hit a Gallardonk.

Two Teabaggers for John Buck in one game!

Is there a curse on Jobacum? Will he ever get his first win in the Bigs?

Just found a pretty good site called fantasysp.com. Said A Ram will not be going on the DL and will be back in a couple days, no need for 15 days recovery. I’m hoping there sources are reliable but its not a bad website.

@Bermuda Triangles: His lack of steals is really the most disconcerting thing. I don't think he's far from those numbers you posted, but he really needs to get going on the basepaths.

Grey: Thanks for much for the quick response. Really enjoy the site and the daily round up!

Question – where do you see Rollins by the end of the year?

.280, 110R, 12HR, 90RBI, 40SB

or is that a pipe dream? what are your numbers?

Thanks!

@Prince: Oh, if you're looking to grab Street, then definitely. I'm saying don't drop Corpas just let for random waiver hitter that might only be on your team for 2 days. In summation, hold Corpas, grab Street.

By: Prince

Prince — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:30:56 +0000

@Grey: Good point, that's true. But if it's probably going to be Street, now's my chance to get him (though I'm 10th on waivers). I have no one else to drop.

By: Prince

Denver Post:
“The job as Rockies closer has been a revolving door, and right now it appears that Huston Street is on his way in and Manuel Corpas is on his way out.
…’It was a significant opportunity to do something good for the ballclub, and (Street) was able to do it,” Hurdle said. “It was in pretty effective fashion, three punch-outs, no ball in play. But I’ll probably talk to the team first.’”

I think I’ll take the chance and drop Corpas.

By: Grey

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

@Prince: Don't drop him yet. You can miss one or two games without a replacement. You might save yourself an 0-for-4.

By: Prince

Prince — Fri, 01 May 2009 04:26:24 +0000

@Grey: @AL KOHOLIC: Thanks guys. Street is on waivers, so I'm a bit torn as to whether to make a claim and drop Corpas. Dropping Corpas would also allow me to sub for Hamilton or Hanley.

@Prince: supposedly,i grabbed street and dropped hanraha,but after tonight hanny might be closing

@Mark: I'd get Berkman there. @Infamous: You need to add a closer or something to that trade for Haren. @dtv: I want Wilson. @Bermuda Triangles: Thumbs up. @Prince: Hurdle says he's considering going back to Street. Can't drop Corpas yet though.

Hey guys, can anyone give me any info on Corpas? Has he been demoted?

Grey – can you give me a quick thumbs up / thumbs down:

12 man HTH auction league

My offense is a little weak, my pitching is stoked for now (Harden, Gallardo, Jered Weaver, Phil Hughes, Rickey Romaro) especially with closers (H Bell, B Morrow, M Gonzalez, T Hoffman, B Fuentes).

I have the opportunity to make this trade:

From me: H Bell, J Weaver, J Lugo, R Doumit
Fom him: J Rollins, J Arendondo, C Ray (or Putz), R Barajas

The extra guys are to make the dollars work. I’m giving him salary cap room and I’m going to basically max out my salary.

Right now I have Theriot and Alexei Ramirez in the minors (free keeper next year if he stays down) and we play with 2 utility spots. My current util guys are Rios, Ankiel and Bourn – so Rollins will obviously play.

The guy is also in my division (he’s 3-0-0, I’m 1-0-2), he has a much better offense, but is short on starters and has no closers.

Advice would be appreciated.

@Steve: Shoot Steve I am starting to see where this time differential can work out for you. You're day is ending while ours is getting going. Unless we go to bed wicked late and get up before dawn you get first pick (unless a waiver is accessed). Eh, C'est La Vie! I am going back to the basement. I noticed Cruisin' tried to get away but she is coming back down for the party. Anyone else want to join in. It's cooler in the basement as the weather heats up and the beer is cold.

@p0rk burn: Fair enough. Trade advise is one thing. I think I remember the controversy - Hank was using an alias or something like that. However, the guys in the league all know who I and asking whether schmohawk 1 over schmohawk 2 is rather inconsequential. Not like its made a difference as the guy I asked about got scooped anyway. I'll likely refrain from these types of questions specific to the RCL.
