@vinko: Burnett

@Lob Ball: I wouldn’t start him.

@MeanMachine: I’d take Nolasco.

@mc serch: Thanks! I’d start Wandy.

Nice work this morning, loved the Sheets/Bedard riff….so I’m pretty sure you would advise ag. starting Cahill tonight (in fact, apparently you have) but what about Wandy? Does the Wandwagon roll tonight? FWIW I also have Hamels going and i have lots of innings to make up…I’m like 50 innings under the pace

They were both waiver wire pickups. DLR and Volquez are available so i would basically be picking up one of those 2 to replace Bedard so it comes down to Nolasco vs Bedard. I have 4 friggin AL East pitchers so i am trying to cut that down. Any thoughts?

Do I remember correctly from last week that you are suggesting NOT going with Cahill against the Yankees tonight?

@kwak: Over Ely…

@Black Beard: Braun side

@Yankees2010: Yeah, very frustrating.

@Enrique: Bumgarner, sit him.

@Adam: I wouldn’t have drafted Webb or owned him this year.

@Enrique: Sure, hold Demel for now. I think Qualls probably gets the nest look though.

I was offered Jon Rauch and Rajai Davis for Nelson Cruz. I’m last in saves and can make up the most points there. I think I’m giving up to much for save, but Rauch does have an attractive contract for next year

My current line-up:
C: Molina, Bengie & Posada, Jorge
1B: LaPorta, Matt
2B: Hill, Aaron
3B: Beltre, Adrian
SS:Gonzalez, Alex
MI: Rodriguez, Sean
CM: Fox, Jake
O: Bautista, Jose, Cruz, Nelson, McDonald, Darnell, Nava, Daniel, Upton, B.J.
DH: Frandsen, Kevin

Pitchers
Buchholz, Clay, Downs, Scott, Gonzalez, Gio, Guerrier, MatT, Lester, Jon, Pettitte, Andy, Rowland-Smith, Ryan, Santana, Ervin, Simon, Alfredo SP BAL

Reserves: Flowers, Tyler, Cabrera, Asdrubal, Encarnacion, Edwin, Rivera, Juan, Hellickson, Jeremy, Hochevar, Luke

But I’d be interested in knowing what Grey has to say.

Staying in Arizona, Grey, do you think Demel is still worth holding onto to see what Kirk Gibson’s going to do in the unlikely event a save situation arises? Qualls is looking better, and I wonder if he’d put him back in the job if/when Heilman gets yanked.

Reports predict he’ll get 6-8 starts… can I realistically expect anything better than a couple 5 IP no decisions?

Depending on how lineups are shuffled after the all-star break, this looks like the schedule for each for the next four games:

Bumgarner: @MIL (tonight) — @WAS — vs. NYM or @LAD — @ARI
Gorzelanny: @LAD — vs. PHI or vs. HOU — vs. STL or @HOU — @COL

On a similar note: best to sit Bumgarner against the Brew Crew, right?

Started him all season, sat him last week while he dazzled the Sox, and then watched in horror last night as he proceeded to give it up to the younger Patterson. I feel like yanking that beard of his out sometimes.

Nothing like managing myself out of contention!

Pennington, Sean-Rod (SS eligible), MMD, Alcides, EverCab, or FeLopez,

Have Sean-Rod at SS and MMD at MI right now with Alcides on the bench. Stand pat or do you see something better?

@Enrique: I ignore them when they send me a trade offer.

@GopherDay: I’d let him go unless you don’t need speed then Tabata.

@Commish Cauda: I’d want Furcal.

@TheEvilEmpire: So many pitchers, no reason why you have to mess with an O’s pitcher.

@TheEvilEmpire: Fe. Lopez…

@Time Theft Bandit: I’d take Latos, unless it’s a keeper. I wouldn’t touch Hill.

@kR Express: Napoli… Sean-Rod…

Add another team to the growing list. The Twins were linked to Lee on Monday night and may have even made a bid. The Cardinals, Mets, Yankees and Phillies are also expected to throw together packages for the 31-year-old, who has a 2.34 ERA, a 0.95 WHIP and an 89/6 K/BB ratio in 13 starts this season. Gammons hears that the Rays may involve outfielder B.J. Upton in their proposal and that a three-team exchange could be afoot.

need two solutions (5X5 Roto Non-keeper):

1. Wieters or Napoli

2. Have Utley, (I know you have covered quite a bit), but choices are:

Kelly Johnson
Polanco (in a few weeks)
Theriot
Sean Rodriguez
Aviles
Barmes

Thanks!
