@Denys: That line you're saying is exciting and possible, but it's the absolute ceiling. If you look at his splits, his numbers have been awful in some months. ****Bring followups to the new post or the forums.

@Grey: steals i’m not worried about. it’s his runs that intrigue me. dude has 60 through the break – that’s top 25 territory. and, most of the time, first year players get better as the year progresses. i think a 110 Run 10 HR 50 RBI 40 Steal .280 Avg line is not out of the question…

@Denys: I'd place Lewis between those two. Say Willingham, Lewis, Rivera, but I could see LEwis moving to first on that list or third depending on needs. If you need steals, he moves up. If you don't, he falls. @danimal35: I agree with the Baron.

@Steve: The upside of this kind of negotiation is, worst case scenario, you keep Ryan Howard. @danimal35: You're giving Berkman, Upton and Dookie and getting Atkins and Reyes? Don't do that trade. There's nothing wrong with trading Berkman for the right return, but you're giving up way too much there.

what’s Fred Lewis’ value in a 16 team league (3 OFs each) over the likes of Willingham and Rivera?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: When I said it would take something like Lee + Uggla he said he would pass. He's hoping for a Pronk revival. Oh well, time to call on the Braun/Rollins owner...

I assume you’ve also heard the Tex to Boston for Yook and Craig Hansen rumors.

I’m no Theo Epstein, but if I’m the Sox, I do that trade.

I’m just talking to myself at this point, aren’t I?

HA! The Canadian craps all over the story of Crack Baby and the Magic Yankee Stadium Redemption.

Screw wrecking his swing; I doubt Morneau makes it back to Minnesota alive.

@Steve: Nothing makes me hate fantasy baseball more than an absolutely retarded trade offer. It just makes my heart sad. @Steve: If he throws in Jesus, I'd do that trade.
