Don't sleep on the D-Cab, though he's striking out exactly no one, which makes him the opposite of who he once was. He's Bizarro Cabrera, or Bizrera (Cabrarro?). I cancelled my trade offer. Suck it, Kazmir owner. I'll take my chances with Laffey, D-Cab, Fart and Burp. Edited to add: Cabrera looked good against dem Sox.

Are you kidding me? My prediction: .385, 42 HR, 168 RBIs, 60 steals. I've somewhat downgraded the numbers 'cause he came up in the end of May. Also, I have him down for 14 wins and 8 saves. Don't ask how: HE'S JAY BRUCE MOFOS. Can I just Pledge my Allegiance to Jay Bruce right now? 4 for 5? Are you kidding me? My prediction: .385, 42 HR, 168 RBIs, 60 steals.

I picked up Bergmann for the spot start tomorrow (I need a starter to win IP) with the intention to drop him for Slowey. I'm not normally a streamer but I'll pay the $.25 transaction fee to hopefully eke out a category. re: Votto - Somebody dropped him so I waited until the waiver period ended and snatched him in exchange for Loney. Loney was snagged with someone's waiver so it really was Votto + a jump in the waiver priority for Loney. I'm blaming this on you Grey if it doesn't work out but I have faith in you. Plus I normally ignore your advice when I don't agree with it (see Uggla, Dan). I like F-you-do-me personally.

I can get him thrown into a trade but haven't watched closely at all this year. The first thing I thought when I looked at his stats was if he stole bases, I'd want him. He had a great start and cooled off in May. Any love for Fukudome? I can get him thrown into a trade but haven’t watched closely at all this year.

One guy always objects to my trades - three so far - sold volq for vlad, moved halladay for bedard, and sold beckett/kinsler for lincee/utley. Obviously none of them are razzing or else I would still be living with my sucky draft and not killing all of them. My bench has Votto, Bruce, Wells, and Figgins. Next week I play a team that dropped Pence for Olsen. I think I am rolling out the rookies Bruce and Kershaw, depending on how matchups look when I post later this weekend. Great throw in the 13th by Mora. random – only three or four teams entertain trade talks, 3 teams play the hot hand or 2 start pitcher of the week, and 3 teams don’t do anything except put a team on the field.

He has Baltimore at home, at the White Sox , and at Milwaukee, followed by starts against the Nationals at home, and at San Diego. If he's turned a corner those next three starts will be a good test, and the last two would be a great reason to pick him up. Garrett Olson has some great stuff, I'm not sure what the Orioles want from him, or what I would expect from him this year. I'd rate Slowey and Olson much higher than the rest, and advantage Slowey. I think he'll improve, while Olson could show flashes of brilliance along with some poor starts. Bergmann might be good for innings this month, I have no faith in him long term. Campillo has pitched well, but I think he is just buying time until they call up Charlie Morton. Kuo has a very live arm, but he's had shoulder and elbow problems. His IP by year (MLB and MiLB) 2006: 112.7 , 2007: 50.7 , 2008: 33.0 IP so far. I don't see him going more than 80, and optimistically 100 IP this year. He may get you quality innings, but I think the Dodgers will be very cautious with him, so probably a bad place to look for more IP. @p0rk burn:
