@Ashley: I pegged him as a Carlos Lee replacement two weeks ago, and have discussed him off and on for months as a guy I like.

“Buy” Mike Cameron?

I added him yesterday and he had a nice debut for me. 5/5, hr, 2 rbi, sb.

Now I’m going to expect that every game. Since I lost Kinsler, Cameron can hopefully be a decent source for stolen bases.

@wassup: He's a solid leadoff hitter. Good OBP, and light speed/power, like you said. I like him over Polanco.

Is Denard Span a fluke or is this fool fo-real? He’s been killin it for the last month and I think he’s better than Gomez. He has power, average and lightweight stealing. Should I pick him over Polanco?

@Ashley: Ha! I was telling people to grab Nolasco two months ago. Besides, I said watch their innings, I didn't tell you to drop him out right.

Buy Jo Jo Reyes? Sell Ricky Nolasco?

Go write for Yahoo!, they could use more advice like this.

@Grey: Hey Grey - any chance you could scoot over to the forums and take a look at my lineup question? many thanks in anticipation...

@dan: Sadly there's only one Grey. <--Hey, that's me! Honestly, I don't know football so I don't know.

Love the site. I know I saw the question asked before but don’t know if I saw an answer; Is there a site like this for Fantasy Football?

@wassup: Hmm... I guess for this week only, I could see going for Lewis.

By: wassup

wassup — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:13:10 +0000

you would still take perez even though he only has 5 games this week and jensen lewis plays against favorable teams in detroit and seattle. Who will get more opportunities this week

@BSA: From Sportsline, "Cueto left the same with a right triceps injury and Nick Masset came on in relief to start the 4th. He gives up a lead-off walk, but he is left stranded at 1st when the inning ended."

By: BSA

BSA — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:24:44 +0000

Cueto gone after three? Anyone know why or has Dusty begun watching IP and pitch count here in August?

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 20:22:28 +0000

@wassup: Perez

By: wassup

wassup — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 16:57:23 +0000

Take your pick. Jensen Lewis or Chris Perez taking in account job security and save opportunites. Im thinking about dropping perez for jensen. whats your take

@BSA: Sonavabench! @Nick: I think you should start Ervin tomorrow, it's a good matchup for him.

By: Nick

Nick — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 03:44:15 +0000

Hey I got Nolasco & Sabathia starting tomorrow, but not sure if I should start E. Santana as well….he has 3 stars and had 2 ER against them last game. Main reason I don’t want to start him is because my IP is going to go up alot after tomorrow although I’m only at probably +6 after tonights 11IP

F’in Wells on my bench based on latest performance. Ding dong!!

grey im down in era this week 2.13 to 2.09 and i need one more starter to have a rediculous game….

who if any?
kuroda @ phi
Dan Meyer @ Sea
Rogers @ KC
Looper V Atl

or i can try and rely on relievers (wheeler, soria, lewis)

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 21:37:09 +0000

@danimal35: I'd drop Wheeler. Go with Bush, Meche, Looper, Petit, Johnson, Maholm, punt, in that order. @Ashley: Ian Stewart has been hot and can't hurt the power numbers too bad. You might find yourself missing on some speed. That's fair about a Braves pitcher, but some leagues are deep enough where I would look at Jo-Jo.

By: Ashley

Ashley — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:38:57 +0000

Kinsler was one of my 5 keepers… So it hurts because I have to keep him on my roster. But Ian Steward was available and so far he’s been a good replacement.

And I wouldn’t “Buy” Jo Jo Reyes (or any Braves player).

By: danimal35

danimal35 — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:38:19 +0000

been holding onto marcum all season but now i need somebody to replace him…i don’t wanna stream pitchers and my k’s are golden; i have six closers; could use some help in ratio’s (WHIP in particular or WHIPip)

some availables:
Meche
Looper
Bush
Josh Johnson
Petit
Moehler
Moyer
Malholm

also, my six closers are pretty much scrubs: Gregg, Ryan, Guardado, Capps, Ziegler, Wheeler which one do i drop for the above starter since my max starting RP’s is 5?

Thanks

Grey — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:33:12 +0000

@Steve: I'd agree with that order, but I'd move Meyer below Reyes. @BSA: Yeah, Harang at Coors didn't seem like the matchup to get back on board for. @Joe: I'd want Harang. So you want more guys to platoon? Kouz has been good in the 2nd half and Davis/Bruce have their moments. Those seem fine, but if you want me to tell you to drop one for someone else, I need to know names of some guys on your waivers.

By: Joe

Joe — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:54:11 +0000

By the way, i’m 0.5 out in the pennant race for my money league! So every decision is crucial!

By: Joe

Joe — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:51:56 +0000

Do you like Harang better than Parra the rest of the way Grey?

And also…

I have Bruce in an OF spot, Davis and Kouz platooning at Util and Matsui still not activated off my DL yet…Is there any guys you can think of that might be out there that you’d prefer in my 3rd OF/Util spots?

Thanks!

By: BSA

BSA — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:44:40 +0000

Thanks Grey, I actually cut bait with Wells and replaced him with new drug Harang – the pitcher I just can’t quit. Bench him in RCL and drop him in another and look at that night! Gawd this game can be tough.

By: Steve

Steve — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 09:40:03 +0000

@Grey: Need Ks on Sunday:

Davis v Florida
Padilla v Cleveland
Meyer @ Seattle
Reyes @ Texas

That’s my rough order of preference – what say you? I already have Wolf, JoJo and Cueto going.

Hey-soos – is this what it’s come down to?

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 07:19:06 +0000

@SoS: Sorry, man. I went out this afternoon into the night. Hope you did what was right. @wassup: I'd put Danks in that list of risky pitchers as well. That's not to say they will all breakdown and be awful, but you need to watch them. Lincecum ended up pitching pretty well, huh? @BSA: I'd cut bait on Wells. @chuck: Wouldn't start him right out of the gate in any league. @royce!: I'd prefer Harang.

By: royce!

royce! — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 03:16:15 +0000

Carmona and Harang pitched identical games today… who would you prefer for the remainder of the season (or at least the week starting 9/8, in which I think they both have 2 starts)?
