@IowaCubs:
i’ve always wanted to play in a league where a pitcher earns points for plunking a guy :
foot/knee/leg = 1 point
elbow/arm = 2 points
middle of back = 3 points
square in the ass = 10 points

@sean: I misspoke -- Giambi's a 1st baseman too. I'm still not crazy about him. As a late flier for power, I could see it, but you need to have the average to balance it.

@sean: re: Giambino - He's averaged about 30/100/.245 the last three years. Do you really want that drain on your average for a lead-footed Utility man?

@sean: As far as I know, Bradley will play right and Johnson and Fukudome will split time in center.

This doesn’t matter much fantasy-wise, but who is playing where in the Cubs’ OF? Bradley in center?

MB’ll certainly have opportunities if he hits 5th behind Ramirez, and I don’t think that he’ll suffer much of a drop off in HRs moving from Arlington to Wrigley.

IFFFFF he can stay healthy, I think another 80/20/80 is within reach.

Saw that more DL All-Stars got signed today: Proctor to the Marlins and Pavano to the Tribe…

Heard that the Giambi/As deal is almost completed. Is he worth a late-round flier? Does the As lineup have enough pop for him to be worthy of consideration?

Also just heard that Marquis to the Rockies for Vizcaino finally got done (Yawn).

@IowaCubs: @BSA: I like the idea of someone trying to win that category so they go to the game to provoke Milton Bradley. @BSA: Who? Romero? What's to update? He went to "GNC" and got busted. Don't draft him in Holds leagues.

@IowaCubs: Now that would be an interesting spin. Grey, JC coming up in one of the future January updates? Iowa, would JC's suspension count toward that stat?

@Grey: Yaaahbut, um... yeah. He's getting overdrafted in the mocks I'm doing then. The Razzball league should use ejections as a statistic.

@IowaCubs: He's only reached 500 PA twice in his career.
