@BSA: Smoltz will be covered in tomorrow's roundup. @Robert: I'd go with LaRoche. @Frogurt: I'd bench your sluggers against tough matchups (Manny vs. Wainwright today, for instance) and play hot bats. Not usual advice for earlier in the season, but at this point you need production.

New to FB here. Grey, your advice is top notch and kept this rook in the race! At this late point in the season when your sluggers (A-Rod, ManRam, etc) are barely giving you any production other than an occasional RBI and you’re seeing your HR #s plummet, do you ever sit em for a spell for a hot bat like CarGo or some of the other Buys on your blog? Shallow 10-team mixed where almost every hot bat you mention— from CarGo to Coughlan to Rajai– is available.

@Grey:Do you figure Mr. 2nd Half LaRoche stays hot? If Votto is out for awhile I could use a hot bat. Already picked up CarGo, thank you very much! I have 4 moves left with a week and a half to go. It is a long shot, but I could make the playoffs.

The reality of Smoltz is I will hold him on the bench until he settles into the puke he was in Boston or a glimmer of what he thinks he still can do.

@Grey: Der! Sorry, the earlier comment re: not happy pitching to Tek – meant to say Martinez.

Either way they are chalking the hiccup to it being a last minute change and it upset the apple cart in Beckett’s world.

Whatever – interesting night for me watching baseball as I had and threw both Buch and Halladay.

I haven’t scrolled throught the day’s comments but what is your take on Smoltz?

Watching him in Boston and thinking about the possibility of going back to the national league as either a starter or reliever I think has some fantasy possibilities.

I sent out Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to spy on Billy Wagner how he been doing in the minor leagues this year –

7 inning pitched – gave up no runs and stuck out 10

You know it’s near the end of the season when you’re sweating on the Rockies bullpen to preserve a Marquis win…

@mr baseball: Stupid mandatory-DL contracts. I blame the players' union.

Honus Wagner grandson Billy Wagner looks like he is ready to return – as a New York Mets the most you can hope for is Holds BUT just maybe he will get traded – I hid him away in a deep keeper league

Dingo Says:

Votto contract states that he be placed back on the DL after so many innings played

What’s it called when you have multiple guys (across different teams admittedly) come up empty with the bases loaded?

Apart from lame, obviously.
