@Grey: No, I meant that overall my pitching has suffered lately, and Guthrie is a pitcher I would consider dropping if I'd be better off with one of the SPs on the wire. I like those other moves and will implement them immediately.

@royce!: Guthrie's taking a beating? I'd move Kershaw for Baker, Gonzalez for Nolasco and would consider Harang, but I'd hold him for one more start.

My SPs have been taking a beating lately, and I’m thinking some changes are in order. My possible expendables are: Verlander, Harang, Guthrie, Kershaw, and Gio Gonzalez. FAs I am considering: Brett Myers, Scott Baker, Josh Johnson, Nolasco, Slowey, Parra, Ollie Perez. Should I move any of mine for any of these?

@Martin: Agree with all that Grey and Denys said. I've had Buchholz for months, and while he's been great he has been a bit ragged lately. Same with Kuo, although I trust him a bit more that Buccholz right now. Ziegler has been great, obviously, and C Perez got the save today so he's a real good option too.

@Martin:Ziegler, R. Perez, C. Perez, Buchholz and Howell are good options.

@Martin: Ziegler. Perez (CLE). Guardado (eh…). Broxton (also eh…). Buccholz (COL – nice ratios). Kuo (also nice ratios). there’s probably 3-5 others I’d use.

hey i have a HUGE question. My closers need some upgrades. Originally i had soria, saito, mike gonzalez as my closers but with saito out and gonzalez practically useless i have gone through a series of closers such as heilman, madson, farnsworth, rodney. I was wondering which 2 relievers i should try to use. Im sick and tierd of relievers killing my ERA and WHIP, it happens every week. I

@Denys: Hehe @wakeNbake: Double E, Mora, Zimmerman, punt. @knighttown: Reyes, Hanley, Ichiro, Holliday, Utley. Nice rant.

I’m looking to tweak before the deadline and was hoping to trade some power (11/11 in HR so Fielder or Howard) for runs (6) and avg (2). I’ve offered Fielder for Reyes to the guy who never responds so I expect that’ll go nowhere. Who would you rank as the Top-5 hitters if you needed stuff in the following order: avg, runs, rbi, SB, HR?

***Rant alert***
To all you Canucks out there, anyone else as disgusted as I am with our solid zero medals in the Olympics so far? Fuck you “atheletes”. We sent (I think) 300 people to China to finish 27th in balance beam and get congratulated because they give it their all. We’re breeding a generation of losers. When does hockey season start anyway?
