is Rauch totally droppable at this point? Looks like FrankFrank is locked in as the closer, but I feel like he could blow up at any minute because, well, he’s FrankFrank

I’m stuck deciding if I should scoop Dom Brown off the wire and dump Sizemore

@chata: Heh. Actually saw him live in ’85, but the Massey Hall gig looks like one for the ages – will grab the album for sure.

If you’re referring to our keeper, I think the anthem might actually be this:

Finally brought myself to dump Nick Swisher last night. Today he racks up 4 RBIs. Score!

@Wilsonian: Oh, just remembered... Pineda would be the ideal guy to move I think. They have talked about limiting his innings towards the end of the year, and he might see a rough patch once he starts to see the same teams two or three times. He's lights out right now, but it makes sense to move him.

@Wilsonian: I feel your pain... I'm in the same situation. I've been trying to target upper talent with low BABIP numbers. Players like Tulo, Crawford, Krispie, Heyward, Kinsler, and maybe even Cruz. I can't get anyone to bite after throwing out names like Cliffly, peavy, Pineda, Wood, Norris, Anderson and Liriano. I'm looking hard right now cause i've got no room to move peavy off the DL. I would love to have a player like Michael Young (3B, 2B, & 1B)... Anything is a gamble at this point. Tulo I think would be the best bet, but it's gonna take a lot to move him. Good luck!

Um, this seems like an odd time to bring Guerrier in…

Victorino to the DL, Ruben Amaro says Dominic Brown WON’T be called up….why not?

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:49:08 +0000

In an 8 Team league, where it’s tough to deal, what kind of bat should Hamels get? My offense is STRUGGLING but my pitching staff is pretty sick (Lincecum, Verlander, Hamels, Gio, Bills, D. Hudson, Pineda, Annabelle, Peavy) so I was trying to find a name that would actually garner some talent and Hamels was about the only one I could think of. Do you think he’s “expendable” with this rotation if my offense needs a serious swift kick in the ass and if so, who would you target?

@potus: actually, the first question, the one you answered, was a SV question...my second question was on HLDs. Thanks for the input tho!

Braun left game, replaced by Gomez. No idea why.

@black love: Ha @AL KOHOLIC: Thanks for the heads up! @Phils Phan: Cueto, Bum, Peavy... @Pinetar: $6 @paulzone: Lindstrom, Masset... @potus: Krispie sounds about right for Feliz. Hamels trades depends on needs. @EG: Lucroy

@paulzone:

if that was a holds question disregard my answer. I took it as a SV question

holds : Guerrier, Sanchez, Contreras or fuentes

paulzone — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:08:35 +0000

oh, can you consider eduardo sanchez in the hlds question. thanks

By: potus

potus — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:08:34 +0000

@ ballers

Pick a side:

Hamels or Quentin?

Hamels or Rasmus?

Should Feliz be traded asap? I am getting worried. Too many BB’s and I suspect he is still injured. What type of hitter does he net?

Feliz or Quetin?

Feliz or Krispie?

or do I shoot lower?

@ paulzone:

league, jansen, fuentes or guerrier would be my ranking

By: paulzone

paulzone — Fri, 20 May 2011 03:05:39 +0000

best for holds/vulture w’s/k/ratios out of:

izzy, balfour, marshall, lindstrom, o’flaherty, masset

or is sam lecure the sp holds man?!

Hey everybody,

Justin Morneau was just put on waivers in my league. I think he’ll recover this year, and he could be kept by me for next year.

I want to make a FAAB bid, each team gets $50 budget, I have 44 left.

How much should I bid?

GM: Brown probably not getting call: After the Phillies fell 7-1 to the Rockies at home on Thursday night, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said that the team would make some moves. He told reporters that injured outfielder Shane Victorino (hamstring) was more than likely headed to the disabled list, but that the team “probably” will not call up prospect Domonic Brown. Still, no corresponding move has been announced.
