Getting Headley
June 15, 2008
Category: June's Daily Notes
Will probably be activated for Tuesday. I hear the Padres didn’t want to pay for his Sunday meal waiver when the guys decided to go to Dick’s Last Resort in the Gaslamp. Chicken Fingers don’t come cheap. Headley should play six of seven games unless he struggles mightily, then he’ll probably play seven of seven like the Friars did with Kouzmanoff last year. Headley can hit. Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder are about the only ones that could hit forty home runs in Petco if it were their home park, so the park will be a factor in Headley’s success. Headley has a terrific eye and good power. Will he be Bruceterful? Perhaps, he’s got a much better eye than Bruce, but his ballpark is dreadful. Also, his speed is somewhere between A-Gonz and Kouz, which is to say it’s non-existent. I’d say Headley’s projections are 30/10/40/.280. Numbers that could make a difference in deep leagues. Of course, the exciting thing is the ceiling’s much higher since he’s a rookie. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jorge Campillo – Complete game loss is nothing to sneeze at. Unless you’re allergic to complete game losses, which would be an odd allergy. But I think Trace Adkins can help.
Micah Owings – I’m done done with Micah Owings. You wanna use him in the near future? You’re taking your WHIP into your own hands. For those reading in Latin America, caveat emptor.
Billy Wagner – Hey, what do you know? He can still get three guys out. Imagine how many saves Nolan Ryan would’ve had if he only had to get three guys out four days a week. Seriously, imagine it. If you can’t, I will for you. 12,000 saves for Nolan Ryan.
Paul Konerko – Might head to the DL. Maybe he’s got the same injury as Victor Martinez. The ‘ol “I’m really sucking and I gotta figure out an excuse fast” injury.
David DeJesus – 3 HRs and .345 in June. Also, turned a loss into a win.
Joe Saunders – Fifth ten game winner. Is it me or are we headed for more twenty game winners this year than in the last four years combined?
Lastings Milledge – Playings welledge recently, but stilledge got a way to go before he’s worth addings.
Jacoby Ellsbury – 33rd steal. On pace for a lot. I gotta say, one of the bigger surprises this season so far for Grey (that’s me). Maybe later in the week I’ll do my top twenty surprises. That seems like something you people would like to read.
Vernon Wells – After leaving with a sore wrist on Saturday, he was back in there to go 0-for-4. I’ll cut to the chase for you, a sore wrist for Wells is a major issue.
Jorge Posada – 8-for-22 and two home runs since returning. Eh, Doumit did that in one game. If you need a piece, trade Posada and don’t feel guilty about it. As Oskar Schindler said, I pardon you.
Jay Bruce – He just came off his worst week (5-for-30 with one RBI) and I don’t think it’s necessarily going to get better. However, he did manage to find time to air lift 18 rare mountain bongo antelope to Africa.
C.C. Sabathia – I’m sure glad he was an absolute waste of a top pick– Oh, wait. He’s fine. Yeah, dur. (BTW, I said Cliff Lee wouldn’t be at 2.50 ERA by June 15th and Eric Karabell said he’d finish the season with it. I win. Again. Eat it, Karabaloney.)
June 15th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Top 20 surprises, I like it.
Would think Josh Hamilton has to be at the top of the list.

June 15th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
BTW
What’s your take on Nolasco?
[Reply]

“Lastings Milledge – Playings welledge recently, but stilledge got a way to go before he’s worth addings.” = stretchedge
12,000 wins, har!
Bongo antelope are cool, Thank you Bruce Almighty
[Reply]
@BigFatHippo: Took him five previous starts to get 12 Ks. Just a matter of the Rays deciding to swing and miss a lot. Nolasco has dynmite stuff but has a lot of problems making quality starts. Would be a very high risk, some small reward type. IMO, not worth a pickup.
[Reply]
June 15th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Cut bait on Owings basically everywhere?
Hey, at least he can hit…
[Reply]
June 15th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
@Grey
Yeah, didn’t think so either.
Would have had to drop Galarraga to pick him up. Not a good call.
[Reply]
June 15th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Offered Hamilton for Utley… Hoping he accepts, right???
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:34 am
@yak: he wont.
Got offered Rollins for Tejada and Billingsley…..good move?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:43 am
Still on the 2B hunt. How about the aforementioned George and Bruce + K Johnson for Uggla & Lyon?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:50 am
@Steve: u should give alexi casilla a shot if hes available
[Reply]
Grey – stop hating on my boy Posada. he’s seeing the ball great. ton of walks. hitting wiht power. and has a hot wife (http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5861/posadswifemm8.jpg).
hip hip jorge!
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 5:31 am
My trade for CC comes at the best possible time…..because I get to drop Owings in the process.
I’m not ready to roster Campillo yet but he’s definitely a watch list guy as is Parra, who I’m picking up for Wednesday against Toronto at home.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:10 am
@everyone: I am spot starting Andrew Miller today and Kenny Rogers tomorrow, any thoughts on my decision?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:21 am
@Zebo: You’re obviously a gambler but both seem like logical spot starts.
You’d think Miller should be pretty good against Seattle since he’s been pitching decently against good offensive teams lately.
Kenny Rogers is an emotion guy and the feeling in Detroit is pretty strong right now and SF isn’t exactly the top offense in the NL but he is going h2h with Jonathan Sanchez who’s been very good lately….especially at home.
My opinion: Miller, yes. Rogers, no.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:59 am
Hey, does anyone think that Chase Headley can spell Kevin Kouzmanoff enough times at 3B to become eligible at 3B for next season?
It’s a Yahoo! league so he only needs 5 starts. Headley may be keeper material for me if he can be a 3B/OF.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 7:27 am
@Frank Rizzo: I know, I don’t like Rogers personally, but there aren’t that many good matchups for tomorrow, and I need to catch up on wins and lower my ratios, because of the failings of Verlander, Harang and Owings.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 7:42 am
@Zebo: Don’t know if it makes you feel any better but Rotoworld supports you decision…
Tuesday, 6/17 – Kenny Rogers @ SF – Rogers has been on a hot streak of late, allowing just three runs in his last 29 innings. While that’s unlikely to continue for the rest of the season, Kenny has three things going for him in this start: it’s in San Francisco, he’ll be facing pitchers, and he’ll be facing the Giants.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Kinda of a random question, but has anyone compared Bruce/Braun over their first 76AB? Small sample size, but damn, their stats are almost identical. Given the WHIFF Rate, could that be that similar?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 9:06 am
pretty big trade I need some help with this one.
Offer 1– I recieve Rollins and Torii Hunter for Billingsley, Tejada and Rios
Offer 2– I receive Rollins for Hamels and Tejada
Keep in mind I also have Ryan Howard which makes Rollins even more enticing.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 9:17 am
@mike: It depends on the rest of your roster. Without knowing your roster both of these deals look bad for you to me. In both deals you are giving up major names/talent just for Rollins. Why do you want Rollins so bad over Tejada for starters?
[Reply]
@Adam: Headley will definitely get 5 starts at 3B.
@mike: I like offer 1 a bit more. You upgrade on two positions (I find Hunter to be more consistent than Rios) and Billingsley is a fair price for the upgrade. Offer 2 has an upgrade but Hamels is a steep price for it…
href=”#comment-6678″>Zebo: Interleague is a good time to spot start. Agree with Frank Rizzo that Rogers is a gamble…if Scott Olsen is available, I’d take him instead….
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 9:29 am
My team
C-Pierzynski
1B-Howard SP1-Hamels
2B-Kinsler SP2-Wainwright
3B-Aramis SP3-Billinglsey
SS-Tejada SP4-Jered Weaver
OF1-Crawford SP5-Oswalt
OF2-Markakis SP6-McGowan
OF3-Rios SP7-Chris(leaky Brain) Young
UTIL1-Berkman SP8-Parra
UTIL2-Alexi Casilla or Double E (platoon)
Im looking to do offer 1 more because I love Hamels and really dont wanna move him.
Tejada has been good for me but Rios is pissin me off and im hurting a little in HR lately, I figure Hunter is a more steady source of HR over Rios.
Thanks guys I appreciate the advice
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 9:29 am
Just pulled a David Murphy for Rich Harden trade.
Thoughts?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 9:55 am
@Frank Rizzo: I figure Tejada and Rollins can both crack 30 HR while Rollins is a big boost in SB.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:00 am
@mike: Good grief dude. Your team is stacked top to bottom. You must be in 1st place. You didn’t give your pitching staff but I agree with Rudy….trade #1 could help you with an upgrade at SS and a slight upgrade at OF. Depending on your rotation, Billingsley might be expendable but I wouldn’t give away an ace like Hamels unless there were top 10 guys being mentioned.
You’re right about Rollins in the SB department and probably R’s as well. I believe Tejada will outdo Rollins in the RBI category for obvious reasons but with your lineup, RBI’s shouldn’t be a major problem. Then again, with Kinsler, Crawford, and Rios I doubt you’re hurting too much in the SB department.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:03 am
@Freak: I love the trade but I go nuts for pitching maybe more than some others.
You got a stud SP for a guy you picked up off waivers. Harden’s obviously an injury risk but so far so good and he’s been lights out on every outing. Murphy is very hot at the moment but I doubt you were completely dependant on him in your OF. Good trade.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:04 am
@Frank Rizzo: believe it or not Im in 3rd, which is why I am angry and looking to make a move. Just looking at my team I thought Id be a lock for first. My pitching is listed right next to my hitters.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:27 am
@mike: Sorry, I totally missed that. I think I was just so amazed at your offense that I didn’t even realize that pitchers were listed next to them.
You may be talking to the wrong guy (since I love pitching) but I don’t think I would make the move if it included giving up Billingsley. Your offense is absolutely stellar while you’ve got questions in your pitching….Wainwright, Oswalt, Weaver, Young, Parra. Billingsley isn’t fantastic but you can’t argue with the K’s. Averaging over a K per inning is pretty decent in my book.
I’d hold if I were you unless you could make a trade without losing on your pitching staff. It’s hard for me to believe you’ll stay in 3rd place with that offensive fire power.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:33 am
@Rudy & @Frank Rizzo: Ok, i am starting to get a little scared by Kenny Rogers, but a dude just picked up Scott Olsen for his spot start, now I am thinking about Manny Parra against Toronto, or I can go Livan Hernandez against Washington. Which one do you all like better?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:35 am
@Frank Rizzo: thanks for the advice dude, Ive got some thinking to do…..and lay off the fava beans! haha.. the jerky boys are great. At least thats where im thinking you got the Frank Rizzo reference from.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 11:46 am
@Zebo: I picked up Parra myself for a spot start Tuesday. Look at what he’s done in his 2 past starts at home against Houston and Arizona and consider he’s pitching against Toronto’s meager offense. You’re always taking a chance that it could blow up but the numbers show it’s a great matchup to me. I’d stay far away from Livan personally.
@mike: Rizzo does come from the jerky boys, nits. Classic stuff.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
@Zebo. Parra no doubt.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
****Wang out six weeks and possibly for season****
Fuckin great! Perfect example of y pitchers shouldnt be hitting and running bases! stupid ass NL bullshit!
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Dude says he is looking to trade excess starting pitching and needs OF, C, SS among other things. I offer Uncle Miltie and Jorge for Lackey….he’s still got Marcum, Kazmir, F. Hernandez and Saunders. Sounds fair, right?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Just need some affirmation- drop Hermida for Pence, yeah?
Also, got 3 1B options (Berkman, AGonz & CJack), no dependable 3B- offer Berk for ARod?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
@ Dim — I would grab Pence for Hermida and if you can turn Berkman into A-Rod you are exec of the year! I think Berkman’s done most of his damage…his value can’t get any higher, A-Rod hasn’t even started yet.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I have the best girlfriend, and she loves baseball. Just the other day she was giving me a B.J. Upton, when she begged for A-Rod. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before I left my Nick Markakis all over her Brandon Backe. But that wasn’t even enough, she wanted more! So I J.D. Drew my Shaun Marcum all over her Chase Headley. Then she got Derek Lowe and spread her Brian McCann. I was just about Adam Dunn, when she suddenly hopped off my Kerry Wood. I told her to grab my Randy Johnson and when she said Hideo Nomo, I kicked her out on the Huston Street.
Wow, I need to actually do work when I am at work.
Sorry in advance for that.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Apparently that trade offer was not perceived as fair….rejected w/o a counter. Oh well, I’ll just continue to enjoy Uncle Miltie’s ridiculous numbers and hope Jorge heats up and stays healthy (I just dropped Navarro — couldn’t carry two catchers anymore).

@SaltyBiscuits:
Ha!
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
@mike: Maybe if he wasn’t a pussy he could figure out how to run the bases.
Let me put it this way…if you’re a baseball player and you can’t run the bases, you shouldn’t be allowed to play baseball anymore.
If anything is “bullshit” it is the DH. Such a terrible, awful, silly rule.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
@SaltyBiscuits:……and like the Yankees you’re left with an unhappy Chien-Ming Wang.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
@Freak: ZERO!….pitchers pitch!! hitters hit!! Every time a pitcher comes up to the plate it takes away from the game. Too many easy outs. The DH saves players career’s….so what exactly are you talking about?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
@ FrankRizzo
Hahahaha, perfect.
Good thing my Rich Harden isn’t Aaron Small. She also loves when I pound her Bartolo Colon.
This is getting out of hand.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
@ wakeNbake
The only real baseball played in the MLB is in the National League. Nine guys to a side. Pitchers are supposed to hit. That is how the game was played initially, and should be how it is played today.
Designated Hitters suck.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I turn into a Brandon Lyon whenever my girl lets me stick my Kelly Johnson in her Albert Pujols. She knows I be doin’ it and doin’ it and doin’ it Vernon Wells under the Ben Sheets. But if she doesnt use a Justin Duchscherer I wont touch her stank ass.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
@SaltyBiscuits: I totally disagree, think about it this way. Why should pitchers be forced to hit? Are hitters forced to pitch? NO! Why the double standard? Chien-Ming Wang made it to the majors because he throws a 94 MPP sinker not because he can hit a baseball.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
DH’s do not suck. Ill tell you what sucks…. watching a pitcher trying to hit a curveball. Thats what I call brutal.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
@Frank Rizzo & @JR: Parra is going against McGowan, who has actually looked better than Parra in the last few games. I don’t know. Anyway, why does Toronto have so many good pitchers, it’s as if you drafted only Toronto pitchers, you would probably league leaders in pitching.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
@Zebo: i’ve got parra as a starter on two teams. he’s been solid of late. i’d trust him against Toronto before Kenny Rogers….
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Should I do this trade?
I get: Lackey
I give: Doumit and Bruce
I have Soto already so I don’t have much use for Doumit. I’m in a keeper league and I like Bruce’s power potential. I’m currently lacking in wins and quality starts and have King Felix, Javier Vazquez, Chad Billingsley, and John Maine for pitching. Any thoughts about what I should do?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
@cruisinkc: yeh id do that move, especially if you have Soto anyway. Do it dude.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
@everyone: at this point, is it better to go with spot starters or Liriano? I am curious because one guy in my league just picked up Liriano. So he went the Liriano strategy, I went the spot starter strategy.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
To me Liriano is more risky however he could pay big deividends, way more than spot starters. Sry I guess im giving you the answer you dont wanna hear. Liriano- higher risk/higher reward VS. spot starters- lower risk/lower reward.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Dont forget that pre-surgery Liriano was pitching better than Johan Santana at one point when they were on the same team. If hes even 90% back hes still real good.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
well i asked because I thought for a moment about playing nasty fantasy ball. i.e. picking up Liriano and dropping him right after, hence always putting him on waivers instead of free agent pool, wash, rinse, repeat. Make someone expend their waiver claim (which I assume they would be more hesitant to do). But I decided not to, since most people in my league are my friends.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
@ WakeNBake
Why should pitchers hit? Because that is baseball. That is how major league baseball was played since its inception in 1871. The DH was manufactured in 1973. The DH was instituted to artificially enhance offense in baseball. It changed the way the game had been played for over a century.
It has nothing to do with a double standard. In the sport of baseball, each team’s lineup has 9 players, and all 9 of those players are supposed to both field and hit.
American League baseball is not real.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Guys – sorry to interrupt, but what do you think about Bruce + Renteria for Tejada?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
@SaltyBiscuits: Just beacause thats how it was started doesnt mean its the right way and should never be changed.
The origianl United States Constitution allowed people to own slaves, does that mean its right beacsue thats how it was 100′s of years ago, NO!
Baseball should change with the times, Just like football where Offense and Defense are done by seperate players. Its a specialty to either hit or pitch. Just because you are great at one doesnt mean you can do the other. So to me American league baseball is modern better baseball, National league baseball is old and out dated. Catch up with the times already.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
@ mike
Wow.
So pitchers hitting = slavery? Amazing analogy.
Baseball should change with the times? What the hell does that mean? “The times” weren’t the reason the DH was created. It was the greedy owners who wanted more Home Runs and as a result, greater attendance. National League baseball has more managerial strategy involved because it requires better management of your bench players.
So because Football has different Offensive and Defensive players that means Baseball should too? What about Basketball? They play both. Maybe we should put hoops in the outfield? Baseball players play the field (pitcher is just another position, albeit unique) and hit. That is what baseball players do. That is what you did in little league.
[Reply]
@Steve: I want Tejada.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
@Grey: Thanks, Grey. Will offer it up and see what happens.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
@SaltyBiscuits: basketball players have no choice, what are they gonna do substitute every player after every basket? Theres a big difference between little leage and professional baseball. In little league you play both because you are learning the game. I assume every MLB player has full knowledge of how to play already. They are professional pitchers, P-I-T-C-H-E-R-S what does that have to do with hitting? Im glad you liked the analogy.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 3:50 pm

Offer 1– I recieve Rollins and Torii Hunter for Billingsley, Tejada and Rios
Offer 3- I receive Rollins for Tejada and Billingsley
Keep in mind I also have Ryan Howard which makes Rollins even more enticing.

@All……….Wow
Getting brutal in here.
Gotta side with Salty on this. Ask any pitcher, they love to help themselves, moving runners over, hit and run with the infield in, etc. Batting eighth? Eh, not so much.
The AL instituted the DH because “chicks dig the long ball” since dinosaurs and Jamie Moyer ruled the earth.

[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Asked on the forum but never got an opinion.
Iannetta or Flores?
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
@BigFatHippo: iannetta if he gets the full time job, definetely.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
@NYY whatever
Hamels, Wainwright and Owings would disagree but a Colon with a bat in his hands? I can only think of 1 place he should stick that.
If Iannetta isn’t full time, isn’t Flores more valuable? I’ve been struggling at the position all year.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
@SaltyBiscuits: I wonder if you change your opinion after watching Bartolo Colon flail at Cole Hamels change-ups tonight, like he was some dude who won an at-bat through a radio contest.
Not that I mind: I own Hamels.
However they did it in oldy times, watching pitchers hit sucks. Also sucking: Interleague play.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
@BigFatHippo: not necesarrily, depends what you need. If you need HR Napoli is good to have and he shares time but I waived bye-bye to him long ago. Take a look at Olivo if hes available if not id take a shot on iannetta hes really crackin the ball lately.

June 16th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

@BigFatHippo: I could’ve sworn I answered this. I’d go with Flores for now.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:12 pm
@wakeNbake: see second item on this page.
@Baron Von Vulturewins: Bartolo Colon looked awesome. If he made contact it would have been a home run.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
@Freak: i fully understood what u meant, i didnt need the definition.
Colon needed a chin strap , every time he swung his helmet went farther than the ball
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Already have Iannetta, just trying to get better long term.
Been playing Yadi because I’m 9 out of 10 possible roto pts in Ks, now he’s hurt.
Napoli, Olivo NA in my league as everyone carrying 2 Cs trying to keep them away from me.
Thanks for input from a new voice.
[Reply]
June 16th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
@Grey
Flores get more PT I take it?
Done, I’m gonna drop Yadi and keep Iannetta too.
thanks, close call between the 3 in our setup
