@Commie-tment Issues: Not just the best pitcher from a year ago, that was one of the best years by a closer. He's doesn't look the same on the mound, and first it was the ribcage injury to begin the season, and now elbow problems. Sadly enough, he's the least of their problems. They're already 19.5 out in the AL West (the AL West!!!), they suck at pitching, hitting, and defense, and Bedard/King Felix can't be too interested in signing up long term with the incredible front office there. Believe me, this whole season has been an endless kick in the balls throughout summer. I'll keep watching the games, yet I won't bother watching Norbit because that movie looks like a waste of time. What does that say about me? @Mike: Masterson has gotten pretty lucky to this point. He's a good pitcher, but left handed batters have hit him hard and drawn walks off him. Buchholz has pitched well lately in the minors, so you'd think eventually Buchholz to the rotation, and Masterson to the pen. I'd stick with Masterson for now, especially against lineups heavy with right handed hitters.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: Rudy does that shizz and he's been very busy. ****Take followups to the newest post.

Another fantasy roundtable and no Razzers. Did you get kicked out of the country club?

@Mike: I can't imagine the Red Sox will remove Masterson just to put in Buchholz, unless Masterson struggles then it might happen. Down the road, I think Buchholz will get the call to be a long reliever at some point then get the occasional fifth spot.

When is Clay Buchholz coming back…Boston has so many pitchers its hard to see where he would ever fit in unless a starter goes down. When Colon went down they called up Masterson tho…is Buchholz really behind Masterson on their depth chart?

@nick: I'd drop Wainwright before Krispie.

@Grey: I have Ortiz on the DL now, and Marcum & Zambrano are also on the DL I could drop Chris Young & pickup Guthrie and then I can leave Wainwright in there but I hope he will be back by the end of July otherwise I'm wasting space on my roster for a long time.

@Kevin: Konerko is marginal at this point. 1B is too deep. I think he's entered that Jim Edmonds Decline Phase, where sweet memories of yesteryear are all that keep people from seeing the stinkpile of Todayyear. @Bob: Thanks! 40 save lead? You love the saves even more than me, which is kind of like Count Dracula saying, 'Wow, that guy really likes blood.' @Mike: July 31. Don't hold your breath on a Fuentes trade. The classic "So-and-so closer will get traded to become a set-up man so you should get his back-up now" is a standby of Internet* fantasy chatter, but it rarely ever happens. Can you remember the last time an active closer got traded to a contender to become a set-up guy? Okay, Gagne. But who was the last one before that? I think MLB teams recognize what we fantasy players understand: Sometimes closers don't thrive in set up roles, just like vicey versey. Not saying Fuentes won't get traded, but if that's your Saves Plan B, you need a Plan L, son. *like how I called it the cap-I Internet? Yeah, I'm old.

@nick: Yeah, I'm worried Wainwright's going to have to work hard to have value in September at the earliest. I'd grab Guthrie or someone else. But I have Wainwright on the DL, haven't out right dropped him. Can't you DL him? As for Krispie, in an 8 team league, I could understand dropping him. I'm surprised to hear Sheff is the best guy to pick up though. @Commie-tment Issues: Prolly wants him to shut it down b/c the Mariners are so out of it this year. Why not have Putz come back rested for next year?

@Endless Summer: LOL! What kind of a fan are you? I mean maybe I'm not reading this correctly, but you want your best pitcher from a year ago to shut it down? F*cking why?!
