@Grey: I like Danks a lot too, but I'd feel a lot better about him if he's still producing after his BABIP comes up (currently .157, LOWEST in the majors). P.S. Edwin Jackson is number two at .163

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I like this game. For my equivalent set, named Josincematimir Reyieldollidero, I get: .264/16 R/3 HR/26 RBI/ 3 SB, with a DL stint thrown in for good measure. Times are tough.

@Tom: Get Rasmus. @Jasonbayniac: Nice! @elRioCaballo: You don't want Lester. Victorino should get Liriano. ********If your comment isn't about this post, there's a new post up.

so i was told yesterday my pitching is weak, which it is when J.Johnson n Danks r my aces in a 10 team points league. So i’m shopping around and i have some1 willing to give up Lester for my Ethier/GalarRags.. but i’m pushing Cruz/GalaRags instead.

should i keep pushin, and if it doesnt pan out give in with Ethier??

and is Victorino enough to get Liriano?

i have Rios, Kemp, Hermida as my other OF.

I think i’m addicted to trading..at least 3 more

I would rant about one of my hitters.. but RIOS is finally coming around..hope i didn’t just jinx myself

I have an open spot due to injury. I also havy Salty at catcher, and a slight need for saves. With that said, do I grab

Andy LaRoche (I like the slight turnaround he’s made), Hawkins (yuck), Jose Guillen (lame), Ramon Hernandez, or wait a day and get Rasmus when he’s off waivers.

re: liriano’s monthly averages, and needing some time to get going: just looked this up.

april this year: bad.
april 2008: 11.32 ERA in three starts fresh off TJ. didn’t show up in the majors again until august. footnote: lit up in 2 of his last 3 starts.
april 2007: didn’t pitch all year.
april 2006: was still in the bullpen, only threw 14 innings all month (3.77, from one horrible 5 ER outing).

not sure that’s really a clear-cut trend of slow starts followed by may-june surges: in fact, it’s so not a trend, he’s never done that exact thing even once. first he was just good, in 2006. then he had surgery. then he tried to come back with different healthier mechanics, and he was bad. then he took two months off to get his old mechanics back and he was good again. now he’s bad. why? who knows. not me.
