I’d rather have Kemp/Tulo than some of those clowns (not that the Dread Pirate is a “clown”).

How many team league is this? I mean, if it’s a 10 team league, who cares about Wilson (and damn near, these days, even Garza)? You can pick up somebody from waivers who is probably about as good moving forward.

I got offered Tulo and Kemp for Mccutchen,Granderson,Cj Wilson, and Garza in one of my league. I posted in on a “You’re trade proposal sucks thread” and the owner is still trying to tell me that is was a fair offer, which i know is not anythig close to being true. Can someone do me a favor and write him a good response to just shut him up for once.

@Stephen: Thanks man, I reposted over there. Thanks for the advice, still pretty torn on both of those spots. I left Kelly on the bench yesterday for the first time this year and of course he had his best day. If I bench HanRam today, I'm sure he'll go 4/4 with 2 hrs, 2 2bs and 7 RBIS with 4 stolen bases.

@WDE05: Grey answers those questions in his articles. Personally, I would keep HanRam in the lineup and start Davis.

@KCC26:see above. Also, I have never liked Bedard.

Lineup questions:

Would you guys sit HanRam against Morton today? He’s in a serious rut and he’s 0-10 for his career against Morton. My alternative would be Asrubal (Hochevar).

At utility, Kelly Johnson (Arroyo) or Ike Davis (Norris)? KJ had a good game yesterday and he’s hit Arroyo well in his career so I’m inclined to go with him, but Norris has been pretty bad thus far.

@mj: They have more experience in the majors and thus the Indians don’t have to rush Kipnis. Long-term, they don’t do much. However, in the near future, they are players to worry about Kipnis leaping over.

I don’t see how Donald & Valbuena are going to block Kipnis much. Neither of them project as more than a utility infielder at best (and thats being generous to Valbuena) and both are fighting for at bats in Columbus right now. Orlando Cabrera is just a stopgap until Kipnis has a full year of AAA under his belt.

@Tom Thumb: No.

@Alpine McGregor: re:Kipnis would be a working-class (blue-collar) Pedroia. Which in its self is an oxymoron.

I took a shine to Kipnis and picked him up for a buck in a keeper league, though I also have Espinosa (and Utley on the DL). With his doubles power, ASU pedigree and consistently high OBPs, is it ridiculous to hope that he’ll be a middle-class man’s Pedroia?

Hey guys,

Would you move Holliday + Hill + Cliffly for Kinsler + Longo + Ubaldo?

think chisenhall could contribute in a 12-team mixed league this year once he’s called up?
