They’re all risky. But Richard, Hudson then Carrasco, in that order.

@Jay: Diaz could stay hot through the end of the season. Yes, it’s Marmol.

@spencer: I’d go with Bailey first, but I wouldn’t start any of those guys.

or maybe Homer Bailey…he’s facing the Pirates.

Bannister?

Solid day today with Wolf, Bailey, Guttierez, Wuertz and Mijares so ratios good.

I don’t see him being used at 1B. He’s probably safe to drop then, right?

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AnAIUtFNekUfdc.tWHmXBMURvLYF?slug=ap-dodgerstrades&prov=ap&type=lgns

What does that do to Thome’s fantasy value? An owner wants to know.

Got Sanchez @ Philly and Pineiro v Brewers to choose from tomorrow. The latter? Or is Sanchez worth a shot against all those left-hand bats?

But Vazquez is solid and probably will go in at least the 8th round next year. Probably earlier, but it still doesn’t make Vazquez safer than a hitter.

@Martin: I would drop him, yup.

But he’s had so little playing time lately, I couldn’t be sure he’d get the start.

That said Suzuki has fit right into my team, his 0-3 cnotributing handily to a 3-25 day.

@Grey:

not to beat a dead horse , and i’m certainly NO expert , but ,
re: vazquez :
a) not my favorite SP
b) locking up 180 + K’s in the 8th round (repeat …. 8th round ??)
c) no “c”
d) yep , this time , there’s a “d” ….
if you don’t take vazquez in the 8th , are you guys selecting a SP earlier ? and who might you be targeting . or expect to be available ?

e) ‘member that shizz about adam jones running ??
(he meant NEXT year) .

You gotta stock up on the doubleheader guys, but I’m having a hard time remembering if it’s ever really worked out for me in a big way.
