I like the way you think. Done. Appreciate the advice.

@Steve: Yup @Bill Lumbergh: Yeah @emceeperiod: Try Volquez, no risk, no reward.

(obviously that is a high WHIP I projected, hoping you’ll say it will be lower. It’s not a must that I stream, but…sort of enticing against the D’Backs.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! GreY! Tulo is killing me this week. Thinking about streaming Volquez tomorrow against the D’Backs…I’m up in WHIP but down in ERA. You think he’ll ruin my WHIP? Does this line sound right?:

6 IP, 6K, 3BB, 9H?

You think he’ll do better or worse or is this about right?

My only other options are Westbrook or nobody. Looking for low WHIP, high K’s, and a W. Don’t care about ERA.

Thanks!

@Grey: Given Hughes’ declining performance, I’m thinking that I’ll be keeping the likes of Hudson & Chacin rather than Phil in my 12 team H2H keeper league. Am I crazy to do so?

@Grey: Hunter has stolen everyone else's run support on that team.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 05:26:01 +0000

@Steve: It's really bad, but then I was looking at Colby Lewis who is on a good team and he's under .500, so there's that. @ASAOK: Takahashi

Need to drop a closer for some streamers on the weekend. Would you drop takahashi or papelbon?

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 05:19:21 +0000

@Grey: Yeah - there's been no joy in Winville for him. At least his loss didn't count against you, though...

@Steve: Can't believe Bills can't get a win.

By: Steve

@Grey: Thanks – I’ll start Erv in H2H too. Think my ratios lead is solid enough to cope with it.

And great call on Romo for Holds yesterday.

BTW – I cussed out Ethier about an hour ago in the match-up smack talk box…

Got it

@Ruah: Sorry, that's confusing. No on Swisher, yes on Betemit.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 04:57:09 +0000

@Ruah: Yup

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 04:56:37 +0000

@Steve: I'd start them both. They're good matchups. @Ruah: Nope

By: Ruah

Ruah — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 04:54:23 +0000

And from above, you like Betemit over Peralta at 3B?

By: Ruah

Ruah — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 04:51:58 +0000

With Swisher getting the needle and apparently ready to go this weekend, is he a better play than Luke Scott down the stretch. Swish was dropped and comes off WW tonight.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 04:09:52 +0000

@Steve: Or not. @Grey: Starting Bills and Cain today in the keeper will put me further over the IP limit. Have Lilly and Erv-San at my disposal tomorrow. What do you think? Lilly's been meh lately and Erv-San's record against the Tribe is awful. Come to think of it, should I start Erv in my H2H semi? To save you running all over the Razzball campus, I'm down 6-4 in wins, down 60-52 in Ks and have nice leads in ERA and WHIP (my opponent has no starters going tomorrow).

C’mon A’s – double steal!

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:49:00 +0000

@Steve: Yeah, real sneaky. @DrEasy: Damn... @aj: Drop Anderson if you need saves and are fine with SPs, but Sale entered the game in the 6th tonight. It isn't as clear cut as Ozzie made it seem yesterday. EDIT: Word

By: aj

aj — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:32:48 +0000

Who do drop for sale? Im chasing saves. I have Hamilton and Gardner on by bench because of injury. I’d probably keep Hamilton next year so i dont want to waive him.
Drew Storen, Brandon Lyon, Joel Hanrahan, Jorge De La Rosa, Juan Gutierrez, Brett Anderson,

@3FingersBrown: Yeah, go for Pelfrey. @Eddie: Zimmermann

By: Eddie

Eddie — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 02:43:02 +0000

With my season on life support, who do you like better as a keeper for next season: Daniel Hudson, or Jordan Zimmermann? Hudson has been TEH BALLZ, but Zim has the better pedigree, and his control should be better 6 more months removed from Tommy John surgery.

@Grey: With Cahill getting smacked around, I’ve lost my lead in ERA/WHIP and I’m tied for W/QS… I’m thinking of going with an extra pitcher to win the countings stats (I’m up K’s) instead of a bat, since it sounds like I’ll get back both Swish and Gardner for the Baltimore series on Friday.

Take Pelfrey home against Pitt tomorrow instead of Walker? I’m thinking Pelf could turn in a quality start and Mets should win at home against the Bucs.

@Steve: Ha! Going for the Kazaam...
