@The Gipper: You asked the same question yesterday. I'd still want Joba.

Trade Joba & throw in his drug dealing mom for Lester? Is that enough?

@Coby DuBose: Thanks and nice trade!

Big fan of your work, my friend.

Just wanted to let you know that today I successfully pulled off a Matt Harrison and Shairon Martis for Jon Lester trade.

Why did I have Harrison and Martis, you ask? It’s a h2h points league, and I rode these shitbags to lots of points.

@Infamous: June @NinjaSpaz: I wouldn't pick him up if you have a move max.

So, you sound pretty high on Gerardo Parra (or maybe it’s crystal meth). Both Upton and Byrnes are starting to produce and the D-bags have a lot of money invested in Krispie Young. Do you think it’s likely that Parra will continue to get playing time in the long run?

I’m mostly asking because we have a limit on add/drops (40), so I need to be conservative with the moves and play for the long term.

@: haha me either, thanks. I have Weiters sitting on my bench, when do you think he’s going to be called up and is it worth keeping him there.

@Infamous: Either one is fair. I don't want Baker, so getting rid of him is a bonus.

By: Infamous

Infamous — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:37:00 +0000

Or Hart/Baker for Lester

By: Infamous

Infamous — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:35:56 +0000

Hart for Lester?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 18 May 2009 06:15:51 +0000

@Prince: That order makes sense. @Steve: Eh, I'd play Abreu over Hart, but Hart should have trade value when he starts playing to his potential. Guess you can lose the Dribble then. @RT: He just doesn't seem like he's going to get the playing time. @Nick: Don't think you have room at this point in a ten team league. @Rob: I doubt he's the real deal, but I don't see how you can sell him either. I mean, I don't think anyone's buying him.

By: Rob

Rob — Mon, 18 May 2009 04:30:17 +0000

is hill the real deal or is it better to sell high on him? if so, what is his worth?

Tnx

@Grey: Wow so Uggla, Branyan & Alexei Ramirez was just dropped. I have Utley at 2B, Lowell & Aramis at 3B, Reyes at SS and Ibanez Hunter BJ Upton in OF and Pena on UT (Pence on bench) so with 4 relievers Franklin, Jenks, Hoffman & Downs do you drop one for Alexei? I have 6 on waiver (10 team league)

@Prince: They're not alone in doing that! Sweating on the turnaround, obviously...

By: RT

RT — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:41:40 +0000

When is it time to give up on Shoppach actually playing. In a deep league, it’s a drop that could come back to bite you in the arse.

By: Prince

Prince — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:40:56 +0000

@Steve: Aren't Drew and Alexei at SS/MI hurting you? Infidels indeed ...

By: RT

RT — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:40:32 +0000

@Prince: I'd do Peralta. Slow start, but the sample size is there. My 2 cents.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:39:19 +0000

@Grey: @BigFatHippo: Ha! The league is pretty active so if you use a high waiver pick, chances are you'll be back up there in a couple of weeks. I play Cano @ 2B, Drew @ SS and Alexei @ MI. Weeks is in the mix too so even without the Dribble I have one too Middle Infidel too many. I usually use Swish at CI, but he could be expendable if Gamel gets worthwhile PT. Finally, starting Hart (if I get him) would send Abreu to the bench. In a league that counts OBP and hitters Ks, do I even need Hart?

By: Prince

Prince — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:27:55 +0000

@Grey: In the order I'd think of taking them, Drew or Peralta, Escobar, Zobrist, Hairston, Burriss. Of course at this point Drew would be killing me too ... Still, the list points to how shallow my league is

@Grey: Nah, just drunken stupidity. Hippo out!

@Prince: What's out there to replace him with?

By: I'm Keith Hernandez

I'm Keith Hernandez — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:05:57 +0000

@VanHammerslyI think they are roughly the same pitcher in value.

By: Prince

Prince — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:05:07 +0000

I’ve got Alexei in my lineup every day (no bench space) and it’s killing me. How long would be reasonable to hold onto him?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 18 May 2009 03:01:42 +0000

@matthole: I'd want Utley in both of those. @BigFatHippo: Ah... I see what is going on. You mention him knowing Steve is above you in the waiver order so Steve grabs him before you and uses his waiver pick, or is it reverse-reverse psychology? Hmm... @Steve: Lose Dribble if he's a bench player. Not sure where you're playing all of those guys though. @VanHammersly: I'd want Braun there. @Bazooka Baseball: You shouldn't drop McClouth for Cruz, but I do think you need a deeper/more competitive league.

By: VanHammersly

VanHammersly — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:48:19 +0000

@I’m Keith Hernandez: I agree completely; just wanted to make sure that the Weaver/Lester component was roughly fair, b/c Weaver's certainly not a Hawkins- or Bartlett-type. I still like it though. Thanks for the opinion.

By: Bazooka Baseball

Bazooka Baseball — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:43:16 +0000

Let me rephrase that, McLouth is my worst outfielder. Should I drop him for Nelson Cruz?

By: I'm Keith Hernandez

I'm Keith Hernandez — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:42:44 +0000

@VanHammersly: You are basically trading Crawford for Braun and looks like you should have plenty of steals without him. I like that trade for you.

By: Bazooka Baseball

Bazooka Baseball — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:42:28 +0000

Nate McClouth is my worst 2 outfielders and Nelson Cruz just got dropped in my league (I know, it’s kind of a joke when Cruz is getting dropped) Should I drop one of them for Cruz???

By: VanHammersly

VanHammersly — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:40:18 +0000

@Grey: In a deep weekly H2H league, do you like this deal: I get Braun/Lester for Crawford/Jered Weaver.

My other SB guys are McLouth, Rollins, Bourn and Wright. My other SPs are Lincecum, Harang, Jobacum, Wainright, and Joba. I feel like now is the time to sell Crawford high, even if he does end up swiping 80 bags this year.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 18 May 2009 02:33:30 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Yeah, that's true I guess. As 10-teamers go it's pretty deep. Re: Hart - like I said, he should be owned. Thus - @Grey: Drop Swish or the Dribble to have a shot at Hart? I'm covered up the middle (Drew, Al-Ram, Cano, Weeks) and Swish is kinda my regular CI.
