@Mr Baseball, Logan and Wade will work the 8th based on matchups, it seems.

@Ryan, Shark, but he may have an innings cap of 180 or so.

Moose Tacos! Thanks.

Thanks!

@Junior Ortiz, Haren for Aramis is better than giving up Gio for Moose Tacos

@KCJordan, Santiago is the better pitcher, but Balfour has a more sane manager.

@wakeNbake, It’s possible, but he doesn’t have a strikeout pitch and he has control problems.

I am in a cutthroat 13 team AL-only league. Was just offered my Hector Santiago for his Grant Balfour; who ends up with more saves?

p.s. I am in 2nd place and have not even accumulated one single freakin’ save! Oh curses.

Do you think Jenry Mejia goes into the starting rotation when the Mets activate him from the DL in a week or so?

Junior Ortiz — Tue, 15 May 2012 04:27:07 +0000

Thanks. Is it more worthwhile than swapping Gio Gonzalez for Mike Moustakas?

@Junior Ortiz, Selling slightly low on Haren, but if you need a 3B more than you do pitching, it’s not a bad deal.

@Eddie, I agree. I think there might something up with mechanics or he may be hurt. He’s got the worst first pitch strike% of all guys in MLB qualified for the ERA title, and his velocity is down.

If I didn’t pick up Ryan Roberts, is trading Dan Haren to get Aramis Ramirez a good idea?

There is no top end SP more frustrating to own than Yovani Gallardo.

@WhineSpritzer, What do you think about this trade offer? Hosmer/Lynn for Dan Murphy/Hamels. (I’m last in BA and first in HR so trying to help a weakness)

@artie, I am, and I’m crossing my fingers and hoping for the best since it’s his first start off the DL. I’m also hoping he doesn’t throw a no hitter or anything though since I dropped him as soon as rosters locked for Capuano.

By: Feeding the Abscess

Feeding the Abscess — Mon, 14 May 2012 22:59:39 +0000

@artie, He probably won’t go long since it’s his first start, but you might as well in a deep league.

Anyone starting Stauffer in Washington?

Deeper league FYI

Duffy is out for the year with a torn UCL. And the Royals bad luck continues.

@Tom Thumb, Tulo’s the winner but it’s not veto-worthy or anything.

Thoughts on this trade in a league counting XBH OBP QS?

Tulowitzski, Duda, Verlander, Bell for Andrus, Ethier, Haren, Jansen

@Hunter, Not completely, but it does help your case.

By: Feeding the Abscess

Feeding the Abscess — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:53:39 +0000

@Joan Chen, I agree, but I see the rationale for the deal. He needs depth, and Halladay turned 35 today and has experienced a significant drop in his velocity.

By: Hunter

Hunter — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:50:36 +0000

@Feeding the Abscess, The reason I considered th trade was because I didn’t realize till now, but our league has an insane 2000IP cap. So I’m figured in this league, it might work out a bit better especially as regarded the counting stats.

Does that change the dynamics of the trade at all?

By: Joan Chen

@Feeding the Abscess, It’s fair, but I always like to be on the one side of a two for one, especially involving first round talent.

@Jay, Hosmer has higher upside but is struggling against the infield shift. Cuddyer plays half his games in Coors and can play OF and even 2B in some leagues, too. Cuddyer

@Hunter, It’s fair. You’re losing the best player in the deal and you could possibly get someone a bit better than Latos, but you’re gaining the clear 2 and 3.
