Out of those names? I’d say Davis. I can’t really see a player sustaining any kind of success with a 4.3 BB% combined with a 28.0 K%.

Also, I’m leaning towards Bauer over Matusz. Who do you like better for the rest of the season? Thanks.

With Venable going out with an oblique strain, I would wait until there’s more information on that injury. That being said, it comes down to what you need.

I actually see Wainwright and Garcia as more of a wash. I would lean towards Wainwright slightly, but Garcia is pretty darn good, even if I don’t believe in his current HR/9.

That being said, I think if I were you, I’d stay put or hold out for something better.

I’m going to keep doing the same thing and let the chips falls as they may. Hopefully they are tortilla chips with melted Jack Cheese.

Can we at least agree that Jack Cheese is awesome?

Quick question while we’re talking about pitching: I’ve been offered Adam Wainwright and Will Venable for Adam Dunn and Jaime Garcia. Venable is a wash as I don’t really need him at all. I’m trying to see what else I could squeeze into it, but I’m really thinking about accepting.

What do you think? Is Dunn going to keep this up?

Grey’s writing is 50% jokes, 50% info. Beautiful. This was 4 pages of bad Grey-imitation material, and maybe 1% info. And that’s giving you the benefit of the doubt, because honestly who would read trough all this nonsense just to hear maybe Matusz will be good and maybe he won’t.

However, as much as I like Matusz, I think pitching in the AL East evens things out between the two. Matusz is the smart play if you want to build something for the future, but if you are trying to win now, Oswalt could help you.

I like Volquez for his K potential and pitching in Petco, but its only a matter of time before he gets traded. Paulino’s good too.

The only guys I wouldn’t bother with are Petitte and Bass. If that’s Freddy Garcia, yeah, nothing much there either.

I’m stuck with a bunch of nothing at SP thanks to injuries and flops. Would you advise picking up Matusz over any of these guys: Oswalt, Pettitte, Bass, Volquez or Paulino? I’ve also got Garcia (DL?), Fister (DL), Lynn (trying to trade), Feliz (DL) and Dempster.

EJ is somewhat useful for speed purposes if you are weak at the MI, and is definitely roster-able in a 16 team. However, I wonder how much playing time he gets when Longoria and Keppinger come back.

If you want to take a flyer on Matusz, I have no problem with you dropping JPA at all (Depending on your other options if this is a 2 C league). He is power only, and very streaky at that. Its only a matter of time before d’Arnaud gets the call.

I totally agree with what my compatriot, Scott Evans, stated yesterday on the matter:

I think Worley is due for some regression (his FIP is over a full run higher, and his HR/9 is a little high for my tastes), but he still seems the most valuable of the group.

And no, I don’t forgive you.

After calling child services, I was rescued and released upon the Razzball populous. Grey kindly taught me math and literature. In return, I taught him how to hunt penguins and order Eskimo breast milk. It has been a genial relationship, to be sure.

I’ll leave the medical analysis to Rudy, but when it comes to my mother, she is proud. Even after all this… she is proud.

With Worley coming off the DL, who would you drop – Doumit, Arencibia, or Elliot Johnson?

Would you drop one more those guys for Matusz?

am sure your mom is wondering ‘why’ , if you’re such a good writer , you
don’t use your real name .
mom , if you’re reading this , it probably has something to do with the math that led up to the 568 home run figure , and wanting to protect the innocent .

also , mom , i’m sure you’re probably annoyed that your son used this
phrase ==> “we will drop through the atmosphere like airplane released doodie.” , and are wondering ‘who thinks like that ?!’ .
well , mom , let me just say that it IS a requirement of the job … and , actually , a pretty funny line , to boot .

jaywrong , (if that is your real alias) , am wondering what Rudy thinks of the dramatic increase in the number of junk pitches , and the wear it will
have on the kid’s elbow .
maybe , long-term , this kid ain’t long for this job ?

Man I need some food in my mouth.

I think there’s value there for a #3 OF depending on format, with extra points in OBP leagues.
