Grey, I just want to make sure you have Coghlan ranked after Kubel, Bruce, Beltran, Jones, Beckham. As always thanks for your help

@Grey re: Delphic Oracle: She (I imagine her for some reason as a mustachioed lady) hung out in a cave in the mountains in ancient Greece and dispensed wisdom to all comers, some recos easier to parse than others (Croesus lost his empire because he misinterpreted her advice). Later research indicated her cave may actually have been home to a petroleum seep, and she was high on gas fumes all day, which lent her prophecies a certain vagueness. Of course, we’ve made plenty of advances in 2500 years–glue-huffing is much more sanitary, and Razzball advice is crystalline.

In a 12 team AL only h2h league, I have 99 of my 100 FAAB dollars left, and Haren just hit the wire. Should I go all in on Haren, or wait and hope that Fielder winds up with the White Sox? Haren would join Buchholz, Slowey, Hughes, Liriano and Gio (or I’d drop one of them). I currently have Ortiz at 1B, but he could move to Util.

Thanks.

Rasmus has been terrible for good month now. I need to drop someone to activate V-Mart soon, and eventually Brett Anderson if he turns out ok. Beckham is one I’m sure to drop at this point and I can’t think of anyone besides Rasmus to drop unless Edinson V. sucks again in his next start. That said, Rasmus is very streaky. Would you recommend waiting for him to get hot again then trading him after I get a good chunk of the hot streak, and that way I can avoid enduring another month of uselessness? Or would you just drop him to activate V-Mart or Anderson?

@Grey: Write even… Hey would you pick up any of these guys over Austin Kearns:

Omar Infante
Bourgeois Pig
Mike Morse
Mike Saunders
Chris Ianetta (I’m -21 games played at catcher and have Smooth and Castro now – 2 C’s)

I need speed but there aren’t any good options available Bourgeois’ got a lousy .294 OBP. OBP would help too. My roto team’s mired in 6th, 24 points from the top.

@3FingersBrown: I tend to agree with him. You need someone to throw garbage innings to save their young arms and someone who won't need a closer because he won't be winning. @Mark Geoffriau: No on Hughes... I'd lose Gutierrez. He's pretty much death. But if Borbon's a bench player, no reason for him either.
