@Sky: Garko already seems to be coming back from his tough start. Though Hafner I can't predict great things from, he's had problems with his shoulder since the beginning of the year and that's not the kind of thing you can come back from with a 2 week DL stint. He's probably going to be struggling all year. I'd try and trade him away for 50 cents on the dollar to someone that believes.

I am wondering what you think about Travis Hafner and Ryan Garko. Will Hafner bounce back from his atrocious start?

Should I hold on to these presently bum Tigers I have: Renteria, Cabrera, Ordonez? I like Ordonez and know Cabrera is a great hitter but Renteria scares me because he struggled so bad in the American league previously.

Obviously depends on your needs but Milledge is a better matchup.

Who would you start tomorrow – Bourn v Cards or Milledge v Marlins?

Hold onto Kemp for now. His value is low b/c he’s been benched twice.

I’d still rank him #1 on that list but he’s closer to the pack than opening day.

I’d rank the rest as McLouth, Gomez, Gutierrez, Pie.

McLouth is playing well and I think will get to 12 HR / 30 SB or something like that.

Gomez has great speed but that’s it. I can see him getting into a bad slump and being sent down. That said, I’m kicking myself for not dropping pierre on april 1st and picking up gomez instead.

Gutierrez is high on Grey’s list but I don’t think he projects to more than 15 HR / 10 SB this year. I prefer Melky to him.

I’m just going to avoid bad puns and say that Pie shouldn’t be considered outside NL-only leagues right now.

Can you rank these outfielders for me in terms of overall fantasy value?
Gomez, Pie, Gutierrez, McLouth, Kemp? Also should I drop Matt Kemp or should I try to trade him?

Sight unseen, I don’t like Blackburn at all. His minor league career isn’t very impressive. He got hit hard in AA in 2006 (4.43 ERA/1.35 WHIP) and, despite a very impressive ERA/WHIP in AAA in 2007 (2.11 ERA/0.98 WHIP), he got VERY lucky with a .255 BABIP. His ERA should’ve been 3.62 which would equate to a 4.50+ ERA in MLB. Add to that only 57Ks in 110 2/3 IP. I’d prefer Slowey if I had to pick the lesser evil of the young twin pitchers.

Bill Hall. Man did he suck for me last year. He’s due for a turnaround this year and the stat line you put up there isn’t that far out of the realm. I think .265/20/75/5 is more likely though. If he had SS eligibility, I’d like him a lot more. With 3B and OF, I don’t have him as draftable on anything but Razzball. Anyone that has ever owned Hall can tell you this, when this guy is on a cold streak, he’s fuh-rigid….

Haven’t paid attention to Yost’s lineups but if Corey Hart hits like he’s projected to hit, he’ll be hitting 2nd or 5th in short order…

What are your thoughts on Bill Hall in deeper leagues? He is back at 3B this year, hitting behind Prince and Braun, ahead of Hart. That 35 HR season looks like a fluke, but he could get plenty of RBI chances hitting 5th or 6th in that lineup. Could he post a .270/25/85/10 type season? His BB/K rate is ugly. I'm not asking because he lit up Jonathan Sanchez and the Giant pen today. He's been on my radar since Ned Yost took a page out of Tonyball with his bizzaro lineup card. Why is Corey Hart not hitting 2nd or 5th? That is more of a rhetorical question. Herb Urban's last blog post..“Mexican whore houses, Pesky Pole, Dr. Drew Pinksy”

He did look good and I considered adding him, but he seems destined to be the first one demoted. I will be watching closely in his next jaunt to the mound, since they develop pitchers extremely well in that organization.

So what's your take on Blackburn? He looked awesome the other day even if he did get the loss. His control is pinpoint and he sort of reminds me of Maddux with a livelier fastball (93mph) Kyle James's last blog post.. - Braves vs Mets, Game 1

Gordon sucks donkey balls, but I say you still have to hold onto to him for another day or two until Lidge pitches. Gregg won’t be available in any league.

Tom Gordon caused me the playoffs last year with his bum self. If I where any Fantasy manager I would pass go and forget about the $200 and drop his behind. See if Kevin Gregg from the fish is available. Young Online Millionaire's last blog post..It’s All About the Attitude!
