@Grey: I LOL’ed at the line not because he collects porn, but because how casually and how gratuitously the NYDaily News threw the line in there. It’s like writing in an article “Known for his penchant for shagging geriatric ladies past their prime, AROD hit his 716th homer today, surpassing Hank Aarons, otherwise best known for once giving Bob Uecker a sponge bath after losing a bet.”

@Steve: I hope so, re: Correia.

Steve — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:06:38 +0000

@Grey: Hmmm. Didn't quite work out. Frasor neither. On the bright side for you, my ignoring of Correia virtually guarantees he tosses a two-hitter.

@Martin: He's been great in the 2nd half. I'd start him vs. the Reds.

@Toffer Peak: Why do we have to be fair? No, you're right. I did. I believe I called him a rich man's Overbay. But still... As even said above, Lee stayed hot for two extra months than I thought he had.

To be fair you have also consistently compared DLee to Overbay many times this season.

@Grey: Thanks Grey! It looks like I'll be 2nd place heading into playoffs in my H2H league. At the end of the year it's usually better to have less hitters on my bench and more pitchers to rack up K's and W's. I might lose Rivera for Morrow or some other schmohawk pitcher.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:34:02 +0000

@Steve: Hopefully for tonight at least. @GTS: Drop Rivera if good on power, lose Coghlan if you're fine on Runs/Average.

By: GTS

GTS — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:32:14 +0000

I need to lose an OF: Hart, Rivera, or Coghlan (CI/OF). Advice?

@Grey: Starting Pavano feels so wrong it's just gotta be right.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:22:05 +0000

@Steve: I actually have Pavano going on one team too (and Correia on two), so I hope you're right.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 23:18:03 +0000

@Grey: Hmmm. Had to think for myself on this one. Went with Pavano. If you look at the two of ‘em their numbers are almost identical for the last 15 and 30 days (eerily so – look it up), so I went with the guy with the better offence.

And to add dumbness to stupidity, I got distracted and didn’t get Weaver out of my lineup in time. Could be an interesting day…

@Steve: Correia @Commish Cauda (formerly Mike): Richard

Commish Cauda (formerly Mike) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 22:38:19 +0000

Need some last minute starting pitching help. Pick ONE:

Wade Davis @BAL (Hendrickson)
David Huff @OAK (B. Anderson)
Clayton Richard @PIT (TBD)

Thanks.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:46:36 +0000

@Grey: Better spot start for today?

Pavano v Tribe
Correia v DBacks
Garland v Bucs

Would be sitting Weaver as per your recommendation above.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:07:54 +0000

@vinko: Sit him.

By: vinko

What would you do with Weaver tonight against the Yankees?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:01:46 +0000

@GTS: If you don't need steals or runs, sure.

Lose Theriot for Uribe?

Start De La Rosa this week @ SF, or James Shield home against Toronto?

By: Grey

@pallet: I would.

Start Nolasco @ STL?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:42:32 +0000

@Mr. Rickey: Uribe for pop, Bartlett for any modicum of speed.

By: Mr. Rickey

Mr. Rickey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:41:08 +0000

Uribe or Bartlett this week?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:55:56 +0000

@Mr. Rickey: I'd own Feliz, Hughes and/or Wuertz, in that order. @Lines: Pedro

By: Lines

Lines — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:39:26 +0000

Buchholz or Pedro to replace Burnett?

By: Mr. Rickey

Mr. Rickey — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:32:41 +0000

FA pool includes Hughes, Neftali Feliz, Lyon, Rhodes, Masset, Darren Oliver, Coffey, Wuertz. Madson is available but I can’t afford major ERA/WHIP blow-ups at this point so I’m inclined to pass on him. Any help is appreciated.

@big o: How deep is the league? Do you have to hold him for five years? Who's the best SS in the league at the draft? @TheGreatVeto: I'd make that switch. @Steve: I'm assuming the H2H playoff didn't turn out well. @Mr. Rickey: Give me the top five guys available... @Influawesome: I'd go with Maholm. @papasmurf: Yeah, he's famous the world over for collecting porn. Hard not to appreciate that. @Jeff: Soto @kwak: Desmond has light power and speed. EverCab has better speed. I'd lose Coghlan for McGehee. @VanHammersly: I'd lose Smith for McGehee. Yeah, I know on McLouth. He should be played over CarGo.
