yea, i haven’t even considered trading him. I’m just going to patiently wait until he turns it around. As for now, I’m perfectly content with Jackson as my 1B. I’m gonna assume Pronk will turn it around somewhat at somepoint cause even his ‘off’ year last year, he still got he still went 80/100/24

@ Grey…the problem is there is no one else to leadoff in Toronto. I mean, I saw Matty Stairs leading off, that’s ridiculous.
@ john….pronk has become untradeable….I’ve offered him and myers to several different teams and nobody will touch’em…Harang-no, cueto-no, I even offered them for ortiz…no dice…thinking about making a run at Billingsley….if I can’t get this rollercoaster ride (Mr. Bill) for pronk/myers then I give up.

speaking of not reading posts…whats up with Pronk? He’s a bencher for me in fantasy but getting benched in real life can’t be a good sign (< yes, that had nothing to do with not reading posts )

@john: If Quentin's available in your league, then it's hella (the kids say this) shallow or people just aren't paying that close attention, so if you drop Victorino he should be there if you want to pick him back up. So I would grab Quentin. @scott: Rios isn't a leadoff man, Rolen's not a three hole hitter, the Jays will figure this out.

A little OT guys, but can we get a Matt Berry bashing poll up? None of this backhanded bashing through Karabell.

Yea I’m about to consider it. I’ve got Furcal, Wright, Markakis and Phillips…so I’m good on steals, its just his 100+ expected runs that I needed….and I’m in a fairly shallow league with ppl who like big name players as opposed to new guys

BTW, anyone else notice that A. Rios is hitting leadoff the last few days? S. Rolen is killin’ me! There goes the rbis and the mvp season…

EJ–
Unless you need steals from Shane-o (I’m not as keen-o on shane-o right now — sorry Grey) I think you almost have to p/u Quentin at this point…he looks good, across 4 cats, will play everyday and plays in a hitters ballpark…pretty amazing he’s still available in your league

yea, scott..my thoughts exactly..i’ve got my waiver claim on Jobacum (i can’t decide which nickname i like more) and i’m actually considering droppin the Sittin’ Hawaiian and pickin up Quentin (who is STILL available in my league!)

By: scott

scott — Thu, 01 May 2008 01:07:25 +0000

I’m thinking the same thing about the Flyin’ Hawaiian…he’s just not as valuable if he’s not playing everyday…I have to drop one guy right now as btwn him, Shawn Hill and Uncle Miltie Bradley (I’m assuming my #10 waiver claim is not going to get me the Nazi tomorrow)….With S. Hill pitching well tonight (and B. Myers and R. Hill pitching like arse) it’s btwn Flyin’ Hawaiin and Uncle Miltie….It’s a bench slot but I’d rather have a guy playing everyday (when healthy) and batting forth than an outfielder in a three-way platoon for two OF positions….

@john: Yeah, I'm doing a rant about this right now for tomorrow's post.

Is Charlie Manuel going to do the smart thing and make Jenkins ride the pine?..I could really use Victorino’s runs and doubt I could trade him if he’s not going to be the predominant starter

@brad: You traded Chipper at his absolute peak, Werth has worked his way into a starting spot in the Phillies outfield, Eveland looks great so far and Maddux is definitely usable. For just Peavy, the trade would have been fair, but with Gordon too, it's a bit lopsided, but nothing that shouldn't go through. You definitely got the better end of the trade. Well done, hope it goes through for you.

No trade should be vetoed unless it’s between best friends, brothers or convicts or something. Only under clear collusion or something silly should a trade be vetoed.

People have the right to trade whomever they want whenever they want.

Hey I just pulled a tradde in my league and people are starting to bitch and moan. I traded Chipper Jones, Dana Eveland, Greg Maddux, and Jayaon Werth for Jake Peavy, Alex Gordon, and Luke Scott.
Should this trade be vetoed?
