@Chris: As I said in the Frenchy post on Friday, I think Torres comes out with the most saves from the committee, but I don't think it's the end Gagne, unfortunately.

Personally, I’d rather have Roger Dorn and his “Ole” defense over Hall or Braun personally. Granted, D is not necessarily a major factor in fantasy ball, unless you have Milwaukee pitchers…

Speaking of Milwaukee, can we mark this down as the end of Gagne as the closer long term? Yost has announced the dreaded “closer by committee” mentality.

@Chris: Mr. Sieve — hehe

Yeah, Braun played 3rd last year, so he has eligiblity in most leagues this year.

EDIT: For coherence.

Braun still has eligibility in some leagues at 3B? I figured that was eliminated when they put Bill “Mr. Sieve” Hall at the corner and moved Braun to become the league’s most sluggish reacting LF in recent memory not named Barry Bonds.

BTW, I’m still drunk from last night.

The second team is much better.

@Freak: Nah, you're good freak. Keep on, keepin' on. @Chase: 105/25/70/.290/15 is a modest estimate if he stays in the 2 hole for the majority of the season. Could be higher on home runs.

@Kevin: I pay for the Mag and Insider comes free. Does that count?

@Kevin: Well, I pay for it for material. But, yeah, no one should. I pass along their turd nuggets anyway, so no need for anyone that looks at this site needs to pay.

‘cum’s better in your pocket than for those schmohawks. Reynolds is actually the star of my Razzball team that’s built to suck. He’s up to 46 Ks, last I checked. He’ll be losing at-bats to Chad Tracy if he continues to screw the pooch. Lyon’s not safe. Big no on that trade. If people won’t give you the price that’s fair, just keep him.

@Kevin: Something tells me that if someone is dumb enough to write that crap, then there is also someone out there who is willing to pay for it.

Trade question… I’ve been offered Brandon Lyon and Mark Reynolds for Tim Lincecum. I need saves and rbi, and this takes care of some of that.

People in my league have rejected my many offers for trades for 2nd and 3rd rounders for Lincecumshot. Rejected by the owners of Berkman, Teixiera, Howard, and ARod. I even offered the Cleveland Steemer (a.k.a. Joe Borowski), and they still rejected me. I feel so unloved.

EDIT: many apologies for the cleveland steemer reference, JoeBlow.

Does anyone out there actually pay for “ESPN Insider?” That company has a lot of nerve charging money for information that is available for free on other sites, many of which offer better information. I wouldn’t pay for that crap even if it cost 2 cents for the year with a second one free.
