@Simply Fred: They get a save, yup. @BrianKennedy: I'd trade Frank for Romero, sure. Though I'd look to get a bit more/better starter.

Is Romero still a buy? Trade Francisco for him?

@Grey: Durbin came in top of the 7th for Phi with a 9-1 lead; went the last 3 innings. Credited with the save. If someone goes the last 3 they get a save, no matter what the run differential? (guess I'm a little foggy on my saves qualifications)

@G: Wainwright? Drop Parra for him.

By: G

Would you drop G. Parra(only bench player) to get Rauch? I have 3 solid closers but if Qualls gets shipped I dont like the feeling of only having 2. Grab Rauch?

Im looking to conserve innings as I am currently on pace to go over the max so what pitcher can I get by giving up Jurrjens and Cook? In what range should I be targeting for? thanks

@big o: He looked safe at the plate. Stauffer is a GB pitcher, moderate on Ks. @G: Sure, if you have room.

Is Rauch a necessary handcuff for owners of Quall right now if you have a roster space?

@Grey:
22 hits !!
yea , baby .
let’s see the raiders top that .

hey , grey …. did you happen to see stauffer against the marlins ?
all i’ve got to go by is the box score .

is this guy a bannister-type ?
i.e. pitches to contact .
stauffer’s gb/fb was 8-4 with 4 k’s (emilio twice , cantu , and the pitcher) .

hopefully you’ve seen this guy in action and can clue me in .

did i mention ??? …. the A ‘s

PLAY AT THE PLATE .

@Paulie Allnuts: Sure, I'd own him. @qbot: Depends what you can get for him. I don't think he'll necessarily stop hitting though if that's what you mean.

Would you consider Jayson Werth a sell-high at this point?

@big o: I went through two years of Ollie's antics. Four perfect innings, then 3 walks and 5 earned runs in the fifth. Can't take the angina. Speaking of angina... @Grey: Is it safe to pick of de la Rosa? He seems to have settled down a bit, although with less K's. Thanks

@big o: Hmm... Not sure about that one.

@Grey:
i’m starting to like pucker phizzer …. for the guy who ruins your pitching stats .
has a nice ring to it .
oliver perez is a notorious pucker phizzer ,
but sometimes i have these weak moments .

one of these days , i’ll swear him off , for good .
and I MEAN IT , this time .

Justin Morneau for José Reyes in keeper league – I have reyes should I make the trade

@danimal35: I'd sit Danks. @Robert: I'm glad he's doing it too. @G: Johnson, but it might be Baez. @big o: Yup

presently , i’m pleased with my penchant for withstanding change .

if i had a cell phone , i’d call someone (maybe b.f.h) and tell them …..
” c.j. rides again ” !!!

Great post! Who do you think the closer will be if Sherill is shipped? Baez or Johnson?

By: Robert

Robert — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:14:08 +0000

Grey, thanks for G. Jones. He has not disappointed!

i’ve got C-Bills, Shields, Oswalt, Nolasco, and Danks all going in two days. I could start all five but I would have to sit a closer to do it. Do I start all five or sit one…which one?

I started all five last week and they burned me britches!

Bills vs Reds (what happened last week)
Shields @ White Sox (shaky away from home)
Nolasco @ Padres (autostart)
Danks vs Rays (prolly lots of Ks)
Oswalt vs Cardinals (been on fire)

so I may have answered my own question but I wanted to get your opinion…thanks

@Sos: Yes, Lincecum's more valuable than Halladay. @Robert: Pickup Stewart.

By: Robert

Robert — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:25:48 +0000

Grey, is it time to let Rasmus go? He is a util. guy for me and has been it a little bit of a slump. Available to pick up: G. Anderson, Prado, Beckham, Stewart. Not much, really.

By: Sos

Sos — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:23:01 +0000

@Grey: I have too many outfielders now and need some pitching. Is Dunn/Gallardo for Halladay too much then assuming Lincecum had more value than Halladay?

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:19:10 +0000

@Sos: It's a bit much for Lincecum, but I'd still take Lincecum there by a hair.

By: Sos

Sos — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 02:10:14 +0000

Asked earlier about dunn/gallardo for lincecum. What about dunn/gallardo for halladay? prefer halladay side? Tryin to go after a top pitcher but of course takin the cheap skate route if possible

@Simply Fred: Nice!

@Grey: Feelin' good. On June 14 we had a brief discussion about merits of Aardsma vs. Bell. You slightly favored Bell. I boldly (and somewhat frivolously) stated that SD would be lucky to win 1/3 of remaining games. Guess what. 9-18 since June 15. Aardsma: 11S, 19K in 14IP. Bell: 6S, 11K in 11IP. Would be in 3rd instead of 1st today. Now watch Bell get traded and I wish I had him! Cust Kayin' and having fun.

love the post,,my maine problem with trading is that besides rookie managers,everyone else seems to have learned over the years to target better players,its hard to pull the old 2 good for 1 great player thing anymore,but i still try
