@Grey: Are you saying you wouldn’t grab that Johnson?

Anyway, I was thinking Nolasco, Baker, Johnson, Slowey, Myers, Harang. But the Nolasco part is the important one. Thanks.

@Shogun: I'd go Nolasco, Garza, Baker, Myers, punt.

@Grey: I’m in a mostly uncompetitive 10 team league and just traded two starters for a big hitter. Looking at the waiver wire, I see that there are many decent-to-good arms available: Maine, Myers, Garza, Nolasco, Slowey, Baker, Harang, and Josh Johnson. Yes, I know, other managers are asleep at the wheel, but which of these guys do you think is the best bet the rest of the way? I’m leaning toward Nolasco or Johnson, but I could be convinced to pick-up any of these guys.

@Denys:

But the most telling stat is this, submarining righthander with 31 saves in 1979 for the Pirates “We are Family” team. Back when they didn’t care about saves.

Ziggy could pitch till he’s 40 with that delivery.

And don’t diss Bowie mang, Changes One is a rock and roll bible.

I been through rockabilly, blues, gospel, Kiss Army, disco, Motown, hairbands, hip hop, bubble gum rock, Casey Kasem’s top 40, heavy metal and alternative rock, anything but Country. And Western.

Bowie lives on.

Nite all! The Chinese are singing their greek song and serenading me to bed. The girls will be serenading, if thats what you call it, me awake at 6 AM (3 AM to you Grey). Hopefully BFH and Denys’s teams didn’t 0fer all night.

The torch is lit, the fireworks are firing, and I am signing off.

@BigFatHippo: Fuck Bowie. But I Googled Tekulve. Actually I wikied him. 12 losses while giving up 0 runs. That's a rough city mang.

@ Everybody

Would you do this deal?

I give Sizemore and Fast Willy for Holliday. Taveras riding my pine anyway.

The guy in 4th needs steals to take 10 pts in a 10 team league, he’ll take them away from the guy that’s directly behind me.

Power? I think Holliday = Sizemore from here on and he helps me with avg and obp.

See Summerdog, these are the things you have to look at in roto.

@Denys: Google Tekulve, you'll find out. I'm a little older than you, hence the Ziggy Stardust reference. Google Bowie while you're at it. @BSA: It's really the same way as H to H but you gotta pay attention to the cats more, and play every day instead of week to week. That's what I like about it the most.
