He was firing today, throwing many pitches at 95+ and fooling batters all day. His ERA is back down under 2 at 1.94

It doesn’t help that some of the guys I drafted to hedge against them (LoMo, Howie, Youk) have spent the better part of the last month sucking as well.

@Steve: Is that your RCL team where the average dropped out?

I have a chance to move Cargo & Yuniesky for McCutchen & Hardy or for Adam Jones and Hardy – 12 team H2H with only 2 keepers. Would you do it and which pair would you prefer? Really appreciate your work – your humor and sage advice is second to none!

The current link to Jar-Jar’s pic under “Smugshot” is good, but Morse’s has got to be the most smug I have ever seen… you might need to update the glossary entry.

Here’s hoping for a cheap win.

My copy of the ESPN book (finally) arrived last week. Have you read it yet?

I have 3 donkycorns (Guerra, Madson, Melancon). I’m thinking of throwing Melancon + Boneface + Danks at the guy with Kimbrel. Way too much or gotta do what you gotta do?

Problem is, at 105 points, there isn’t much room to move up. I’ve got a 12 in HR and SB but need help in average (8) and ERA (8). Knowing that, would an offer of Lind/Reynolds/Chacin for V-Mart and Weaver make sense?

Mike Adams or Antonio Bastardo
