I get Ellsbury and Greinke

I give Werth and Heath Bell

Werth isn’t really producing that much.My other closers are Brian Wilson and Valverde.

Ellsbury and Papelbon for V. Mart and Capps… Crazy? Yadier is producing nothing for me, V.Mart would be of use.

@DrEasy: Just watch some of those splits carefully as there are some lefties he lusts after. Until recently I have not had a bench player so Papi has just played everyday.

@BSA: Papi has crazy L/R splits, making the decisions to start/bench him pretty easy. No complaints here.

Who do you good fellows, specifically Mr. Grey, have more faith in for the rest of the year Ortiz or Lind? Both had nice nights tonight.

@Anonymous: Scratch the SAGNOF bit. Mike G is an FA. Praise the high heavens!

@Grey: Is MMD safe enough to play against lefties that I can drop Rolen? I just dropped Kouz to get Wieters off of DL (granted, I also have Montero…in a dynasty though…my team is oozing with upside, but I also have the old fart known as Abreu clogging my OF) I’m assuming I can drop Rolen for Random Holds Guy (to hold Mike Adams’s place, who is essentially two holds guys in one).

I’m worried about Dotel being traded though. How imminent is it and apart from Arizona (which I am avoiding entirely), where can I look for the next closer? Is League the next SAGNOF? (assuming an Aardsma trade…)

@Steve: A week plus with only nine homers means I was teasing you.

Last week was the teamwide slump, now the bats come to life to make up for last week.

Gordon just needed a game in which it didn’t matter to see, yes he can hit it out of the infield.

VMart is back!

Keep dreaming Steve! I will be taking back my points from Hippo and CockyPheonix this week.

Big Papi – just when I am getting fed up with you I get paid for patience. Those damn homerun hitters! Streaky. Streaky. Streaky.

In a minor league keeper league. Sorry, forgot to specify.

Brett Wallace or Michael Saunders?

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:27:08 +0000

@Steve: With a slight leaning towards a need for speed.

@Yankees2010 Thats why you start them if you got em, except for first starts back from the DL. If you play matchups you get burned by a sonofabench…I’d rather let the bad starts average out and not miss any good ones.

@Anyone.

MMD, Wiggy, Rolen or Kouz for the rest of the year? (totally not Kouz, but I felt like he’d want to be included.) (I’m also willing to guess the answer will be MMD)

Hey Grey,
I finally decide to sit Garza this week because he’s up against Detroit and NY and he has kinda sucked lately and what does he do? Well we all know what he did. He kicked me in my nether region. At least I had the smarts to start Mad Max. Yup, kicked again!

By: ThePoonTycoon

ThePoonTycoon — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:04:08 +0000

@Terrence Mann: aw give garza some credit. he's much better than dallas braden, even if he's been a bit of a roller coaster this year. and has much more upside to boot.

soto removed after fouling one off his leg,anyone know how bad he is?

By: Bodymore

Bodymore — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:43:34 +0000

All I can see is that it was off his arm/possibly wrist. Hopefully it was a precaution and not catastrophic.

In other news, the solo home run machine known as Mike Stanton did it again.
