Looking to open up a roster spot for some spot starts, and have an excess in OF.

@oldie: colon wandy kershaw kuroda jurrjens

@Too Live Crudite: Ugh door number 5 is who i would sit. Shields or Hanson tho none are truly a sit.

@Yoyoyo: In a NL only i cant see dropping him as he has a good start followed by a bad start. sit tight.

I had him in there today — OUCH. Kudos on the good advice, though. Looking forward, in NL-only 5×5, at what point do I cut him? I have four good starters, plus Narveson and the Volqster. Only SP free agents are McDonald and Westbrook… neither excites me..

D. Hudson @ HOU
T. Hanson v CIN
Z. Greinke v WAS
J. Shields v CLE

@Mr2Bits: Grab a filler

@ernie: Latos pineiro Floyd Lilly baker

@Enrique: Niese at Metco. Start Liriano, sit Volquez.

@chris: B

@Another Panicy Smoaker: its a toss up both offer same value to me.

@Jake: Greinke.

@artie: Agreed.

@Casey Blake’s Beard: Id rank them Hudson, Vargas, Liriano and Ole McD

Please rank Vargas and the following for the week: Liriano at AZ (D’Bags have never faced him), Narv @ hm vs. WAS, D. Hudson @ HOU, McDonald vs. T. Hudson @ PIT.

Now us unfortunate souls are left to watch out fantasy baseball teams torture us, only to explode in a fiery death in October 21st.
Repent people, REPENT!!

For some reason it always tells me that the CAPTCHA is wrong. Either I’m a bot and I don’t know it, which would be rather ironic since I’m watching the matrix right now, or there is something wrong with it…

Greinke vs WAS or Pineda vs NYY? Not chasing wins, just looking for the best pitching line.

I know Moreland has shown ZERO power but Zips has him matching or better than Smoak in every other category.

I’ve never been a fan of M&M candy but in this case should I learn to enjoy me some, Mitch Moreland?

Side B: Jose Reyes, Dan Hudson, Jose Tabata

Thanks for doing these deep sleeper ideas every week. In my 20-team 6×5 roto league I usually end up using a couple of streamers a week, often off your lists.

Two questions to ask. First, with Blanton out, who would you like in the matchup you mention above if Worley makes the start against Niese?

Also, in the same 20-team league, what are your thoughts on starting Liriano and/or Volquez tomorrow night? Both looked a lot better last time out but my ERA and WHIP are still smarting from the few times I’ve started them previously. Liriano has never faced the Diamonbacks, but he’s done better on the road this year, though he has yet to string together consecutive strong starts. And Volquez, whose worst seems to be a little better than Lirano’s worst, has given up more than a run per inning in two games against the Indians. What’s the wise move? Start one? Both? Neither?

Many thanks.

Thanks

I currently have Lind/Hams/Sizemore on the DL and need to wait till Hams comes off to move Ross to the DL if so.

OR

I just drop him and grab a new pitcher like Gee, Vogelsong, Francour, Ludwick or Hart. 10 team keeper QS league

Seth Smith
Ryan Ludwick
Bobby Abreu

2)Is Turner for real?? Would you drop Jed Lowrie or Ian Desmond to put him on your roster?

3) Thanks

Baker is an enigma and Peavy is a wild card. Is he the ole Jake from the Pads? No, but he has to readjust his approach as he isnt the K guy from years past.

Niese
De La Rosa
J. Zimmerman

Both guys struggle with lefties, and it looks like 3 of Philly’s 7 games will be against lefties (though 2 of them are Capuano and Niese, so that’s not very scary). The Twins have 2 of their 6 games against lefties.

Philly is home for 4 vs CIN, and @ NYM for 3.
The Twins are home for 3 against SEA and LAA.

Thanks!
