@Frank Rizzo: Dang, I have Migs and Maggs. I would have enjoyed a double-donk. Just grabbed Maggs off waivers, dumping Pierre. Very nice of him to drop a donk in his first game for my Fighting Fanta Pants.

@Frank Rizzo: I didn't know that, but I wasn't gonna sit Lilly anyways, he's been too consistent. I guess it was about time for a little pruning

@john: The Tigers are deflowering Lilly today. Technically he's given out 3 HR's already but Miggy's was called a double. Detroit has been really tough on lefties this year.

@Grey: You said, "Nunez has posted ERAs of 8.31, 4.50 and 7.56 in the first three months of the season and he just hurt his ankle on Tuesday." Those are Lindstrom's numbers, not Leo's. Leo's are 3.18, 3.77, 6.43 for the first three months. Just saying.

@john: Victorino, McLouth, Lind, Hawpe, Ludwick... @T-BZA: I wouldn't drop Meche to stash Gordon.

Would you say it’s too early to stash Alex Gordon on the DL if you happen to currently employ one Larry Jones at 3rd Base?

This issue becomes dropping an arm like the WHIP destroyer Gil Meche…

Many Thanks.

Speaking of Miggy, on the radio broadcast they reviewed his double today….it hit the railing and bounced back in, not the top of the wall. It was not reviewed during the game but it was in fact a HR. Robbery!

Please list the following OF in the following orders: alphabetical, age, GPA in high school, age they lost their virginity and overall usefullness for the rest of the season…

Lind, Flyin Hawaiian, McClouth, Ludwick, Hawpe

@agarthered: that's what i thought, is there a reason you would want howard over cabrera? cabrera could conceivably bat 100 points higher than howard, hit nearly as many HRs, and give you similar RBIs. and my confusion was triggered by the response of someone saying they dropped "miggy", which early in the morning made my head explode. i figured it had to be another "miggy".

@MJB: I could see getting Manny there. @Tony Y: I'd take Carlos Lee there.

By: Tony Y

Tony Y — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:20:38 +0000

I’ve thought about offering TULO for CARLOS LEE.

The guy has 8 OF’ers and we can only start 3 plus 3 utility slots and his SS is FURCAL…. bleh

THE Q: Do i wanna deal away TULO? At the moment he’s on fire… Is he actually gonna keep it up to a certain extent or frickin bottom out again?

Carlos Lee was/is dealing with some hammy issues too right? Thats my other concern….

By: MJB

12 team 5×5 (Keep 9)
1B: Berkman, Votto
3B: A-Rod, Reynolds, Branyan
OF: Soriano, Damon, Abreu (Drew, Pierre BN)

Only 1 Util spot so I feel like I need to deal a 1b/3b to pick up an OF. Branyan has no value to anyone. Would you deal Reynolds for Manny + 10th rd pick (1st after keepers)? Or too steep with that high of a pick?

@Grey: I'm very deep offensively and pitching, a little weak on closers/saves. Deep offense/deep pitching = 1st place right now But of course losing to my most hated league mate this week! STUPID RANDY WOLF AND UBLADONUTS!!!

@Tony Y: I like it for you.

i dealt McGhee (MIL) for Mike Gonzalez today…

semi-meaningless, but Mcghee has no chance of playing on my team and Gonzalez is kinda in a platoon closer role with raffy soriano…. but i guess saves are saves and i’m not giving up anything valuable to me for them.

GOOD DEAL?

@Robert: Apples and apples. I'd hold tight. @Dim: I'd take the Prince side, it's close though. Can go either way.

Prince, Haren, Scherzer or JaVazquez, JJohnson + Berkman?

In a head to head league, am I better off letting Hanson go and picking up Floyd? Thanks.

@G: I'd want Jurrjens. @Sucklingduck: I'd take Rios.

By: Sucklingduck

Sucklingduck — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:45:45 +0000

I finally got an offer for Matt Cain. Dude offered me Alex Rios and Scott Richmond. Is that enough or should I hold out for more. I’m pretty stacked at pitching and Cain can’t keep this up all year can he?

By: G

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:44:30 +0000

Give up Jurrjens for Scott? Scott’s getting cold right now but I need OF depth ..pull trigger?

@mgeoffriau: We do, indeed, have a hot one. @Teef: Accept.
