I'm just going to throw this out there because this guy is putting up video game numbers in AAA...

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent ... 8c896.html

Nelson Cruz is mashing in AAA with 32 HR/21 SB/80/82/.345. This is absolutely unreal and should be noticed.

There... I just noticed it and feel much better about it.

Thanks for the heads up.

If you want me to look at your team, post the team. Don't post a link to another site where the team is.
Have you given me all the info I need to judge your team? The number of teams in the league is a good start for the big overall questions.
Is your league H2H? Roto?
I don't know who's on your waivers. Don't just ask me who you should pick up. Give me names to choose from.
If you only have one team, post your team in your signature with the league parameters.
I don't know every single matchup for next week, so if you want me to choose a player for the following week and you think the matchups are important, tell me who they're facing.

Nelson Cruz and Dallas McPherson are tied for the lead in professional baseball with 34 HR each. I don't know how long the Rangers can justify keeping Cruz down in AAA. It'd be interesting to see if McPherson is trade bait at this point for the Marlins.

My small head says that both of them are worthy adds if you have space on your bench, or if you're in a deeper league. I'd love to see what Cruz could do this year in Arlington.

I've had him for the last month, since your last breaking news about a minor leaguer was posted.

He shall pay you back with at least four homers when he gets traded to the Giants. That and good karma.

I just read that Cruz is out of options, so either Byrd or Boggs goes down with an injury, or he'll be traded. The Rangers don't want to risk bringing him up and then get in the uncomfortable position of DFAing him.

Eh, it was in a NL-Only league, so it was worth the grab. You and Cruz should get a room.

A Nelson Cruz Update:

http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/archi ... -nuts.html

Quote:
Nellie Cruz has homered again today for Oklahoma. That's 37 for the season, 11 in his last 10 games. The guy has absolutely gone power-bonkers.


Not to be overshadowed - Cruz also stole 2 more bases and now has 24 for the season.

Where does a quote of "power-bonkers" come from? An Iowa paper?

Dallas McPherson -- 38hr/75r/82rbi/.297/12sb
Nelson Cruz -- 37/91/94/.348/24

Watch for the Rangers to trade Byrd and bring up Cruz today or tomorrow. McPherson could be traded.
