Ok, still drunk, but the site is super effin’ fast now. You’re welcome. (Seriously, thanks for hanging in there. And let me know if there’s any issues again.)

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I’m not a fan of guys who hit .250, but I do like Dunn. Go figure. I’m aware of the slowness and I’m trying to correct it. Bear with, Baron. And say hi to the Countess.

re: Snell — Our player rater was Rudy’s work. He would be able to explain it better. I like Wainwright better for a lot of reasons (his 1st and 2nd half splits were great, which makes me think it took him a little while to adjust to starting again, might be what’s going with Myers now) dislike Snell (slightly, I’m not totally against him) because he invariably gives up three or four runs. And the walks. And the home runs, which he has cut down so far this year, but we’ll see on that.

@Grey: Uggla… not a fan? I did a back search through the archives and found a couple of unenthusiastic posts, though nothing manifesto-like. (Don’t know if it’s my computer, but the site is mad slow.)

re: Snell v. Wainwright. Baseball Prospectus seems to like Snell better. Yahoo! had them, like, two rankings apart last year. Your 2008 player ranker has Snell about 40 places higher than Wainwright. Is it all the walks? Is that why you’ve soured on the firebreathing midget in Piratetown?

McDonald’s hashbrowns and Gatorade will solve all your hangover-related problems. Preferably together. In a blender. Smoothie-style.

It was nice. I put in volquez for Vlad. Power tilt?! Call me smarter than the average bear and even more driven to continue my unbeaten streak - even though the team that is 0 - 5 had me on the ropes Friday and I have recovered and have him afraid of his 6th loss.

@BSA: That’s buckin’ fullshit. THAT TRADE WAS RAZZBALL APPROVED!

Ugh, I shouldn’t type in caps when I have a hangover.

Trade was vetoed - I’ll go for the one for one vlad/volq. League stated it was a power swing in my favor if I got both for a prospect. Jealous DINKS! Amazing how being 5-0 when my team was mediocre no one cared and licked their chops for my team to play theirs.
How was the bucket? Penny still in there?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: You in Transylvania, I can’t even believe you’d ask me that question. You know how I feel about Uggla. Actually, it’s pretty close to Pence and strictly for homers, I’d say Uggla gets more, but Pence is a more all around player.

@BSA: I’d flip Penny back in. Get it, flip! Oh man, I’m really hungover. Okay, going to stick my head in a bucket of ice water.

The other team put Penny in the trade. Dump him or Longo? After seeing my pitching staff in post #31, would you drop someone else from pitching or will Penny be my lowest option?

I’ve asked for Wainwright/Pence (turns out the same guy has Wainwright — so much for due diligence on my part). We’ll see….

One last question — Uggla? That’s my question. Uggla? Over Pence? I have BJ Upton at 2B, but could use some HRs….
