I like Cain and drafted him in my 12 team h2h league. How much trust would you put in him?

I picked up Thames yesterday and Rasmus just got cut in my league today. I have the #1 waiver position so I could pick him up. Who do think has better value at this point? Rasmus has sucked all spring so I don’t think I should waste the #1 waiver on him when I can stick with Thames.

Someone just dropped Pineda, drop cozart to pick him up? I’m not sure being that I have a lot of pitching already..

kershaw, romero, zimm, lubeke, gio, jgarcia, ubaldo, morrow

With this staff, would you hold? or pick up pineda?

I have Thames and Cain everywhere this season, so this article pleases me! I moved Morse for Dan Hudson in my dynasty league a couple weeks ago and picked up Thames as my OF replacement, I’m thinking that will work out very nicely.

Really hoping HRod is the saves guy in WAS, I picked Storen with my 1st pick (basically the 14th round as we have 13 keepers) in said dyno league……DOH!

Anything I should look to improve on this roster going into the season Grey? I am punting 3B til HanRam gets eligibility or until the 15th, as I used all my acquisitions on pitching reinforcements. And no one would trade me for any of my 2B’s, so I plan on sticking them in my 2 UTIL spots for a while.

C – Posey, Ramos
1B – Fielder
2B – R Weeks, A Hill, D Espinosa
SS – HanRam, Dee Gordon
3B – none (damn you Chisenhall)
OF – Stanton, Crawford, Boesch, Thames, Cain, Soriano

SP – Greinke, MadBum, D Hudson, Morrow, Pineda (DL), Vogelsong (DL), also carrying Gerrit Cole as we expand to 14 keepers in 2013, thoughts on that? Guys like Profar, Machado, etc are all rostered.
RP – Beard, Storen, Marshall, J Johnson, D Robertson, H Rodriguez

Thanks as always for your help man!

Love the Friday buy sell except back in 2010 when Grey kept trying to throw my boy Bautista under the sell bus every week

Aside from that, two things, saw that Wright just had a grand slam….hopefully a sign of things to come and second, does anyone know when the 2012 Yahoo baseball app for the iphone will be done? Did those morons forget about the baseball season this year?

Henry picked up his 3rd save of the spring:

8 pitches
8 strikes
0 balls

Dropped A. Jackson’s SBs for upside of Thames’ power. Call me crazy.

@Steve, Is he throwing out his shoulder in that picture? Serendipitous photography? Maybe that’s what he always looks like…regardless, I can’t help but revel in the Yankees loss…who trades Jesus? Judas, that’s who! You’d think the yankees could do without 30 pieces of silver.

@Wake Up, Didn’t seem to be the ‘it’s nothing to worry about’ shoulder soreness, according to the article.

@Grey: Pick one of Moose, Thames, Cain, Tabata, Reimold, Rios or Presley. No specific categories needed, just want best guy to fill in for BJ and depth when he returns. Thanks!

Don’t know if I’m just missing it on the phone do-hickey I’m using for Internet right now, but where’s the daiquiri button? I need to send some much deserved island cocktails to So Cal. Figured I spent the last month getting paid to recover from back surgery, might as well show my appreciation for not coming off like an ass clown in my fantasy drafts/leagues.

@3FingersBrown, I pronounce anyone’s name that way if it has Murphy in it. I can’t stop myself. A good friend of my wife’s dad’s (man that was tough to type) name is Charlie Murphy. I can hardly contain myself whenever she talks about him.

Should have been more specific. Thinking I drop Holland to stash Cozart ASAP and wait to DL Utley before grabbing Thames. Reasonable or just hold?

By: knighttown

knighttown — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 03:41:19 +0000

Looking at your two faves of the past week and wondering if I should find room. Cozart and E. Thames specifically.

I’ve got Uggla/Andrus/Espinosa in my MI slots. I’ve got Cain as my 5th OF and no bench. Other spare parts are G. Holland and Cahill or Minor.

Also have Utley waiting to DL.

Thoughts?
