I know it’s all prognostication, but it turns out Blalock isn’t available in my league. Is it worth it sticking with Pennington or Beckham at 3B, or is Chipper Jones/Beltre a better option for the final week?

I have my choice of them, it looks like. I’m fine for steals and need HR, AVG, and RBI for the final week.

Do I want to go for a LaPorta or Snider over Stubbs, Brantley, or Patterson? I need somewhat of a sure thing for any category, as that outfield spot (coupled with pitching) could mean 1st or 2nd place for me.

if nolasco doesn’t dominate against the mets @ home tonight , or , at the very least , have a quality start , my h2h play-off chances will be seriously jeopardized .
am i better off re-inserting hoffman and sitting nolasco ??

thanking you , in advance .

and the announcers are working on a variation of your latin21 theory …. “well , they say he’s only 23 , but you can’t tell for sure , because the cubans are so secretive … fearing defection of their players”

well , at least the cuban uniforms have the players’ names on the back …. something the team usa uniforms lack .
cust kayin’ .

also , am rooting for this ike davis kid , who’s playing right-field for team usa …. not only ‘cuz he rapped a 1st inning double off the center-field wall , but , ‘cuz the only mlb guy i can remember with that name was ike delock .

@Grey: @Stephen: Raja doesnt exactly have a “redsox type” line up to knock him in…. and ellsbury has done it a couple years now, raja? not the biggest sample size….

Trading for Tejada was my best early move of the year. If Alexei finishes strong I won’t harbor bitter resentment.

Ted Lilly is a pussy btw. Pitching next Wednesday which means I can’t drop him till then. UGH!!

I’d take him over Ellsbury because I don’t want to waste a high pick on steals and runs.

@big o:I like the idea of pinch running Patterson for Rajai. You can manage my team anytime.

@Razzin: I’d go with Madson.

he’s not giving ellsbury instruction ,

am wondering if braun’s miserable last 2 months is ‘cuz i traded for him .
abreu also slumping .

patterson is very quick …. would consider pinch-running him for rajai , if i was the manager .
(i could do that job , i swear !!)

These guys each had a save this week. Master Grey, who do you think might get a couple more without completely killing my peripherals?

2) Tulo is a beast, rollins is old balls… out with the old in with the youth that play @ coors

3) Time to drop cargo then? This may be a good thing grey? He’ll be hyped less now (by everyone else).

4) Gotta love Dusty benching stubbs who’s been hitting for power and stealing bases. I throw him in on a slow thurs hoping for some lightening in a bottle, nope, dusty goes with willy “no average” taveras. Awesome, thanks dusty…. and EE goes 0-4, damn you EE!
