So Yahoo just clearly stole my nickname for Jay Bruce that I claimed about a week ago.

Alright, riddle me this bat-man – Headley or Stewart if one has a choice of the two.

Hallefreakinlujah…my god, what the hell were the Reds waiting for? It’s about friggin’ time. I don’t care about the K/BB ratio, this boy can rake!

This is great, I go from having a wasted bench spot on a Triple A player providing no production to a young starting OF with loads of talent over night!

He has Ian Snell tonight who has been so-so this year, hopefully he can shake the nerves and let his talent take over.

@Steve: I would go back to Doumit and trade away Posada for a closer or some small part you need. *Take followup questions into the newest post, so it's easier for me to follow.* @cockyphoenix: I'd drop Perez over Torres, because I'd want saves. *Take followup questions into the newest post, so it's easier for me to follow.*

I am a golden god. I traded Kerry Wood for Bruce and Bailey three weeks ago, and now I feel very smart.

Hooray for me.

So Bruce getting called up before I figured he would threw a wrench in the fluidity of my adds and drops. In one league, I have 3 closers with jobs (Fuentes, Sherrill, Ryan) and 2 not so sure (Pérez, Torres). Do Isringhausen and Franklin suck enough to drop Torres over Pérez or do I go with depth chart over talent? Bruce/Kershaw want to be added right away. @Steve: I'm no expert and am biased for having him on my team but I say you have to go with Dioner Navarro. At 24 years old he hasn't shown his full power potential and he's still quick enough to steal bases and stretch extra base hits. Doumit's strength so far has been his average, which is something Navarro's no slouch in.

@Grey: I know this is about Bruce, but I have him safely installed in my Util spot for tomorrow – so, would I be too hasty in getting rid of Navarro for Doumit? The guy just keeps hitting.

And come to that, is either Doumit or Navarro going to be a better option than Posada over the season?

@mike: I would go for Bedard there, as well. @Endless Summer: We welcome all comments. I would drop Alexei for Headley.

I don’t know if other commenters are supposed to reply, but I would do that trade mike. Bedard seems to always get some bad starts at the beginning of the season. I wouldn’t want Oswalt or Weeks anywhere near my team. I think the other owner is panicking and I would jump on it.
