"I'm finally convinced Jason Isringhausen is not reclaiming the closer role in St. Louis anytime soon …" This, the same day it was announced Izzy would be regaining a share of the closer role. Hmmm, wonder if the announcement was based on Ryan Franklin's lousy past month or so, and I wonder if Karabell might have checked it before misprognosticating. That's what I did yesterday, and advised my buddy Franklin would lose the job. You guys see Karabell’s new column today?

I really dont like Granderson also for where he goes in drafts but when I saw his stats post all-star break for last year, thats really when he did most of his damage. @Grey: haha…good way to put it.

He's obviously not what I expected when I traded for Tulo, but I've reshaped my roster using Jr. as my leadoff/SB guy and it has worked so far. @BSA: I’ve been playing Hairston Jr. for Tulo all year and (believe it or not) reaping the rewards.

You're gonna laugh but I am dropping Liriano to make this move. In a h2h league I have Mauer, Morneau, Utley, Tulo, and Longo in the infield and Vlad, Markakis, and Bruce in the outfield with Pence and Figgins on the bench. I was thinking with Hairston I would get some more flexibility in my outfield. Tulo the idiot. You’re gonna laugh but I am dropping Liriano to make this move.

He'll steal more bases for you. Don't worry about Longo, I'd take him on my team and Cueto is only gonna get better. Who are you trying to replace? Hairston looks good at the top of that lineup.

Both Barmes and Hairston are my finalists. Another rookie scares me a bit due to the fact that I have Longo, I know hot, Cueto pitching, and Bruce in my outfield. I feel as though I may be getting too young and risky this time of year. Thoughts? Still mulling SS pick up. Both Barmes and Hairston are my finalists.
