Wow, that article about Wain-o totally ruined my afternoon.

:drops head and sulks away:

Do you have inside info on Wainwright that I am missing? All reports said it wasn’t too serious and to expect him back shortly after being eligible to return.

I need him to come back strong as my #2.

The rookie pitcher thing is an adjustment period and it happens to just about all rookie pitchers. Cueto might be out of it. He’s definitely worth trying on for size.

By the way, after months of skepticism, I am now a Cuetoliever. He looked dominant against the Yanks today, and I picked him up. (He’d been dropped awhile ago by his frustrated waiver-priority-wasting owner.)

There’s a recurring pattern with young pitchers — Lincecum, Hamels — that they struggle for a month or so when first called up, then put it all together. Maybe — maybe — this is Cueto turning the corner. Worth an add, at least, I think. See ya, Masa Kobayashi.

@BigFatHippo: Yes, do that. Maybe flip Hunter for a middling closer like Kevin Gregg. Saves are easy to replace, if you are vigilant.

I now have six-headed rotation of Hamels, Lackey, Cain, Lowe, S. Baker and Cueto. Of those final three, who do you like best through worst?

First offer I ever got from this guy and it’s a good one. I’m up by 11.5 right now as my buddy had a huge day. Went from 23 up down to this in a week, mostly hitting. Today sucked, how the hell do I get 3 losses from 3 all stars, Kaz, Hamels and Webb. Bout to throw myself off a bridge.

Lotta ball left to play, keep Razzing.

EDIT: Capitalization.

Just got offered Atkins, T Hunter and Broxton for Cantu, Nathan, and M Gonz.

I’m 1st in Saves, but 5 guys within 15 of me. Would leave me with K Rod and Franklin as closers, we don’t count holds. I like Atkins but what’s your take on Hunter? And do I take the hit in saves?
