@grey- who do u like for the rest of the year Nolasco, gallardo, billingsly? Billingsly has a sweet schedule

@Nick: Napoli's fine, but in the playoffs you want ABs, right? Beckett and Jurrjens, in that order. Bourn @mrbaseball: Fowler might cut into both of their time, but if they keep hitting, they should see time. Right now, Fowler's the odd man out. Could change, of course. Mitre's top 750.

Jeremy Guthrie if he only pitched this well in the beginning of the season – I won’t own him YOUR FIRED from all of my fantasy teams

Hey Grey if you expand to the top 500 pitchers next year would S. Mitre make the list

Seth Smith had 2 homeruns and 5 RBI’s today

Dexter Fowler will be returning this week from his vacation on the DL list so how does affect the playing time of Carlos Gonzales and Seth Smith – with out reading the last 100 post – I know you always are in favor of picking up the hot player but sometimes picking up a hot player does not come that cheap so do you see him palying everyday or becoming a pain in ass like Mike Lowell

for me to pick him up I would have to drop either – Lastings Milledge who is also hot but it seems his power runs out at the outfield wall or Matt Diaz

@Grey: Still go with Baker over Napoli? He has an rbi and run tonight. Also Beckett @ CWS or Jurrjens in STL? And Bourn over Ibanez?

@Grey: I'd be dropping Ian Snell and Brandon Morrow.....my entire bench consists of SPs

By: Grey

@TheGreatVeto: C @matthole: I'd sit Lidge and Arroyo. Lyon and Aceves aren't going to make that big of a WHIP and ERA difference at this point. Cueto and Bruce are worth fliers, depending on who you're dropping.

By: matthole

matthole — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 23:28:42 +0000

@Grey: also, cueto worth a flier? how about jay bruce? hes supposed to be finishing up a rehab assignment soon

@Grey: Asked a similar question the other day, but wanted to fill in some details…hope you dont mind

Im in an extremely tight 12 team roto race—crazy tight…Wins, ERA, WHIP, K’s, all very close, a K or 2 can determine the winner….

.03 and .04 ahead in ERA of the two pple behind me, .01 off in WHIP……..my staff has been decimated with injury (johan and harang) so ive been streaming…..

Would you go with MRPs like brandon Lyon, aceves to preserve ERA/WHIP or go with these guys?

Saves being the least of my needs, which 9 would you start?: 1.Wainwright, 2. DLR, 3.ryan franklin, 4.lidge, 5.Correia (2 start), 6. Richard (2 Starts), 7. West, 8. Moyer, 9. Buchholz, 10. Arroyo (thinking of benching @ COL), 11. Tim Hudson (same @ STL)

Thanks again for the help

@Grey: I’m in a conundrum. I’ve been starting Gordo Beckham up ’til now. But he has been hurt and declared out for Monday and questionable Tuesday. And with my H2H playoffs starting this next week, I don’t feel confident starting an injured player. Should I…
A. Stick with him
B. Drop him, pick up Theriot (even though I hate him)
C. Drop him, pick up Andrus
D. Drop him, pick up Everth or
E. Drop him, pick up Akinori Iwamura (fun name to say)

@Tom_Emanski: Smith

By: Tom_Emanski

Tom_Emanski — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:23:38 +0000

OK well would you have picked up Jones or Smith? <— boring names not indicative of talent. Probably a wash right?

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:19:00 +0000

@Tom_Emanski: I wouldn't.

Grey, I just reluctantly dropped Willingham (now watch J-Will go on another tear), who was on the bench, to pick G. Jones back up.

This is a deep league. My OF/Util are now Cruz, Markakis, Rajai, and CarGo, with Jones on the bench. You think I should pull the bplug on Markakis and go for one of Seth Smith, Pie, Reimold, LaPorta, or Stubbs?

@nick m.: I'd drop Howell for Penny. I woudn't punt saves/MacDougal.

By: nick m.

nick m. — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:01:40 +0000

and on top of that, would you drop macdougal as well for carlos gonzalez. i could moderately punt saves to get a hot bat with 7 starts in the lineup for the playoffs as well. go big or go home?

By: nick m.

nick m. — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:57:21 +0000

drop j.p. howell for brad penny? howell seems to be falling apart and penny could be useful as a 2-starter in my first week of the playoffs (i’d have macdougal, frankfrank, and gutiérrez still left for saves…

Grey — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:33:17 +0000

@steamer: Yeah, go for it.
