Davis is hitting righties and lefties. So why is he batting 7th? Or 8th? Or whatever the hell he is batting.

11th donk tonight bay-beeeeee

@Grey:

Just tried Magglio for Halliday.

We’ll see if he bites, Ludwick would be a $5.00 keeper for me next year.

Think I can afford to give up Maggs.

Not in panic mode yet, but he’s gettin too close for comfort. Fricken Davis and Aviles jump started him. Not to mention Jobba.

Why does Joe Morgan always look so high?

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:44:25 +0000

@BigFatHippo: If you can flip Ludwick for Halladay, I'd do that in a second. No, I wouldn't panic.

@Grey:

Don’t need the steals, but don’t want the guys behind me fighting for 3rd to have them either. They’ll take pts away from me.

What do you think about flipping Ludwick to another Cardinal fan for Halliday?

My ERA has taken a beating over the last month with Hamels and the closers I have, just dropped Rodney and picked up Zeigler because of it.

The 2nd place guy went for 13 R, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 3 SB today and closed to within 7 pts.

Panick time?

@BigFatHippo: I think he's starting over Willy unless you really need steals, then he's starting over Maggs for the time being. I'd look to trade one of them, preferably Willy for a part you need.

@Grey:

No, I’m spot starting all outfielders depending on matchups.

Right now, he’s in because Torii wasn’t there.

My OF: Sizemore, Maggs, Dye, Hunter, Ludwick, Taveras.

Good problem to have, haven’t missed on many of the matchups either. Although I can’t get steals out of fast Willie since he rides my pine every day.

Grey — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:05:06 +0000

@BigFatHippo: You have him on your bench?

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:04:03 +0000

@Grey:

Ludwick goes deep, deep, deep again.

Are you starting to think what I’m thinking?

Should I play him over Magglio?

@Baron Von Vulturewins: They are actually very difficult to contact.

By: Baron Von Vulturewins

@Grey: I'll contact the Amish.

royce! — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:42:55 +0000

@Grey: Yeah, I think you’re right about that. Even if I get rid of Sheets I’ll have 5 solid SP options. Thanks for talking me down.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:36:55 +0000

@royce!: Gotcha, misread the question. Honestly, I could go either way with Z and Kemp trade. Really about needs. You don't seem like you have a need for Z.

By: royce!

royce! — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:32:47 +0000

@Grey: I have Kemp. The league mate wants him. My initial response is negative b/c Kemp has been brilliant lately, and with Manny usually batting behind him, I assume his Rs will skyrocket as well.

My SP right now is Sheets, Lackey, Peavy, Baker, Jimenez, Carmona, Lester, Verlander and Harang (DL).

If I were to trade Kemp I would try to replace him w/ CoJack or Chone, whom I would hopefully get for Sheets.

Grey — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:20:05 +0000

@Baron Von Vulturewins: You build the barn. I'll see to the rest. @royce!: Can you afford to lose Z? Jackson, Chone then Hart

By: royce!

royce! — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 00:15:04 +0000

League mate offered Zambrano for Kemp. My initial response is negative, but should I consider it?

Also, I want to rid myself of Sheets. I’ve narrowed down possible trades for Cory Hart, Chone Figgins, or Conor Jackson. My needs for steals and power are about equal. How would you all rank them?

@Baron Von Vulturewins:

Leland should demote Rodney to Piss Boy.

Leland, “You look like the piss boy.”

Rodney, “and you look like a bucket of shit.”

Farnsworth can join him out behind the barn.

By: Baron Von Vulturewins

Baron Von Vulturewins — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:26:04 +0000

@Grey: Can we please just take Fernando Rodney out behind the barn and shoot him?

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 22:09:02 +0000

@BigFatHippo: Well, I figured he was the closer, but remember Rauch only got 17 saves in over half a season. @wakeNbake: Parra, Nolasco, Ubaldo @Steve: I'd grab Nady right now.

By: Steve

Steve — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 21:23:24 +0000

@Grey: Nady obviously went crazy today, but who do you like better out of him and Willingham? I have Juan Rivera at LF and while he obviously has power, the guy seemingly can't take a walk (at least not this week!) and that hurts in an OBP league. Would you drop him for Nady or Willingham?

By: wakeNbake

wakeNbake — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 21:09:34 +0000

@Grey: How would you rank Parra, Nolasco and Ubaldo against each other??

By: BigFatHippo

BigFatHippo — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 20:20:03 +0000

@Grey

Hanrahan looks like a Closer now.

1 IP, 1 HR, 9.00 ERA, 1 Save

@Mike: I would make that drop/pickup.

By: Mike

Mike — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:53:19 +0000

oh ok, also somebody dropped Aaron Cook in my league. I kinda like Aaron Cook and am thinking about dropping Clay Buchholz for him.

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:47:22 +0000

@Mike: BTW, he's the Mets minor league closer.

By: Grey

Grey — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:46:10 +0000

@Mike: Yeah, I should've said there's a chance of either or with a possibility of Kunz.

By: Mike

Mike — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 18:42:29 +0000

I also read that Manuel said they could use Eddie Kuniz to close…. never heard of that guy
