Morrison Breaks On Through
July 28, 2010
Category: Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes
Logan Morrison played at the same community college as Albert Pujols. That’s two more MLB players than Middlesex County College or MC-squared as we called it. Let’s look at what Stephen wrote about Morrison, “Blessed with a balanced, flat swing with plus-power, and the organization’s best plate-discipline… The only thing more exciting than Morrison is pasting copies of Grey’s photo to a dartboard and piercing his eyeballs.” Hmm… Hadn’t read that last part before. A rookie with good plate discipline and power is really all you need to know when considering a guy for keepers. Own and own now. So is it time to get on board the LogaMotive in redraft leagues? As a disgruntled horse would say, “What the hey?” When met with choosing between upside and a random schmohawk outfielder behind door number three, you go with upside. Just don’t crazy and drop anyone too valuable. I imagine Morrison will lose some playing time to Bonifacio and might struggle in the beginning. Conservatively, I’ve give him 8 homers and a decent average. The upside is obviously there and if he hits out of the gate, his name value will provide more than his actual worth on the trade market. A lot depends on if the Marlins take it fast or slow with LogaMo. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jason Bay – Out with a mild concussion. This would explain a lot if it happened in March and was just discovered.
Jonathon Niese – 6 IP, 1 ER, 9 baserunners, 1 K. Wasn’t the prettiest start, but I’ve seen worse. *cough* Wainwright *cough* Still, Niese has only one bad start in his last 10. Really no reason you shouldn’t own him.
Huston Street – Was hit by a line drive then fainted two or three times from the pain. Obviously I don’t wish ill on anyone, except for maybe Jason Bay. But how do you faint two or three times? You put the back of your hand to your forehead and you faint. Then you’re revived. That’s it. Let’s act it out. “The pain is terrible. I can’t take it, Jeeves. I just can’t.” You faint. Jeeves pats your forehead with a cold rag while your suitor waves his top hat to give you air. You waken. “Are you all right? You fainted.” “Yes, Jeeves. Thank you. Perhaps you could fetch me a glass of bubbly water.” See! One faint! Well, I grabbed Corpas wherever I had room. If anyone can take a day-to-day and turn it into a 60-day DL stint, it’s Street.
Jorge de la Rosa – 7 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 8 Ks. Now has back-to-back solid starts. Yes, I’d prefer him over Volquez at this point.
Troy Tulowitzki – 0-for-4 as he returned to the lineup. Hope his return this soon isn’t *pinkie to mouth* wristki.
Tyler Colvin – 2-for-4 with his 4th homer in the last week. Get ‘em while the gettin’s good. I before e, pick him up if you need outfield help.
Brett Myers – 9 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 12 Ks. Pitched brilliantly vs the Cubs. Brett Myers’ wife was just glad he didn’t win a slugfest because sometimes Brett brings work home with him.
Chris Johnson – 2-for-4. I picked him up for Monday’s short schedule day, but I held onto him a little longer and dropped someone else. Why? Cause Johnson’s crazy hot right now.
Hong-Chih Kuo – 2 IP, 0 ER, 5 Ks. His ERA is 0.79, his WHIP is 0.76 and lefties are 0-for-the-season off him. How’s your Holds guy doing?
Gavin Floyd – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks. Hasn’t given up more than 2 runs in any game since June 2nd. Yup.
Alexei Ramirez – 3-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 10th homer. He has 5 steals on the year and a .288 average. Take this how you want, but his stats are exactly what they should be.
Kerry Wood – Will close again when activated. The Indians should’ve added, “And we can’t wait for him to return, because we love love love having him as our closer. But we’d be willing to listen to offers if someone really wanted to trade for him.”
Josh Tomlin – 7 IP, 1 ER, 3 baserunners, 2 Ks. Josh Tomlin, who likes to talk about himself in the third person, said, “Josh Tomlin fears no man, woman or whatever A-Rod is.” Tomlin, 25, had a solid record in Triple-A this year – 2.68 ERA, 80:33 K:BB in 107 1/3 innings. Could be a decent AL-Only pickup since hitters won’t be familiar with him. You’re crazy if you grab him in mixed leagues. Cray. Zee.
Stephen Strasburg – Was scratched from his start when he couldn’t get loose. He has inflammation in his right shoulder. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Nats are very cautious and rest him for a week or so. When the crowd saw it was Batista and not Strasburg starting, it was almost a modern day, Disco Demolition Night. Like showing up at the theater and hearing, “Due to an illness to Kevin Spacey, his understudy will be performing tonight — the dad from The Hogan Family.”
Scott Olsen – Will return from the DL this Thursday. He’s worth a grab, if you’re hurting for a 5th fantasy starter, but I wouldn’t start him in his first game back.
Edinson Volquez – 3 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners, 3 Ks. Yeah, that wasn’t much better than his last start. Tommy John recipients tend to have command issues when they return and Volquez already had problems throwing a rock into the ocean without the assist from gravity. I’d start looking elsewhere.
Scott Rolen – 4-for-4, 3 RBIs in his 2nd game back. Or as I like to call it “two less days until his next injury.” If you’re hurting at your corner infidel spot, I could see grabbing him while he’s ‘healthy.’
Jose Lopez – Tight hamstring forced him from the game. He’s day-to-day, or Day II Day, if you’re into R&B.
B.J. Upton – Twisted ankle and left the game. He’s day-to-day, which isn’t nearly as exciting as one day until Desmond Jennings’ day.
Justin Upton – Left with hip tightness. The Uptons should have never vacationed to Hawaii and stole that tiki idol from Vincent Price.
Shane Victorino – Is it me or did the entire league get hurt yesterday? His oblique injury looked like it could mean a DL stint. He could barely throw the ball back in. Victorino said he’s hoping to avoid the DL. Oh, who cares what Victorino’s saying? Here comes Domonic Brown! Maybe. But pick him up just in case.
Dan Haren – Hey, some good injury news! Haren says he’ll be able to make his next start.
John Lackey – 7 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 4 Ks vs. his former club, the Angels, as the Rally Monkey tipped his cap one last time.
J.J. Hardy – 3-for-5, 2 RBIs and a homer. I’ve quietly owned Hardy in one league for a week or two. He’s hit in 8 of his last ten games and is capable of hitting 10 homers in the last two months. It’s not much until you consider it’s at MI.
Danny Valencia – 4-for-4 on Monday, 4-for-5 yesterday… 14 for his last 19. Yeah, I grabbed him in multiple leagues. I think he flames out as quick as he’s heated up, but who knows? Maybe he’ll Chris Shelton it for three weeks. Oh, and if you’re wondering who I dropped. Dexter Fowler, you’re dead to me until you start hitting again. Get well soon!
Mike Gonzalez – 1 2/3, 0 ER. Meanwhile, Alfredo got creamed. You do the math!
Jose Bautista – 4-for-4, 5 RBIs and two homers to bring his total to 30. Okay, I was way off with this guy, but I don’t think even Jose Bautista saw this year coming. This is the craziest HR season since Brady Anderson suddenly hit 50 HRs. Bautista hadn’t hit 30 homers in the past two years combined in 350 extra ABs. It’s okay, it’ll make next year’s overrated post that much sweeter to write.
Cliff Lee – 9 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 13 Ks. On the season, he has 114 Ks to 7 walks. There’s gonna be some upset people on the internet when he loses the Cy Young because he doesn’t have enough wins.
Michael Wuertz – 1 IP, 2 ER and the first two run outing in over a month. I haven’t had a year like this in a while. I literally pick up a middle reliever to vulture saves and he invariably gives up runs. It’s the Wuertz!
Tommy Hanson – 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 8 Ks. Best looking start for Hanson in over a month. Could be headed for a solid finish on a pretty lukewarm season.
Chris Coghlan – He tore his meniscus while throwing a pie in Wes Helms face. This is the worst pie-related injury since Stan Gable’s heart was broken when he saw his Betty topless at the bottom of a Nerd-sold creme pie. But pie-related injuries go back centuries. The first known pie-related injury was when Euclid hurt his pelvis during a visual explanation of circumference. Chris Coghlan’s offseason workout program will be him serving tables at Marie Callender’s.

very good write-up. your best in a while.
in a 12 team H2H points league i am looking for my OF3.
Here are my options:
Mike Stanton, Tyler Colvin, Drew Stubbs
Who do you like best the rest of the way?
(scoring is very fair and awards power, speed, and all other categories equally)

July 28th, 2010 at 1:03 am
Always have Hong-Chih Kuo on all my teams.
Who will win the CG battle, Halladay or Lee?

July 28th, 2010 at 1:20 am
I feel like a kid at the rookie store. Morrison, Brown, or Jennings in a re-draft league? Thanks.

@JoefromPP: Hey now, you trying to make the other posts (or was that write-ups?) feel bad? (btw Rite-Up was the deodorant-flavored supermarket-brand soft drink bane up my youth)
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 1:40 am
@JoefromPP: For what it’s worth (nothing), I’d probably take Colvin down the stretch. Stubbs can steal and go on crazy homer benders, but can also go 0-fer-the-love-of… and Stanton’s kinda raw.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 3:15 am
My ‘best’ options to replace Vólquez:
Jonathan Sánchez
Hiroki Kuroda
A.J. Burnett
Jair Jurrjens
Shaun Marcum
Jorge De La Rosa
Brett Myers
Jonathon Niese
Am I going to end up playing juggle the spot starter for the remainder of the season? Or does one of these names stand out to you?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 3:43 am
ok so this sounds like a no brainer, but hear me out:
12 team mixed keeper league. we keep 3 players each year. Im currently sitting in first place, and was offered a trade by a team that has essentially been eliminated.
I get:
Pujols
Cano
Nolasco
Marcum
I give:
Votto (who can be kept in the 3rd round next year)
Latos (can be kept in the 14th round next year)
Kelly Johnson (can be kept in the 17th round next year)
do i take it and go for broke this year? or can i (cant believe im saying this) get more for these guys if i trade them in separate deals?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 4:25 am
I need a bat…Torres or Ibanez?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 4:50 am
Grey : Would you drop Edison for one of the following as I need someone to mop up his mess and the FA market is THIN: Brian Duensing, Barry Enright or Scott Olsen?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 5:09 am
My Haren for his Ichiro. I’m over in IP and way out in front in wins/k’s but at the bottom in runs. Good, bad, fair?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 5:16 am
@knighttown: if you want Rs go for someone else. ichiro is tied for 154th in Rs. seriously.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 5:19 am
@KCC26: can you keep any of the guys you are trading for? i would take it asap either way.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 5:35 am
yeah i can keep any of them, but those guys wouldnt come at any kind of discount. so id lose my 1st rounder to keep pujols, whereas id be able to keep votto sacrificing only a 3rd rounder.

July 28th, 2010 at 6:02 am
“The first known pie-related injury was when Euclid hurt his pelvis during a visual explanation of circumference.”
Stands. Claps.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:04 am
@Grey: Would you make this trade for either of these 4 pitchers… my Gallardo/J. Upton OR Gallardo/Vlad for either Wainwright OR J. Johnson OR Halladay OR Cliff Lee?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:25 am
@Fletch: i feel like upton or vlad is a pretty good hitter to give up for the potentially negligible difference between gallardo and the other 4 guys. outside of WHIP and proven late season innings eaters, those guys really don’t bring much more to the table than gallardo. just my opinion.
i’d at least want some lower end piece coming back my way too. like one of the better sagnofs if you need steals or saves or something.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:28 am
@KCC26: i’d probably still do it. i mean, you aren’t gonna get a better 1st rounder than pooholes. and i wouldn’t keep kel-jo with a 17th rounder anyway. has he done anything since mid-may? latos would be nice with a 14th round keeper slot, but it’s not gonna devastate you, and he’s gonna be iffy the rest of the way dpending on how he tires out and whether the pads try to push him for a playoff run.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:28 am
1st off whoever i said “always pitch wainy” to yesterday and grey agreed over 2 starts by Hammel (PHI) i apologize….. wow, wainy got BOMBED.
@grey: Logan Morrison over Bruce? I know Bruce could get hot outta no where, buts been 100 games now…. at least this would get bruce off my bench?
DLR over corpas (just snagged for street i dont need saves really), leake, or freddy garcia…. one of these schmucks has to be droppable?
My H2H team is facing Batista this week, awesome, and i just posted last night AT LEAST HIM HITTING ALL THESE HR’S MEANS SOME SCHMOE IN MY LEAGUE WILL TAKE HIM IN THE 4TH RD NEXT YEAR…..
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:41 am
Time to give up on Jay Bruce? He really hasn’t produced anything, and consistently is unprodcutive when the Reds score double digit runs.
Would you own any of these guys over bruce in a non-keper league?
Tabata, matsui, colvin, delwyn, stanton, morrison, cody ross, laporta, seth smith
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:45 am
add domonic brown to that list
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:54 am
Would like to pick up a 1B in Morneau’s absence. I’ve had a string of people on the DL so I already had 2 players more than the max 22. I dropped Harang to make some room. Considering dropping either Alfredo Simon or Alcides Escobar to grab Luke Scott or Gaby Sanchez. Who would you drop, Simon or Escobar?
Thanks.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Grey, is that MCC in central Jersey? You and I must have been neighbors growing up. There are not too many places for a fellow Jewish Yankee fan to grow up in over there.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 7:06 am
Is Kuo a potential top 100 player next year in leagues that count HLDs?
Kinda crazy to think about keeping a setup guy, but he’s just so dang dominant when he’s not hurtin’… though there’s the caveat.
Plus, my other fringe keeper choices aren’t very inspiring. I mean Figgins and Roberts? Perhaps Huff?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 7:15 am
By the way, did you know that Euclid’s Whip was 3.14159265? It’s true; check out Elias Sports Bureau. (By the way, what kind of clothes does one keep in the Elias Sports Bureau? I’d guess lots of sox. Thank you! I’m here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waiters and waitresses…)

Has anyone seen a video of Street’s injury? Perhaps I’m disturbed for wanting to watch it…
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 7:33 am
Grey, if you got time, what are you thinking of for Haren rest of the year? I just claimed him off waivers in my AL only keeper for Freddy Garcia and would like your thoughts.
(The rest of this is just gloating, but I need to do it somewhere…) I also am ecstatic about this, as thanks to the wacky rules of our keeper league, I get Haren next year for $5, and the year after that for $8. Nothing better!

July 28th, 2010 at 7:49 am
Grey, I am building for the future in my dynasty league and a lot of people want to trade for Pujols. (Wonder why….Hmmm…) But anyways, what would you consider a “good return” for Pujols? I don’t really want to trade him, but if I can get more than he is worth I’ve got to trade him right? Like would you take Stanton and Fielder for Pujols?
[Reply]
@joe from point pleasant: Thanks! Colvin…
@DrEasy: Hehe
@Bill: Never bet against Halladay in CGs.
@Asdrubal Bastardo: Morrison…
@Aharon: Ha
@Daniel: Sanchez
@KCC26: I’d take it.
@Ron Washington’s Stache: Torres
@Mr2Bits: Nope
@knighttown: @Fletch: Agree with Poon.
@Black Beard: Hehe
@Tony: I’d lose Garcia. I’d want Bruce over Morrison.
@Time Theft Bandit: Tabata if you need steals, I’d want Bruce though.
@stynyr: Escobar for Scott…
@Curly Day: Yeah, I’m from Jersey.
@papasmurf: Kuo looks incredible, I wouldn’t keep him.
@Rabbit: Hehe
@Black Beard: Haven’t seen it.
@Ryan Beariot: I just went over Haren when he was traded. Search the site.
@AL KOHOLIC: Hehe
@GopherDay: I’d take that deal for Pujols.

[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:06 am
@Grey: What about Morales and Stanton? Keep in mind I’m out of it this year.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:13 am
@GopherDay: I read recently that over the past 3 years Pujols has shown regression in OPS, wOBA and contact rate. He’s also swinging at more pitches outside the zone. Thing is, the guy will likely still put MVP numbers for 3-4 more years.
That being said, I wouldn’t do the Morales/Stanton deal because I would figure you might be hurting your chances for the next couple of years and both those players come with a fair amount of uncertainty. Just my two cents.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:15 am
@Grey: If you had to lose one of these outstanding SP in a standard 10 team H2H league who would it be? I think my top 4 are solid, but I may want another closer soon…
U Jimenez
C Sabathia
C Hamels
D Price
R Dempster
J Shields
C Billingsley
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:24 am
@GopherDay: you should be able to get back something more proven for immediate help than morales + a top tier long term prospect like stanton for pooholes.
morales projects as not better than the 8th or so best 1B over the next 3-4 years. i’d take pooholes, fielder, tex, howard, youk, votto, adgonz, and morneau over him for the next few seasons.
nothing wrong with morales, he’s a great steal for a 1B when you draft him after all those guys, but you are talking about keeping him and trading away pooholes.
[Reply]
@Fletch: Nope
@GopherDay: Agree with Poon.
@Joe B: Price
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:37 am
Would you trade Brian Roberts for Mark Buerhle in a keeper league? I have Rickie Weeks right now playing 2B. Thanks!
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Grey or anyone else:
I had both Upton and Victorino get hurt yesterday, so I will most likely need to pick up someone to fill in, at least for a day or two. Who of the following seems the most promising, specifically for the next few days:
Dominic Brown/Desmond Jennings/Pacman/Pence/Pagan/Beltran/Morgan/Bruce/Pods/Torres?
[Reply]
@Sam: Nope
@Chili Davis Con Carne: Pagan…
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:50 am
@Sam: i wouldnt,a mediocre pitcher at best with no k,s .surley there are free agents as good as him
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:54 am
I’ve got Chris Davis and Alex Gordon sucking up my DH and 1 bench spot right now. Either worth dropping for Domonic Brown or Logan Morrison?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 8:54 am
I am in an 8 team H2H Keeper Points (2 DH) League. My current starting roster is:
C: Carlos Santana
1B: Buster Posey
2B: Ian Kinsler
3B: Alex Roriguez
SS: Hanley Ramirez
OF: Vlad Guerrero
OF: Matt Holliday
OF: Matt Kemp
DH: Jason Heyward
DH: Adrian Gonzalez
Pretty friggin awesome, right?
I am not in first place anymore, thanks to 2 weeks of futility. Currently my team is 6-53 this week with 1 extra base hit and 13 K. Also, throw in 1 CS.
I don’t need any help, just wanted to vent.
THANKS TEAM!! LUV YA!!

@Real Tom: Ha!
@Frank Kim: I’d take either. Lee first.

July 28th, 2010 at 9:07 am
In my h2h league I’m leading in ERA and WHIP, tied in Ks and Ws. Is it worth taking a shot with Richard the Hodgepadre or Travis Wood? I’d have to jump off the Wandwagon to do so.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:10 am
@Grey: Thanks!
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:13 am
@Frank Kim: I think you’ll need to offer a lot more for either of those pitchers.
I have found that no one trusts Rios’s 2010 stat line, and Stubbs is mired in a slump.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am
He needs saves and steals, I need Ks.
Marmol/Tabata too much to give for Weaver?
Could ask for Weaver and Kubel, but I don’t want to scare him off.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:14 am
gotta start Burnett @ Cle, right?
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:20 am
@Grey: Do you think David Price is going to hit the proverbial wall the rest of the way? Is he not going to give a sub-4.00 ERA, 70/30 K to BB ratio, and 5 wins for the Rays? Grey… do you hate David Price???
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 9:22 am
@Grey:
But by league rule I need to keep a minimum number of keepers. And my choices for the last spot aren’t great. At least Kuo is dominant over other setup men. Still, I probably won’t keep him.
The dilemma of having a crappy roster and being forced to keep guys I don’t want to keep.
[Reply]
@Earl Battey: Richard
@Ceasar: That’s fair.
@bravo: Yeah, unfortunately.
@Joe B: I don’t hate him, I do think he’s closer to a high 3 ERA guy the rest of the way.
@papasmurf: Gotcha…

@Grey:
Which side do you perefer in each trade?
Gallardo/Adam Jones for Liriano/Carlos Santana

I have the Gallardo side. Don’t know if it makes any difference, but Wieters is my starting catcher.

@Grey:
Thanks for the input Grey. I just really wanna solidify my offense because it’s the only chance I have at winning against streamers in the playoffs. But alas, I’ll stand pat with Jones and Gallardo. Anyways, who do you see having the better 2nd half, Wells or Wandy?
[Reply]
@Shmorgie S. Board: That was the runner-up.
@Eric C.: Lewis…
@dingers: Morrow for Richard.
@Black Beard: Nice!

You watch the Cardinals last night and see Pujols wincing and holding his side? Any word on whether something is wrong? I saw LaRussa denies it, but my gut says this could be worse than they are letting on.

July 28th, 2010 at 11:03 am
I need help on Brown too. Of these four, which one goes: LaRoche, Chris Young, Beltran, or Brown?
Thanks as always!
[Reply]

@steamer: It depends on the league, but I would. If Dom starts hot, then you’ve got a nice trade chip. Also, it’s unlikely that anyone’s going to grab LaPorta as soon as you drop him, so you could always pick him up again.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 11:08 am
@CoreyII: I saw that, too. With the way he’s been playing – which is, to say, more human than usual – one can’t help but wonder. But he’s probably fine. After all, the guy’s been playing with only 1 elbow for years.

Thanks!

July 28th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Seriously, Yahoo! doesn’t have someone that can keep track of official roster moves and make the appropriate changes within 5 minutes? Is this guy on a constant smoke-break or something? It’s so fricking excruciating waiting for the DL tag so you can actually pick up the call-up. If you drop someone instead, then you risk not getting that player back — what’s the point of even having the DL tag if you have to wait around for them to add whenever they damn well please???
I hope Domonic Brown eats a wall in his first game.
[Reply]
@Just another guy: Brown, but McCutchen is way further along for the near future.
@mc serch: Kuroda…
@Black Beard: Lind

Hi Grey — Is it worth dropping Volquez even in a 20-team roto league? I’ve started him every game back (I’m way behind on innings so I’ve had to roll the dice) and he’s killed me where I’m weakest, the pitching ratio stats.
I don’t think I’ll start him again, but I was thinking it might be worth holding onto him as trade bait if he has a good start next time out. If I cut him I don’t have a specific pickup in mind, but I could use the spot for the hot bat du jour.
If it matters, the rest of my pitching staff is Beckett, Latos, Hamels, JaWeaver, and Deusning.
[Reply]
July 28th, 2010 at 11:33 am
In my 14-team h2h, I currently have Iannetta as my C due to Doumit slamming his head against something (probably out of frustration for catching one out of a million base stealers). Dude with Carlos Santana also has V Mart, and wants to know what Brown can do for him. This seems obvious to me, but I’m not as well informed about what we should expect from Brown. So should I offer him Brown for Santana?
[Reply]
@Enrique: I’d bench him, not drop him.
@royce!: It’s a non-keeper, right? Sure, I’d take Santana if that’s what you need. Probably could get a bit more right now since his hype’s on overdrive.

Keeper Deal (14 team Deep Rosters)
I give Lester/Bailey/McCutchen, I get Longoria/Kershaw/Venters. Holds count. Am I giving too much? Is it wrong that I just don’t care about saves? I mean I’ve got Brian Wilson and that is just because he is a bad-ass on the mound.

Now that I’ve added Brown I have 8 guys for 6 spots (5 OF + Util). In addition to Brown I have Choo, Krispy, Delmon, Denard, Bruce, Gomes, Papi and the Dread Pirate.
Should I try to package one of those guys with MMD to get Kinsler? If so, which one? Maybe Papi plus an OF? The other owner could use help in the OF and the Utility spot.

Not a good trade? Is Andrew Bailey the deal breaker? The trade now looks like this:
Give Lester/Bailey/Dread Pirate
Get Longo/Kershaw/Venters/Colvin or Tabata
Does the addition of Colvin or Tabata make it any better? Please explain “Oh Great Mustacheo’d One”.

Grey………Keeper league #2 for me has been a poor season , currently 10th out of 14. Thanks to Granderson , Choo, Figgins ???? Beckett and Haren. Things may be looking up but realisticly its too late to be a podium finish.
My question is this , one of the contenders is keen on Granderson , now that he is hot of course and also wants Axford , Up for grabs is Grady Sizemore and Cueto
Its Sizemore that has me keen……a 5 tooler for a ‘platoon player’ and four years left on the keeper , gotta do it don’t I ???
[Reply]
@d2bnz: I’d take Sizemore if you can’t get someone who’s currently healthy. Never know how he’s going to look in the spring or if he’ll be healthy.

Long time reader, first time poster…wait, that’s a damned lie! I basically stalk you and this site and make you run my team for me. Anyway, legitimate question(s) here:
In my 16 Team H2H Keeper, I’ve made some solid pickups of the youngins this year with Boesch, Smooth, and now Brown and LoMo. I’m wondering if Boesch is worth the drop for any of the following: Snider, Colvin, Glaus, Crash Davis, Harden, Gio, Hanrahanrahanrahan?
What’s your take on Brown remaining with the big boys this year? I haven’t heard anything about Victorino’s injury or the length of time he’s expected to be out. Is Brown ownable in an 8 Team Keeper?
