@Simply Fred: Ha! I still would drop Beuhrle for Jackson; not perhaps for the other two. Interesting that out of these four pitchers, one pitched a perfect game and another a no hitter.

@Grey: Grey, on April 8 you were asked: "1.Hey Grey, Would you drop one of Beauhrle,J.Sanchez,Kawakami for E.Jackson?" Your reply, "1.@JavaBeanHead: Drop Buerhle for him." What were you thinking?

@Jack: Team B needs Peavy more than the other team needs Markakis. In the future, this sorta question would be best in the forums.

Trade – Who gets the better side of Chris Davis for Garrett Atkins?

Waiver Move – Which crappy C should I roster until Soto returns – Irod or Ramon Hernandez?

Thanks.

@Brad: Think we're going with "dropped a deuce," but thanks for the suggestion.

Here’s the term for Farnsworth, or what he did: A Flamer. As in your chances for a win went “up in flames” because Farnsworth delivered a flamer.

@Grey: vice-versa I get Qualls/Harang/Milledge. I asked that we do it only pending that Milledge gets PT. We're gonna wait a week and see how the nats outfield situation shakes out. If he doesn't, the guy said he'd also do Qualls/Wandy for my Agord. Which do you like better?

@cubbies299: So you're getting Lowe or vice versa?

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 06:10:37 +0000

Darn, he changed it to Lowe/A Gordon for Harang/Qualls/Milledge. Do I do this with the whole Milledge being benched deal?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 06:06:06 +0000

@Martin: The Giants experts I've talked to say 17 HRs tops. Seems about right. @PWNightmare: Inge might do it for ya for a week, maybe two. Then you're gonna be left with an icky feeling. @cubbies299: I wouldn't do that move.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 05:50:57 +0000

Hey. I just got offered Harang/Qualls for Lowe/Corpas. My only active closer is Mariano and I have Lyon, Corpas as the hopefuls that got screwed. Should I bite?

@cubbies299: I would think Cassila is next in line to Ziegler. I have a bad feeling about BJ, guess it depends how cheap you can get him and if it blows up in your face - can your team survive without both players in the deal.

Hey guys, is BJ Ryan a buy low candidate, or just plain risky and not worth it?

@Grey: Probably my bad for starting him, but we shouldn't be judging Carmona on one start in Texas, should we?

@Razzball: I’m just gonna ride this Inge thing out & feel good that he’s a Tiger. It sure beats my everyday 3rd baseman, Mike Lowell (thanks Troy Glaus & auto-draft)!

@Neologasm boys: Cream rises.

@BKK: Yeah, I was aware of that. Still, it was a sparkling start. They say they're using him the next time they need a 5th starter, which is like 2 weeks. I'll keep him rostered till then. He was filth encarnate today, and better yet displaying control, which was the one knock on him. Yeah, I'll probably drop Inge after I start him tomorrow on Ianetta's day off. Maybe for Uehara. AAlso, in a holds league, do you want Blevine, Carlson or Casilla? I like Blevine as he's the first in line if Ziegler falters

Do you start Garza against BOS manna? I don’t need to and I don’t see anything good coming from it expect him screwing up my ERA and WHIP for the week in Hd to Hd. Someone convince me otherwise.

@cubbies299: I did expect a couple K’s from Uehara. I did some diggin’ on him before I picked him up knowing not RAZZBALL is not bullish on him. Guys were comparing him to Dice-K. He seems to have go control. His fastball tops out at about 89 MPH from what I saw. He did strike out 17 in 13 innings, albiet most of those were against the NATS in ST.

Personally, I dislike Inge, he’ll hit the odd homerun, but his AVE is a killer. Iannetta sitting is pretty normal for a catcher. Same thing happened to me yesterday with Baker. They just want to ease these guys in I guess.

Morales: April 8, 2009
The Denver Post reports that shortly after shutting down the Diamondbacks and picking up his first win of the season, Franklin Morales learned that he was being optioned to Triple-A in order to open a spot for the newly acquired Jason Hammel.

Despite striking out three times and failing to lay down an eighth inning bunt on two attempts, Ozzie Guillen will continue to bat DeWayne Wise at leadoff, according to MLB.com.

So that makes him 6 for 8 in SO’s, what a great leadoff hitter. Earth to Ozzie, Earth to Ozzie, come in Ozzie…

It looked like Uehara couldn’t strike out a mufucka if they didn’t show up fo the ab. Still, he was in the strike zone and moderately deceptive against the yanks. Don’t think he’s waiver material, but I’ll try to grab him tomorrow. I finally drank the cool-aid and dropped swisher for Inge. He’s hit 3 hrs in the first 3 days and i looked at his stats and saw he’s much better offensively when he’s not playing catcher (and he’s only playing 3B this year). I have ianetta, who inexplicably gets benched for thorealballsack. You think Inge is rosterable?

Also, Morales pitched an utter gem today. Granted, the diamondbacks helped him out a bit with some free swinging, but he was mixing a 93 mph fastball with a 68 mph curve. Simply disgusting. Picked him up. What do you expect from him going forward?

Gambled on Uehara today. Seems like when I do the opposite it works out. Just call me George Can’tstandsya.

@Steve: Span @PWNightmare: At 2nd catcher, you should. Anywhere else except for a short time while Soto's hurt or something, nah. @Zebo: Ha and ouch. @vinko: Nice, thanks for the heads up.
