Just offered up Street for Guillen. They came back wanting Saito. My SS is Renteria/Kepp so need the upgrade. My other closers are Street (obviously), Rivera, Mikey G with Bucholz and Zumaya hovering. I’m relievers-only so want to keep a minimum of 3.

What say you Razzballers?

Oops. Be careful. He just hit one out

@Steve: Absolutely you drop Bruce for Gordon.

Are we at the point with Figgins of tossing him aside? I was afraid of this as he was on and off the DL. Now what is he 0 for 20+. Can’t steal bases if your not on them.

Drop Jay Bruce for Alex Gordon? Already have Markakis, Rios, Bourne and Hawpe in the OF.

@Grey:

BTW, in the last three days, I have basically exchanged:

Street/Headley/Drew/Maine
for
Lincecum/Atkins/Victorino.

@Rudy Gamble: I was going to drop him anyway as well. Would this version of Jocular Sphincteritis have a sub-category? Could we call it the Snyder Pie? I smell a glossary definition.

Adam Lind… were you serious about that?

He’s Matt Murton on a bad team.

On the plus side, he’s from Muncie, Indiana… Dropping Melky for Muncie…

Okay, I’m officially bored at work.

I could not hit accept quickly enough

@RT: You're getting Victorino/Lincecum? You do that trade immediately.

Speaking of Victorino… Just got an offer:

JD Drew/Maine
4
Lincecum/Victorino.

I’m on the Lincecum side.

@Nick: Well then drop someone and pick up Victorino. What is this, an 8 team league?

By: Nick

Nick — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:50:46 +0000

Both Gomez & Victorino are on waivers…

@IowaCubs: Busted a nut! Ha. This is what we call a case of Jocular Sphincteritis. It's anything from sack to back that hurts even just when hearing it. Snyder was sucking on my 10-team league so this gave me the impetus to finally drop him...

@Baron Von Vulturewins: That’s Jockular Sphincteritis — http://razzball.com/fantasy-baseball-terms/ — you know that.

@Nick: He had leg problems and his legs are his game. Get someone with some speed. CarGo, Victorino, etc.

@Baron Von Vulturewins:

I don’t mean to break your balls here, (cough), … but this ruined my day.

Re: the RCL… hmm… I’m in last place, and my catcher busted a nut. Does this mean I have to make some adjustments? WOAH! K-O!

Nick — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 20:28:18 +0000

Chone Figgins is horrible! Is he going to come around? If I were to trade him, who should I look to get?

******HORRIFYING INJURY ALERT*********

From Rotoworld:

The Diamondbacks placed catcher Chris Snyder on the disabled list with a left testicular fracture.

Next season we’re starting a Fantasy Injury League: 2 pts. for anal fissures; 3 pts. for testicular fractures; 5 pts. for infected brain.

@BSA: I will humbly disagree. Longo has hit 15 HRs in 2.5 months. He plays in a better offense. He has been dead hot for the last two weeks.

Gordon has more power than he’s shown thus far in a season and a half, but I don’t think he has more power than Longoria. He may be a better player over the next ten years, but not over the next four months.

I go away for a week and now we’re rating the comments? Darwinian.

P.S. You mock my RCL staff at your peril: Garza + Cain = Happy Baron.

By: BSA

BSA — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 17:33:35 +0000

@Grey: Looking at the numbers Longoria and Gordon look pretty similar. Part of me thinks I might see more out of Gordon over the coming months due to correction and Longo being a rookie and uncharted waters.

Cantu hasn’t homered since June 12th? Hmm…

Dallas McPherson’s up to 29 homers for AAA Albuquerque as of yesterday. I don’t know why the Marlins would keep that sort of power locked up in AAA.

My money’s on McPherson getting more homers than Cantu the rest of the season. Cust Kayin’.

@Grey: A few failed attempts, a restraining order, and the ultimate disappointment of discovering that the hot girl isn’t as hot up close as she looks from far away will not stop me – the pursuit is back on!

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:58:12 +0000

@Shogun: I think in your awesome example you owe it to all of us to continue the pursuit.

By: Shogun

Shogun — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:49:47 +0000

@Grey:

Thanks. In the past I’ve been infatuated with and spurned by Gordon like a creepy old guy pursuing a hot young girl, but that shouldn’t stop me from giving it another try, right? Right?

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:44:44 +0000

@Shogun: Gordon, Willingham, Cantu, Thome, Davis then Konerko, in that order.

@cruisinkc: He's pitched well recently so I'd do that if I needed a starter.
