I am guessing when you say this each time
“If it makes you feel better, I grabbed him in one league.”

Its the same league every time isn’t… I won’t be surprised if you created a ” I-grabbed-him-in-one-league” team so you can just say it and fool the ” competition” and make us , the fans ((( No, Really)))) pick the player thinking
” Grey’s Got him too , how bad can he be ” and thats why David Murphy is on my team now…..

He’d never work. Stephen from Seattle is bonkers. Was arrested for being a street walker and is now out of the closet after slapping a girl for saying he was gay on the show. Puck’s an All-Star. Also, need to squeeze CT in just because he’s CT.

I think there needs to be a “The Real World: All-Stars” where the craziest of the crazy live together. Hairdresser is obviously in, as is the crazy, drunken, coked out door puncher from Hollywood. Brooke from Denver (one of the best house meltdowns, and she cried when a dude asked her to go bowling), might have to make an exception and allow Belou from the 2nd season of Road Rules in there… she’s too crazy to pass up. Perhaps Landon, the drunken, knife-weilding Philly cast member, though I don’t know if he’ll be as crazy without his lover M.J. around (did you know they got matching tattoos after the show… truth). Perhaps that Masshole David from the Seattle cast who dated a producer and had a great tear-soaked meltdown himself… he’s unstable enough to make the cut. That makes six…who else?

@brad: Upton, Reynolds, CarGo and Morales, assuming you don’t have to choose until he’s definitely healthy. Otherwise, Weeks.

I’ll see if I can trade the others for guys that would help more this season.

J-Up – round 9
Weeks – round 15
Reynolds – round 17
K Johnson – round 20
Kendry Morales – round 21
Carlos Gonzalez – round 22

I’ve already committed to keeping A-Rod in round 2 if that influences a decision.

For this year, I’d lose Wells.

Grey – NL only keeper league, should I waive Randy Wells (8 bucks) or Vincente Padilla (6 bucks) for Minor? (I have 8 bucks to spend, hope that will do it)..

thanks

Been screwed before with someone going down with injury and no back-up for two months.

I also have 5 closers, those being K-Rod, Feliz, Soria, Capps, Aardsma and my worst SP is Scherzer. The only guys that seem likely to be dropped by me are Aardsma or Pence/Krispie. Would you drop any of them for an August LaRoche, Quentin, or Vernon to move into that last UTIL spot and rotate with Pence and Krispie? I’m leaning towards Aardsma for LaRoche. Either way, this spot will be dropped for Utley when he returns.

@Howard: Yup

@KarlJ.: Looks fine.

@TheBravesWearPrado: Harden

@dsimon: It’s not good.

@Howard: Sure, for next year. I wouldn’t grab him this year.

Is he worth picking up going forward from a keeper standpoint? I know you were high on him in the spring. Does he still hold that upside tag?

Drew Stubbs

or

Chris Johnson

Right now Stubbs is on one of his awful cold streaks, and who would have known Chris Johnson would be a big player in fantasy BASEBALL.

I give up: Teixeira, King Felix, Desmond Jennings
I get back: Pujols, R Soriano, Markakis

Keeper league where we also count doubles, triples, OBP, SLG for hitters and L, CG, H, QS for pitchers.

My other pitchers already are Greinke, Verlander, CC, Colby Lewis, and Gio (with Jordan Zimmermann in reserves) and my OF (we start 4 + i usually have 1 or 2 in a UTIL slot) is CarGo, Cruz, Hart, Willingham, Ludwick, Pence, Span.

I love upgrading to Pujols. I have the SP depth. I could use some saves. I didn’t even think the Markakis/Jennings would be part of it, but that’s more than fair on my side, right?
