Which side of this trade do you like in a “keep 14 guys” league (keeper-dynasty mix)? Keep in mind that my hitting stats have been very poor lately, but A-Rod is sliding off and is on his way out. Could use some help on pitching, as my top 3 are probably Lee, Haren, and Hellickson.

@Steve: Why are the Reds wasting time with Leake in the bullpen? Just send him down.

@grey (or anyone else) – thinking about offering Liriano for Gallardo. Now is certainly the time to sell one and buy the other. Thoughts?

I’m in a points league btw.

There we go! That’s the Liriano I drafted. Took a shot and started him and the newly acquired Edwin Jackson and it paid off.

Now if we could get Ubaldo going, I’d be a happy camper.

Thanks Mr. Fuentes. Just when I think I will actually get out of a day of pitching with no huge blowups. Nice to have a reminder the world is a cruel, unforgiving place.

@Wilsonian: For sure, thanks. Yeah I basically came on to Razzb to see if others felt the same way. Not an ounce of disagreement from me, I felt the same way... I was just a victim of my own impatience. I think I also tried to outsmart myself and everyone else by "selling high" on Berkman and "buying low" on Bruce and Latos -- the problem is that I sold way too high (and gave too much value) and bought way too low (and received too little value). Damn you, Jay Bruce, and your Sept-Oct 2010 splits.

@Dad: I was curious too. I remember thinking his arm was gonna fall off before he got the no-no.

@Wilsonian: latos too,he left with the lead and a good pitvhed game till the bullpen blew it

By: Carl Spackler

Carl Spackler — Wed, 04 May 2011 04:14:29 +0000

Ok so rank these going forward Jordan Zimmerman, Bedard, Dempster, Kyle Drabek, Matt Harrison

Looks like Leake heading to the bullpen for the Reds. Wood to stay in the rotation, Cueto to go on Sunday. Dusty could always change his mind, though…

@Eddie: @Wilsonian: You're right. The Baseball Reference link was up until 2008. I don't subscribe to update, so good call.

@Grey: Thoughts on starting Wood tomorrow? It's H2H and Gallardo, Rauch and dlR have already laid waste my ratios. I also have Scherzer available t6o me.

@AM2: damn, that really sucks then. I was hoping to not come off as a dick, it was not my intention. I'm notorious for letting trades hang out for only a day or less and if I get nothing back, I cancel after a change of heart. And it could turn out to be ok for you, especially if Wallace ends up molly-whopping. He won't hit .360 all year, but he could be that stud that everyone was talking about (and every team was apparently dealing) the last couple of years. I do like Latos better than my cousin, but not much. And like I said, Stanton and Bruce are basically the same player. And Berkman will fall off. He hasn't been healthy the past few years, he's not gonna hit 50 HRs and hit .375. He's gonna hit .290 and hit about 25 HRs - assuming he's healthy. But to get to that point, he's not gonna be worth a shit over the next 5 months. It's not that it's an AWFUL trade, just that those three could net you a Bruce and two other key pieces.

@Dad: Didn't Edwin Jackson allow 7 BB in his no hitter?

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Wed, 04 May 2011 03:55:13 +0000

Is this redemption night, or what? Liriano with a a No-No; Dempster pitching really well, although currently losing (1-0); CarGo (slam and legs)… What’s next? Is Dunn actually going to get a hit tomorrow?

By: AM2

AM2 — Wed, 04 May 2011 03:52:56 +0000

@Wilsonian: No, you're not being a dick.... I was going to pose the question "how much did I eff up my team with this trade?" But I thought it'd be too loaded a question. Thanks for the input, and I totally agree... not a good trade. Here's what happened: I proposed the trade about 12-14 days ago when Stanton hadn't hit his 1st HR yet and Berkman was still just reasonably hot. Of course, I let the trade offer just hang out there without canceling it when Berkman got hotter and Stanton started to heat up, and OF COURSE the other team accepted the trade on Sunday after Berkman and Stanton hit HRs (not that it really makes that big of a difference). The main thing is that there's NO WAY I make that trade offer last week. Let this be a lesson to everyone else (though it should be obvious), DO NOT LET TRADE OFFERS LINGER I'm hoping Bruce goes .275-90-28-100-16 and Latos improves, and Stanton to only hit 30 HRs and Berkman to start cooling off.
