Different things… If you need steals, Campana… Hold on the SPs…

@Rudy Gamble, If I recall correctly, I think they said “Gonna shove it your mouth, still you start to spasm,” or something like that.

I also like the Canadian-centric turn the podcast has taken. Not that I’m Canadian (New Yorker), I just find the idea of Razzball taking Canada by storm amusing. I guess I just find Canadians amusing in general.

easy there, Al Capps. Campana. I’d hold tight on SPs – no clear upgrade there. Have fun at HH Homerfree Retrodome!

Oh, that OPS.

hmm, seems kind of even. I prefer Tex-Jeter-Shields b/c I’m bearish on Haren this year (see risky pitcher post) and permanently bearish on Peralta.

Did they have free agency when Moyer was in his 20′s?

yeah, i was tempted not to reveal the lyrics to allow for interpretation but i was afraid of what our readers’ subconsciouses would fill in. One of the contestants in our ‘cover our theme’ contest had something akin to mouth rape in the lyrics. Yowzas.

Thanks on batting shoulder. Was a rare time I pulled the ‘Letterman’ and called back a joke that didn’t go over well the first time. I’ll probably keep doing it just to annoy Grey and Nick.

We’ve sounded better than we expected. Must be that our studio guys are better than those on podcasts we’ve guested. Glad my 2-week stay at the James Earl Jones voiceover sleepaway camp worked out.

ROSS OR CAMPANA?
WHICH PITCHER SHOULD I DROP? LILLY OR SCHERZER FOR WHICH ONE OF THESE FA. VOLQUEZ, MINOR, MILONE, NALOSCO, OR HARRISON.
THANKS!

howie K and ted lilly for Hosmer/Sale?

Which side?

By: Rudy Gamble

Rudy Gamble — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:41:45 +0000

Eh, I’d just play Avila. I don’t like rostering two catchers. Prefer to take fliers on an OF, SP, or RP that might break out.

Samardzjia looks great so far. My reservation on him is he’ll tire as the season goes on and hasn’t made it through the young pitcher gauntlet. But with that arm, maybe he should’ve QB’d instead of Brady Quinn. Reminds me of the story where Fighting Irish alumni Joe Theismann and Drew Pearson went to the same high school. Pearson was a Junior, Theismann a senior. Theismann broke the school record for passing throwing to Pearson. Pearson moved to QB the next year and broke Theismann’s record…

Drop Belt to claim K.Morales?

Try to buy low on Stanton by offering Boesch or hold?

What kind of fantasy potential are we looking at for Kyle Drabek, assuming he really has put things together this year?

@Rudy Gamble, Thanks Rudy. I’m a big Cubs & Notre Dame fan so I picked up Samardzija and dropped Hochevar. I agree that they are both pretty similar but I feel Samardzija has more upside & more downside depending if he can get his splitfinger over.

Have a crappy dilemma in my OF with Torres returning on Monday.

Stanton, Ethier, Bruce, Nieuwenhuis, Parra, Campana with Torres (DL)

Do I drop someone to bring back Torres or stick with this crew for now?

@Rudy Gamble, oooooh, “Only one jokes and yelps in awful radio voices”. Now it makes sense.

For the record I like your radio voices.

By: Art Vandelay

Art Vandelay — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 17:20:18 +0000

@Rudy Gamble, Awesome, thanks Rudy! Yeah, the “awful radio voices” line and the “moises” lines I couldn’t pick up. Which is strange given the amount of time I’ve spent listening to punk rock singers trying to do the faux-nasal vocal style. Also, I can’t believe I totally forgot about that Moises Alou thing, which would’ve possibly made it easier. Shame on me.

Also, FWIW, I thought your joke about Ellsbury’s “batting shoulder” was hilarious. Grey was off-base on that one.

Hello again gents. One more question for you.

I just added Kuble but should I drop him for one of the following:

Parra
Newenwhatthehell (Mets)
Joyce
Wells
Scheirholtz

Thanks again guys.

@Rudy Gamble, To be fair, Moyer missed a couple seasons in the early 90′s, so it’s unlikely the Cubs would have retained his rights anyway.

@Jobu’s Rum, I think they’re all around the same for long-term potential with Floyd having the longest track record. I think Duffy and Nicasio are the only ones with top 20 pitcher potential.

@Eng, Pianowski is decisive on trades. I see his line of thinking b/c Andrus doesn’t seem to be stealing much. He trades us Gardner for Seth Smith last year which worked out in our favor…

Soto just dropped in my 15 team league. Upgrade over Hundley?
