@ep: No idea about Luke Scott. He had a good two week run, but that was weeks ago. Time to move on.

Unleashed many enjoyable harfs at Tackleberry.
Thanks.

I picked up Correia in three leagues this morning. Glad to see my brainwaves, at least for the few seconds it took to click add, matched Grey the omniscient.

Why do I still have Luke Scott on my roster?

@Corey: on your team page go to the next day,if a sp has an arrow by his name then he`s starting,you can set up your pitchers usually a week in advance,something to remember,if you set your lineup for the next few days,then drop and add a person,recheck your lineup,sometimes (not sure why)it will change some things

It’s not that I need to know the probables to pick them up, I just want to know when my guys pitch, so I’ll know who to start or sit.

@Corey: yahoo`s probables are always tomorrow`s since any pickup is not effective till the next day

@Corey: Click the 'Players' link then click the 'Position' dropdown and there's an option to select 'Probable'.

Is there any way of finding probable pitchers on Yahoo?

@Steve: Ha, nice.

@Grey: Nice one – thanks. Pierre is there so I’ll go him.

You’ll like this – my undefeated run in my H2H league is over. After 7 wins and 4 ties (!) through the first half of the season, I’ve been beaten.

By my sister.

But don’t feel too bad for me. Pre-draft I ranked 100 or so players for her along Razzball lines (she ended up autodrafting) and you’ve since helped me fix up (most of) the bad half of her team.

So I kind of feel like my team has been beaten by my other team.

@Eric C.: What about Bourn and Aramis for Dunn? @Steve: Steals -- SAGNOF. If crazy loaded on steals, then I'll usually look at matchups for power. But I usually always go speed. @Mann of Sandd: I'd want Johan there. @nick m.: If you have an open DL spot, sure. I'd grab LaRoche.

@Steve: Good question. I usually sort with "hits" first and look at RBI's/HR's/SB's/Runs from that screen. And I usually use 15 days to 30 days for my stats.

@Steve: My opponent will have all his slots filled - six is the best I can hope for.

looking to fill my util. spot and a few players have been dropped due to lack of production/injury…who should i grap between cantu, jose lopez, hairston, adam laroche, or k. morales? and is alex gordon worth a pickup and stash in a dl spot in hopes he comes back and performs well after the all-star break?

weekly deadline is coming up….i’m in 3rd in a very competitive league…offense is my strength but my pitching staff is currently greinke, gallardo, baker, kuroda, smoltz, r. johnson, braden, cook, and lowe (usually start seven of those guys a week)…offer on the table (keeper league) is Johan ($47) and B. Molina ($4) for P. Sandoval ($3, C eligible this year), Chipper ($16) and Theriot ($1). My weakest offensive category is steals…..but i really could use help in k’s and era, would you make this deal?

@Eric C.: Sorry - should have said I'd be looking to grab a hitter.

By: Eric C.

Eric C. — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:34:23 +0000

@Steve: Wouldn't it depend on a combination of the day's schedule and ratio of batters:pitchers you're holding? I.E. Add a batter if you don't have all your batting positions being played or add a SP to spot-start if you're not likely to accumulate that many wins that week. Not sure if that helps.

By: Steve

Steve — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:29:09 +0000

Bit of a broad ranging one here. If you have space to pick up a player for a day and it doesn’t matter what the position AND it’s the start of a H2H week so you don’t have specific needs, what stat do you tend to look at when sorting players?

By: Eric C.

Eric C. — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:28:08 +0000

@Grey: Thanks. Last question for the night. What are good power OFs to trade for if I'm holding both Ellsbury and Bourne on my team? (I really don't need both on the same team). I was looking at trading away Ellsbury for Dunn or Dye, but I would obviously like to find a better match for Bourne.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:21:57 +0000

@Eric C.: Ah... I wouldn't do that. I'd trade him for a piece I needed elsewhere, or just play him at UTIL.

By: Eric C.

Eric C. — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:19:10 +0000

@Grey: Oh I meant trading AWAY A-Ram for Big Papi to use as a utility man.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:11:44 +0000

@Eric C.: If you have Huff, that doesn't seem like a necessary deal.

By: Eric C.

Eric C. — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 03:06:40 +0000

Prognosis on A-Ram the rest of the way? Worth trading him off for Big Papi, who gained 1B-eligibility recently? I have Huff the Magic Dragon manning 3B for me right now.

@AL KOHOLIC: Riemold was one of my better pickups. Theory is if you try out enough phenoms, at least one or two will hit. He looks like a keeper.

By: Grey

Grey — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:33:19 +0000

@Bob: I'd want Jones. @Bob: Bonifacio @Elijah: Same @G-RAM: I'd want Grandy there. The other deal isn't offensive. @martin: Against who? He's a 12/12 SS. @anoraxx: Ha! @Matt P: I think it's okay, but a bit too much for Bay. You can get Bay plus someone. @Maximus: You'll be too short on starters. I wouldn't do it. @Tony Y: I'd want CC there. @JR: Ha! @Mr Baseball: The rule of fours? @knighttown: Think you have to also give a pitcher, but you can try just Bruce. Then try him and Kuroda. @cubbies299: Lose Calero. He'll be there on wiavers even if he gets in the mix. @Robert: There's word in our forums. @matthole99: Bergesen -- Nope. Cabrera. All of your SPs aren't, I'd sell Cueto for Alexei, Drew or Tulo, in that order, if you can pull it off. I'd lose Mazzaro, Miller for Meyer and Thornton.

AL KOHOLIC — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 01:48:59 +0000

@matthole99: what about cook,correia?buckholtz might not pitch this year in boston,if he does,i want him,try trading cueto for a rollins or zobrist maybe,if not carerra looks decent and should run a bunch,70 steals last year

@Grey: Hello, have some roster questions if you can help….

Questionable guys that I am currently rostering in a 5×5 12 team roto Dave murphy, fowler, Mazzaro, Cahill, A. Miller, C.Bucholz

I have a solid pitching staff (haren, Cueto, wainrwright, harang, shields, garza) and was thinking of trading one of them for SS (which would u dish and which SS would you target with him, btw all of my SPs are on your sell list, niiiiice) ….

with that in mind or even if i hold all my SPs would you hold the aforementioned “questionable” SPs or use MRP, meyer, thornton, etc

Brad Bergesen for real?

callaspo or everth cabrera at SS?

Thanks again…

any word on why Cruz is out for the 2nd day in a row? Rest or hurt?
