@Colin: Zimmermann's not pitching bad, per se, but if he's not striking guys out, the Nats slow ass defense is not gonna help him. He could have gotten out of the 4th inning earlier if it wasn't for Bumblehands Guzman.

Votto reportedly just felt dizzy, hopefully from the flu he’s been fighting.

Somone PLEASE tell me why Zimmermann can’t get people out with the stuff he has? He’s been pitching like ass since his debut and now he can’t even get the losers on the Giants out.

For the love of God Braves would you please call up Tommy Hanson already so I can have a REAL fkn pitcher on my team? K thanks.

Well I don’t know what to expect from the rest of the week now. Fielder, Jones, and now Ian Stewart have each hit 2 HR today for me. Makes having C. Davis on the bench hurt a lot less.

would u consider zito tomorrow at all?

Prince — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:49:40 +0000

Of course I didn’t start him, as I seem to make the wrong choice more often than not, but Jurrjens .. man, the dude is hot.

Would JD “yes, I’m injured” Drew be a good replacement for either Corey Hart or Mike Cameron (util)? He’s a FA

Is Adam Jones the steal of the draft to this point?

@cubbies299: Kazmir

cubbies299 — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:08:27 +0000

@Grey: Sweet, sry to keep bothering you. Which of these would you most want to unload for him? Kazmir/Price (in minors)/Chris B Young

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:05:56 +0000

@cubbies299: Well, if your league is informed, then I'd prefer Drew to Kazmir as I said above.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:50:43 +0000

Now, if this is a keeper league, and I have Price in my minors (and I can keep him there indefinitely). Should I trade Price for Drew instead of Kazmir for Drew?

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:47:09 +0000

@Grey: actually, everyone was quoting that fangraphs article when i tried shopping him. Honestly, I'd rather be rid of the damaged goods. Drew's hurt right now, but he's coming back and will soon prove his worth. Kazmir is just looking worse with every start

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:42:38 +0000

@cubbies299: Yeah, but everyone else still likes him and they're not crazy about Drew.

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:37:26 +0000

@Grey: I thought you were all "stick a fork in Kazmir... he done" in the buy section last week.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 12 May 2009 23:27:58 +0000

@cubbies299: I'd want Drew there, but I think you can get him cheaper.

@cubbies299: Victorino is a dude. I actually had withdrawl trading him just recently. He puts up in every category.

If I can do Kazmir for S Drew, I jump at it right?

@Smell The Glove: Peralta @Ashley: I'd prefer Adrian to Morneau and A-Rod way more than Lowell.

By: Ashley

Ashley — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:58:16 +0000

@Grey: Do you think Greinke will start to fade?

Morneau and Adrian are basically a wash.

So I don’t know, I’m kinda 50/50 on it.

I would add Juan Cruz as my 3rd RP.

Grey, long time reader, first time poster (well, second, first was earlier today). Curious which of my trouser stain trifecta SS group should I drop to make way for Hamilton coming off the DL? Tulowitzki, Peralta or Hardy?

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:45:41 +0000

@Martin: I'd start all three in leagues 12 team or deeper. @Ashley: I don't like it for you. If you want to move Broxton, I'd do it elsewhere. @cubbies299: I'd want Victorino.

By: Ashley

Ashley — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:40:12 +0000

I also have Jayson Werth, not sure why he wasn’t listed.

Would you do Victorino/Parra for S Drew/Danks?

By: Ashley

Ashley — Tue, 12 May 2009 22:38:34 +0000

I’ve been offered Morneau, Lowell, Greinke, his 8th and 15th rd picks for A-Rod, Adrian Gonzalez, Broxton, and my 9th and 13th rd picks. What do you think? I’m in 1st place by 5.5 games.. 34-12-4 through 5 weeks, bad idea to mess with my team now?

C Víctor Martínez (Cle – C,1B)
1B Adrián González (SD – 1B)
2B Ian Kinsler (Tex – 2B)
3B Álex Rodríguez (NYY – 3B)
SS Troy Tulowitzki (Col – SS)
OF Ryan Braun (Mil – OF)
OF Carlos Quentin (CWS – OF)
OF Raúl Ibañez (Phi – OF)
Util Jacoby Ellsbury (Bos – OF)

SP Josh Johnson (Fla – SP)
SP John Danks (CWS – SP)
SP Edwin Jackson (Det – SP)
SP Derek Lowe (Atl – SP)
RP Jonathan Broxton (LAD – RP)
RP Scott Downs (Tor – RP)
RP Andrew Bailey (Oak – RP)
BN Paul Konerko (CWS – 1B)
BN Ricky Nolasco (Fla – SP)
BN Tim Wakefield (Bos – SP)
BN Mark Buehrle (CWS – SP)

Saves is the only thing I’m sucking at.. 0-3-2 so far, so I feel like I’m wasting Broxton and could just add a borderline guy to replace him and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Zimm @ SF, Slowey vs DET, Parra Vs. Fla

I’m thinking of starting zimm and slowey. Do u agree?

@jsp2014: I am nervous about Kershaw…in his last 5 starts…the 3 solid have been at home and the two he got lit up were on the road. He should get the run support vs. Park but at what cost to your own ratios? If I wasn’t lagging in starts I’d sit him…. but as it is, I am going to start him.
