@Jesse: He's not being called up this year according to the Pirates.

By: Jesse

Any thoughts about whether Pedro Alvarez will be called up this year? If so, does he get any reps?

@David: Yeah, lose Wells for McCutchen.

By: David

OF’s are Wells,Cruz, Kemp (along with Lopez, Alexi Ramirez,and Zobrist having OF eligibility).

Should I drop one of them for Andrew McCutchen? I was leaning toward Wells.

@Grey What are the chances of Heyward and/or Smoak actually getting called up in September?

@Steve: Try Valbuena on.

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 05:23:59 +0000

@Grey: Is the Mark Ellis party over? Time for some Valbuena perhaps? Delwyn Young even?

@Steve: Yeah, that sucks. Vs. a terrible team at home where he's usually better. @Prince: Snider for tomorrow, Diaz for the next two days.

@Grey: Can’t bench CarGo for a week, so which of the following do you like? Snider, Robot Jones, Matt Diaz, Blanks. More typical waiver wire suspects too. I just need someone in my UTIL spot for a few days. Thanks!

Davis will get to play everyday at first base, according to Ron Washington. Blalock to the bench. Obviously, I didn’t get my sixth round production out of Chris Davis – but, if he were to have a huge month of September (ala 2008) I would have to forgive him.

Sure glad I traded for Weaver.

@Martin: Drop Anderson for him. @Shmorgie S. Board: I'd drop Anderson after tomorrow's start if you really need saves. Otherwise, wait until Downs gets a save.

By: Shmorgie S. Board

Shmorgie S. Board — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:49:43 +0000

Sigh. I have one bench player, E-Cab (Everth Cabrera). He’s one helluva SAGNOF! and I can gain a point in Saves. I like to have at least one bench player.

In pitching, I can pass my rival in Ks and make points in wins, so I really can’t drop any SP:

Wandwagon; Scherzer; Lilly; Garza; Wolfman; and Brett Anderson

My closers:

Fuenteth; Pet Sounds Wilson; Aaaaaaaaaaardsma; Nunez; Frasor; and JP Howell III

DL: Downs

By: Martin

Martin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:49:39 +0000

Brett anderson sorry

By: Martin

Martin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:49:20 +0000

chris david got the call up, should i pick him up in a 12 team league. I would either pick him up or spot start brian anderson

@Shmorgie S. Board: There's no one else to drop? If not, I'd wait until he gets a save.

By: Shmorgie S. Board

Shmorgie S. Board — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 03:35:09 +0000

Boys, I’m in a tight spot. I’m in 2nd, 7 points back of the lead. I’m ahead of my nemesis in saves… by one. I own both Downs and Frasor. If I activate Downs, I’d have to drop Frasor. I could keep Downs in my DL slot until he earns a save to be sure, but Saves are precious.

Drop Frasor now or wait until Downs gets a save?

@Pops: I'd lose Blalock for Blake. @Corey: That's fair, seems like a decent haul for Johnson.

By: Corey

Corey — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:56:32 +0000

Another question: I have asked this before,

I give up Josh Johnson and net Wandy and Nolasco. Am I getting enough? Basically I am sitting at 7 good keepers out of nine and obviously need some more.

By: Pops

Pops — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:46:43 +0000

Hey Grey: Casey Blake is on the waiver wire. Should I grab him to supplement my third base blahtoon of Ian Stewart and Hank Blalock or should I reacquaint myself with the Gamel – toe?

By: Corey

Corey — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:36:11 +0000

I actually decided not to do that. I figured I wasn’t getting enough, even with the injury risk.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:33:41 +0000

@Steve: Fox is an every day player, so if you have the luxury of swapping him out, go with him. @Corey: Not if you needed what Choo gives you, but I think you could've done better.

By: Corey

Corey — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:25:43 +0000

I just made the trade of carpenter for choo in a 17 team league.
Am I dumb?

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:18:50 +0000

Carlos Guillen or Jake Fox?

By: BSA

BSA — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:20:07 +0000

@Grey: Yeah I'm just riding it. More of a head scratcher, like Tito's managing this past few days.

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:17:59 +0000

@TYY: He's injured, talked about in the morning post. @BSA: Scioscia's platooning Kendrick. Don't try and understand it. You'll go crazy.

By: BSA

BSA — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:17:00 +0000

OK, WTF – Beckett gets left in when he clearly doesn’t have it but Buch gets pulled after 4.2 IP so there is no chance for even an ugly win.

Blow up my ERA, WHIP, give me nothing for Ks or a W. Thanks Francona – now go back and read what your Bigelow tea leaves say about managing the next inning.

By: BSA

BSA — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:08:52 +0000

Dumb question but why does Kendrick play so sporadically?
It’s not like his numbers haven’t earned him more playing time.

By: BSA

BSA — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 01:06:30 +0000

Man, talk about a funky night.
I took the risk by throwing Zito because I thought the numbers from Halladay and Buchholz would offset any bumps Zito has.
Dang, Halladay – 6 IP, 12 H, 7 ER
Then there is Buch still throwing 4 IP, 4 ER.

I think I’ll go get Arroyo to try and offset Buch and Halladay’s puke on my numbers.
