@Vince: I'd hold tight with those options.

Wait, it’s not a save op. Sadness…

Thanks Grey.

Sweet, Brian Wilson just backdoored a 1 out save op. Good times!

Reynolds is playing tonight, right? I have Branyan benched right now for him (and Beltre and Chipper) in an OBP league.

@G: Jurrjens

Which one would you prefer if the other starting pitchers are Beckett, Cain, Shields, and Slowey. Am i lacking in K’s or W’s?

By: Grey

Grey — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:38:13 +0000

@G: They're both fine. Wandy could give you more Ks, Jair has a better chance for Wins.

By: G

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 22:34:42 +0000

Drop Jurrjens for Wandy for long term who is better?

@JR: Not yet. But I'm open to suggestions.

@Grey: Is there a term for that?

By: Grey

@Cubbies299: I'd hold him for now. @Baron Von Vulturewins: He cost me a win in one league and a loss in my Razzball league.

Blowing a one-run lead on Opening Day?

Farnsworthless.

Grey, is Swisher seriously still 14-team mixed material? He’s looking so puntable. They even pinch ran him after he hit a double. I think they really must hate him.

@rich: Well, at least Zumaya doesn't charge you too much for price of admission. As for my unhealthy addiction to Krisby, I think I'll need therapy for how much I keep paying out on this mofo.

@Cubbies299: Hold Gardner and Zumaya. @rich: Smoltz

By: Baron Von Vulturewins

Baron Von Vulturewins — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:35:45 +0000

@Cubbies299: Guess who also homered last year on Opening Day? Alex Gordon! As I recall, he fell somewhat short of 162 HRs.

I am in a shallow (10 teams) Yahoo League, trying to decide if I should add Escobar to the DL, or Smoltz, or both. I currently have Hamels, Billingsley, Shields, Josh Johnson, and Slowey. With such a shallow pool on the WW, not sure its worth it to “stache”" on the DL.

@ Cubbies299 – I like Zumaya, especially if your thin at closer. I gotta believe this time with Rodney will be like the last time with Rodney. Seen this story before. Of course, Zumaya’s story is starting to be shown in reruns as well.

@danimal35: drop someone else. Trade Miggy T if you have to. I imagine you opted for Tejada over some pretty decent talent in the spot you took him. Might as well float some offers and see if you can't get back a little somethin somethin for him.

danimal35 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:22:07 +0000

i’ve got s. drew as my starting ss and miggy t as my backup…with felipe lopez availale do i drop miggy for the position flexibility of lopez?

Cubbies299 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:16:37 +0000

Would you drop Gardner for the Great FraGu or Brad Penny? Also, who you liking best as a DL stash: Noah Lowry, Zumaya, or Hill? (currently have Zumaya on mine, and I haev no idea what Lowry’s timetable is..)

@James Legade: No, I'd start him. @Eric W: Ha!

By: Eric W

Eric W — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:55:34 +0000

@Cubbies299: Yes! my last 3 years of fantasy drafts are finaly vindicated!

By: Cubbies299

Cubbies299 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:52:09 +0000

HR Alex Gordon. And the breakout begins. Small sampling size be damned, I think this is the year he finally hits 162 Hrs.

By: James Legade

James Legade — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:50:04 +0000

I saw this Sabathia movie already last year. The ending is great but it takes a little while to get going.

I have to bench him in his next start right? Until he forces me to put him in? That is what I did with him last year and I have a good staff this year besides him;

Harden
Cain
Lowe
Slowey
Lillly

Sit that fat @ss, correct?

By: Cubbies299

Cubbies299 — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 18:49:50 +0000

@cockyphoenix: Yeah, he did. I remember that, by the end of the night, our whipping boy Mike was finalizing a trade of CC for him. Good thing I waffle-stomped that by offering him Ellsbury and netting GG Fatbathia all for myself.

@Frank Rizzo: All the signs point towards sitting Shields today, but the excitement of a new season has me starting him anyways.

He has been brutal at Fenway: 0W – 3L, 10.2IP, 18H, 12ER, 10.13ERA, 1.97WHIP and a .360BAA.

But he has been good out of the gate in April:

10GS, 4W – 1L, 68IP, 57H, 24ER, 3.18ERA, 1.03WHIP, .220BA

I will hope the April pitching line is closer to today’s performance rather then the Fenway pitching line.
