@Grey: I don’t see him starting in my lineup, and he’s probably not enticing trade bait,but I’m hesitant to cut him….. he reminds me of a girlfriend I once had

@Doug Ault: Unless there's a much better option or there's an injury, I'm not a big fan of basing so much on spring training, especially with pitchers. People are working on things. So, I guess the question is, are there other better options?

@Grey: Are you still high on Maine?

He’s really getting ” chowed” on,I’m looking for a reason not to cut him loose in my 10 team league

Hi Grey / everyone

Great site – been reading via RSS (wonderful invention) after finding you about a month ago).

Quick question: I’m in 12 team, 10 player keeper H2H league with 5 OF, 2IF + usual and 6 bench spots along with 9P. We’re into round 22/23 of draft with my picks at turn shortly.

I’ve filled all my hitting spots, but pitching I probably could do with a couple of guys as my staff is full of injury / upside risks! (Haren, Harden, Wainwright, Bedard, Johnson + Rivera, Hanrahan).

Guys still available: Motte (for a possible closer), then Cook, Guthrie, Floyd, Kawakami, Volstad, Heilman.

Or should I go down the prospect route and pick up someone like Tommy Hanson and Colby Rasmus?

Other hitters available include Kubel, Yunel Escobar (although I have Hanley) but my IF spots are filled by Kouz and Mora…

Man, so many directions, which to take?!!

@PV: After seeing your staff, I like the deal for you. Unless this Bills deal can be pulled off, then I'd hold off on Parra. @Cheez Whit: He does have good K potential, but his WHIP could be a nightmare, which usually leads to a bad ERA and no Wins. He's in a very tough division and he's risky at best.

How about David Purcey as a sleeper SP. Good K potential.

@Grey: Well I have Papelbon, Cordero, Fuentes, Gonzales and Street. I'm "weak" with SP: 1. Santana 2. Cain 3. Young 4. Weaver 5. Litsch I'm working on a deal right now to get Billingsly which would help. Yes it is a very deep keeper league. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

@PV: Sounds like this is a pretty deep league and this trade sounds like a needs trade. Do you need a 4th to 5th starter? Are you okay with saves? I probably wouldn't do the trade, but I don't know your situation fully.

I had a guy offer to give me Parra for Gonzalez (RP). What do you guys think of this trade?
