@Grey: I cut Burris yesterday, it was either him or the O Dog.I just don’t see Burris getting on base enough to do his magic

@vinko: Then how do we handle anyone that strikes out against Saunders?

Shouldn’t Gabe Kapler get some sort of bonus in the Razzball league for striking out against Nick Swisher’s 75mph heater??

@Dingo: Agree with P0rk. It's good to have second opinions anyway.

@Dingo: You get an A for doing the research. Other than Grey, BVV, and a few others most of the answers are coming straight outta the ass. Not to say they are wrong, they are just off the top of the head responses without the actual homework. Way to step up your game.

@Dingo: Lesson for next time: don't take so long to look up projections, and maybe your comment might be a bit more timely.

@Grey: I’m not familiar with the dynamics of 10-team leagues, but I’m not so sure I’d say that Eric’s team is that low on steals. Here’s how I’m figuring:

Furcal, Andrus, Kemp: 25-30 steals each
Soriano, Wright, Phillips, Krispie: 15-20 steals each
Pence, Lee, Napoli: 5-10 steals each

Adds up to 150-200 total. Wouldn’t that be good for above average, at least? I don’t think these projections are too optimistic.

Thanks Grey.

I thought the batters were loaded just looking at it. I just needed some comfirmation that I wasn’t crazy because other people in my league are saying that my team sucks. They aren’t trying to get my to unload guys because I’d never do that. They’re just talking trash. What are friends for right? Thanks for the advice though. I don’t plan on making a trade for Harden. I plan on using him until he gets hurt. By the time he’s hurt, hopefully I’ll have found a breakout pitcher off the waiver wire to replace him.

@Matt: Grab Burriss.
