Too late for me to drop Wells — he’s already killed my ERA.

@Grey: Checked out ESPN. I see it doesn't have P-ASB. It does have the last 30 days. He ranks 16 for outfielders (that includes the recent down week).

@Paul Wilson: I'd go Uribe and Callaspo. *******There's a new post for followups.*******

@Paul Wilson. Other considerations for the i-hate-alexei situation.

Prado — gets to face the same Mets pitchers he lit up this week again, this time in NY
Callapso — 7 home games with a .332 home avg this season, but some tough matchups (Beckett, Lester) this week. And the name karma thing.
Uribe– 7 games, hitting well over the last month. SF still obstinately in the playoff race. Tough matchups against the Cubs, at least on paper.
Alexei — playoff atmosphere all week with AL Central rivals, hitting for average but can’t buy an XBH

@Grey: Not at all the same. For the season Coghlan ranks #126 overall and #54 amongst OF in my points. He found himself the 2nd half. Run yours P-ABS. Then assess his worth to roto.

I hate to be the guy that posts this question, but here goes… next week is our H2H championship game and I’m still bleeding out the ears at 2B due to a stubborn loyalty Alexei that has finally expired. Who should man the helm at 2B? I’ve got room for 2.

Prado (6 hits in last 2 games, super suckitude prior to those games) @NYM, @WAS
Callapso (name is kind of a jinx) BOS, MIN
Uribe (how is he doing this w/o steroids?) @ARI, CHN
Alexei (i hate you alexei) MIN, DET

I know you’ve been pimping Matsui lately but I’m already Astro-centric with Berkeman, Lee and the Wandwagon. Thanks for the help!

I don’t imagine Zambrano reads a whole lot of anything.

@Simply Fred: Of course HRs are tallied in TBs, but total bases change things when you own someone in roto. Four singles is not the same as one homer because homers are their own category. Coghlan may be above, say, Fielder in your points league, but that's not the norm. Coghlan is actually ranked 46th overall on the ESPN Player Rater for 5x5. Ranked 46th for outfielders alone. Behind Ludwick. That's on the season, so for the 2nd half he would be better, but I think the point remains.
