My guess: Grey reveals his true identity as curmudgeonly but lovable bench coach Don Zimmer.

Any guesses from the Shmohawk Gallery? (Myself included of course)

I say that Grey has squandered, uh I mean invested his considerable Razzball wealth into a churro slash Octoberfest beer mug marshmallow peep store.

.300 AVG/15-20HR/40SB is nice to have on your team no matter how u slice it. Just dont overpay.

@SaltyBiscuits: I'd start him, gotta let your boys swim.. ya know. I can see why you'd be a little hesitant, but an ace like Peavy I'd send out there everytime I could. Even at 85% you gotta figure hes better than most SP, especially since hes at home I'd give him a go.

@ wakeNbake

I like Rios, but I hate to burst your bubble about when Rios puts up his power numbers.

He has been a fairly consistent first half hitter since he started playing full time.

2007: Pre All-Star 17 HRs, Post All-Star 7 HRs, April & May were best overall batting months
2006: Pre All-Star 15 HRs, Post All-Star 2 HRs, April & May were best overall batting months

That is why he isn’t a buy low guy for me.

So,

Should I start Peavy this week at home vs Dodgers? (Kuroda)

Debating between him and his teammate Randy “Hungry Like the” Wolf. Kinda thinking I should observe Peavy in his first start off he DL before activating him.

@Steve: I too own Rios and I must say I bought into the whole 27yr old hitter theory of increased production. Right now I am a little worried, not too much though. As of now his AVG. is low but I have faith he will hit .300, his HR's are not there yet but what hes lacking in HR's he is making up for with SB's. He usually turns it up right around this time of year, so well see and pray.

Calling all Rios owners –

Interesting article over at Rotonomics on the relative merits of Vlad and Rios. Not all that positive about Rios’ outlook this year.
Have a read (be sure to come back to the Razz of course) – would be interested to know what y’all think.

@pork burn

Thanks, just looking for clarification. Actually kinda high on Yadi right now. Think he’ll bat .300 believe it or not.

Offense good right now, 10 Avg 10 OBP 9 Ks 9 R 7 HR 7 RBI 8 SB.
