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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hell yeah, I’m with pork. Thought TWIR was it. I’m giddy as a pedo priest at Chuck E Cheeze. ( ok that’s just sick )

As Snoop said Sam Cooke said, Change gonna come, nephew. It probably won’t be ready until late my time (PST), so some or most of you won’t see it until tomorrow morning. It’ll be included in tonight’s roundup.

@Grey: Hell yeah. I was thinking the week in review was the big change and I didn’t want to ask in case it was.

I’m thinking I need to live like the rebel IowaCubs is and commit to Georgie. Bengie apparently has the better trade value right now and Posada is good enough for me if he stays healthy. I know, thats a big if. What the heck else am I supposed to do. Stupid stupids.

Are any of youse excited about the announcement that is coming tonight?

I didn’t intend to draft so pitching heavy but I couldn’t believe the speed the hitters were going, like Ryan Braun in the Top 8. I didn’t draft the pitchers until pretty late value wise and picked up Volquez off waivers. Hamels, Hernandez, Haren, Hudson and Volquez is a solid top 5.

The imbalance came when ALL of my hitters sucked. A-Rod hurt. V-Mart at #20 (too early) is brutal. Pronk- pool killer. Ibanez; 0-for-May.

My pitching numbers, all 11′s (except saves). 43 wins (+4 over 2nd), 546 K’s (+80), 3.21 ERA (-.54) and 1.25 WHIP (+.02). 31 HR’s behind the leader tho…

But when I pull this off I’ll have a paper-tiger at the very least, starting V-Mart, Fielder, BJ Upton (2b eligible), Rollins and A-Rod, with Jacoby, Quentin, Dunn, Jay Bruce and Dye. Helton and O-Dog at CI/MI and Ibanez and Polanco on the bench.

Apparently you’re enrolled in the Distler School of Management. Doesn’t work for roto leagues.

You better take what you can get fast and furiously, don’t ya think? Pull the trigger and let the bidding war begin if you’re so far above everybody in pitching stats.

Example

If you have say, 49 wins and the next closest has 34, offer guys who have wins for one hitting stat you’re not far behind the next 2 or 3 places in. If you’re borderline on ERA, whip, etc., keep your best guys. Do the same with saves if you’re way up.

I’m curious to see if this works out for you. What are your best pitching numbers? 11 across the board is incredible.

Obviously this only works in a very active league, hope you have opponents willing to deal.

The season is all bassackwards. Many of the “good” (Harang, Verlander, Carmona, Bedard…) pitchers are pitching like all of the above should be pitching and vice-versa. It’s like they are were at a party and some strange lightning storm caused them to switch abilities. I mean even Ervin Santana is pitching like he’s Johan.

Okay, I’m done, Fantasy baseball is a marathon, Fantasy baseball is a marathon, Fantasy baseball is a marathon,… okay got it.

I’m in a 10 team league also and you’re right. Figured you’d bring that up.

Guys in my league carry 2 catchers so I can’t have one, it’s the only spot I’m weak. Hell I drafted two, Towles and Salty, look where that got me.

Playing Yadi cause he never strikes out and I’m sitting at 9 in Ks, two more than leader. Since picking up Yadi I’ve gone from 7 to 9 in Ks.

Do you think I should stick or pick up Olivo (37 k) or Varitek (45 k)? Yadi has 9.

@IowaCubs: Webster!

I’m keeping him at my own peril, but I find the risk of Posada much more sexy than the return for him in a trade.

@peter: And CD was a my bench all weekend. Sweet!

@BKK: Those guys are not better options than Harang.

BTW, the Fielder/Renteria for A-Gonz/Theriot trade went through. Too bad Renteria couldn’t have waited for his GS until he was on my roster!

@Zebo: I feel your pain. I lose the win and a potential save opportunity.

Today, out of the blue, this came across my desk:

Dan Haren, Felix Hernandez and Willy Tavares for
Prince Fielder, Adam Dunn and Chad Gaudin

Seems to be more than I could ask for at this point right?

I already ditched Verlander and his 2-9 record and his 555 ERA.

Jered Weaver, Jon Garland, Jair Jurrjens are all FA. Are any of these guys a better option – they at least play for winning teams.

I am in search of wins. It is a points league so ERA and WHIP don’t really matter. Just K’s and Wins and or at least the absence of a loss.

At this rate I could have the entire LAA pitching staff, I also have Lackey, E Santana and K-Rod.
