[...] Hoffman – Last week, I advised you trade for him and I’m saying the same now. Maybe I’ll say more of the same next week. Oh, happy [...]

I don’t see Putz reinjuring himself. He didn’t hurt his elbow or shoulder, it was kind of a freak thing in his ribs. Everything I’ve read about such injuries is that there are no lingering effects once healed.. at all.. ever.

I just about Hulk smashed my TV…They almost pushed his start to Friday because the Pirates hit lefties well. I wish they would’ve. FCUK!

How in the hell did Rich Hill sport a 8.45 K/9 ratio last year? I’m watching this guy pitch tonight and he couldn’t get guys out in my old senior beer league with his blazing 88 mph fastball and flat curve. God why does only fantasy baseball bring out the Incredible Hulk in me? HULK SMASH!

I was in the middle of writing something similiar myself...I think Papelbon has to be at the pinnacle of closer value right now. I mean with the overall shittiness of closers and his supposed draft day equal in Putz down for the count it makes sense that in a redraft he'd go in the 2nd or 3rd round. Sherrill won't garnish much just because of the lack of rep he has, but a guy like Papelbon could net you something that would have been unfathomable 2 weeks ago.

@Mike — Soriano and Gagne for Soria is very solid trade. I’d do that.

I’d say Walker will end the season with the most on that team. Probably about 12 to 15.

That team is doomed to lose 100 games. I’ve watched them the last couple nights to see Velez (who doesn’t look good) and they might score less than 4 runs a game 9 out of ten times.

my closers to start the season were Soriano, Sherill, Lyon, Gagne….. i already traded Sherill and Lyon for Capps… now im thinkin about offering Soriano and Gagne for Soria…. that would leave me with Capps and Soria as my closers….think its worth the 2 for 1?

Hey Grey,

Who’s next in line to get saves with SF, is it Walker or Hennessey?

Thanks,

No question is too small, especially one about steroids. Closers need to recover the quickest of any pitcher so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all dopers.

My ignorance will probably be apparent as I say this, but I wonder how many of these guys are going to fail health-wise because they have stopped taking ‘roids. Not to say they DID of course.
