@Rob: I like the three guys you're giving up, but I'd still do this deal. Drew and Ellsbury are the best two players in the deal.

I was offered Stephen Drew, Jacob Ellsbury and Chase Headly for Snider, Elijah Dukes and E. Encaracion in a keeper league. Headly wouldn’t be a keeper, but Drew and Ellsbury seem like the best players in the immediate future. Should I take this deal?

@Grey: There are a lot of monkeys with TV deals in New Zealand! Boom-tish!
Nah – they just had a minute to fill in the late news.
I used to work in tv (sports) news and you were always looking for quirky stuff or spectacular footage to fill gaps when needed.
I always used to get baseball in there when I could.

@Grey: Well, I don't have any pressing fantasy baseball issues right now, which leaves me plenty of time to be a smart-ass. You'll note that I let the baseball conversation flow before jumping in with something completely irrelevant. On that note, the monkey serving beer in the Japanese bar was on TV here last night.

@Doug Ault: I take it you're not a fan of the J.P. @Steve: Yes, that's exactly what I meant! I hate you. (Fill-in 'blinking' smiley face here.)

@Grey: A tacit negotiation? Is that where you literally try to make the other guy blink?

@Grey:Don’t get me started on JP,Bradley would be a typical JP signing.

Davis,Snider,Bruce is the order I expect by years end,strikeouts being Bruce’s weakness

@Jimmy ray: FYI, that's no dig on Escobar, who I really like.

@Jimmy ray: I'd keep the closers that were worth it. If I had 3 closers that were all quality and I didn't have any other worthwhile guys, then I'd keep three. Though I'd try to only keep two at the most. In a ten team league, three closers kept seems excessive, but everyone's team is different. With Stewart at 2nd, I'd go with Slowey.
