Oh no. After I got Miggy T, I cast a line out with Theriot and I got back Brian Wilson. Now I have too many closers to play (Putz, Jenks, Capps, Nathan, Soriano). What should I do, try to upgrade my catcher from Dioner Navarro? Get a better 1B than Garret Atkins for fear of a trade? Or just sit and wait for Rafael to get hurt and rack up saves on the bench while I laugh at the lowly managers who don’t have saves to waste?

My team is solid all around, with the weakest links so far this year probably being Navarro, Votto, Ríos, Putz, Kershaw, and Soriano. I made up an offer of Atkins and Putz for Fielder and Harang, but I’m not sure if I like it yet (we count CG, K/BB, L). Thoughts on that trade?

Re: Barmes…from what I hear, he’ll play SS until Tulo comes back, and then he’ll move over to 2nd.

Aubrey Huff or Edwin Encarnacion?

Edwin’s kind off hot… Aubrey’s not sexy but he hits well in June.

Enh, I generally just play who’s hot. Damon’s hitting something like .478/1.172 in the past week, so I’ll ride him until he starts nose diving and plug in a bench guy that’s picking it up.

I’d really like to get another 2 or 3 type pitcher, so I might go that way.

And I know about Hill, but he was a WW pick-up for me last year and I <3ed him so much I drafted him this year. I hate to give up.

Grey is right. Drop either Hill or Renteria. When Barmes comes off the DL you’ll be back to where you started back-up wise. You aren’t afraid he is going to lose his job or else you wouldn’t have DLd him, right? You can rough it a few weeks if you have to with either one SS or one 2b. I don’t think its the concussion thats going to keep Hill from being any good the rest of the season. This isn’t the NFL and he’s not Trent Green. I think its the lack of talent that will do him in. Hill will probably still be in the kiddie pool if you want him back after a while. He’s floating around with his water wings on in one of mine right now. Renteria on the other hand will get sucked up by someone like BVV who goes off of what you did for me yesteryear *cough O. Cabrera cough*.

Exactly where do you plan on sticking Murphy? If I were you I’d have Damon riding pine and big Murph Dog in his spot.

Oh, did I mention Smoltz might be RETIRING? That beats all. “What, you lost a guy for the whole season? Well, my 6th round pick RETIRED.”

@Freak: scratch that, I like having a backup at most positions. But backup catchers are dumb and waste space.

Oh yeah — Cain blows up! Cabrera… blows up! Acosta… blows up real good!

Not a good night for the Baron’s hurlers. The only one hurling successfully was the Baron.

Joke of the night: Hey Manny Acosta! Don’t let the door hit you on the ass as I drop you! That would be the only thing not hitting you tonight!

The door, I mean. Not hitting him. Because he allowed several homers.

Yeah, I grabbed Parra. Yeah, I’m going to drop D-Cab for Litsch. Yeah, the back-end of my rotation right now looks like the back end of a horse with a horrible looking back end.

This is turning out to be a long season.
