Vazquez gave up one earned in 13 IP vs. Mets last year. Won’t hurt to get a steady helping of them.

@Steve: Forgot about the conversion. That's not too bad. I can probably get out of a good sushi meal for about $30. So it's close.

@Grey: No - first time, though I have been to its previous incarnation. T'was very good. $49 set menu equates to $36 your money. Is that a lot? Doesn't help that the US dollar is going south...

@GopherDay: Nice grab. @Steve: That looks wonderful. Have you been before? Looks on the pricey side. @Elijah: Totally...

@Grey: Yeah I was just saying to one of my fantasy buddies he could easily be their #2 starter.

@Grey: In other, more important news, look where I’m going for lunch on Wednesday:

@Grey: Picked him up the last day of the season in my dynasty league when he was dropped. I had the ultimate Yankee Duo of Vazquez and Burnett.

@Elijah: Gotcha... @Steve: Definitely like him again for next year. Have post coming tomorrow on his signing.

@Grey: I know you're still digesting the Thanksgiving turkey, but any early thoughts on JV for next year? Getting out of the AL East and being able to do his thing in relative anonymity has to help, no? Certainly didn't hurt him in '09...

@Grey: Yeah that's what I thought too per Duke, especially only giving up a meh-level prospect in return. In fantasy I usually follow your lead going after K-oriented guys tho I did take a chance on Tim Hudson last year that worked out great.

@GopherDay: Nice.... @big o: Sounds promising for the Pirates and Grady.

By: big o

big o — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 05:23:43 +0000

ok , then .
how about this ? ==> you can pencil in grady sizemore for 31 home runs .

(because they finish ahead of the cubbies , also)

i’ve got the pirates finishing ahead of the astros in the nl central division .

@Grey: Thanks Grey. I took the deal.

@GopherDay: I'd take A-Gon and Kershaw. @Elijah: Sorry, get caught up only seeing from fantasy perspective. It's fine from a real baseball perspective. Worst case scenario, he's a fifth starter who eats innings, best case is he's a borderline fourth starter.

By: Elijah

Elijah — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 20:58:08 +0000

@Grey: Wasn't really referring to fantasy, that's not my type of draftee anyays, I draft strikeout pitchers mainly, I meant more in a general baseball sense, if that's a topic around here.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 20:47:16 +0000

@Grey: I offered him Pujols and Harper for A-Gonz and Felix. He countered with Pujols and Harper for A-Gonz and Kershaw. Yes, no, need a little more?

Other players of interest from his team:
Soo-Choo
Adam Jones
Logan Morrison
Billy Butler
Chapman
Jurrjens
Morrow
Nathan
Wandy
Venters

@GopherDay: I wouldn't trade Pujols for those guys.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 18:34:26 +0000

@Grey: Okay, with the trade situation above, would you trade Pujols for A-Gonz and Montero? I could probably flip Montero or Posey for a SS or 3B upgrade.

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 04:26:22 +0000

@GopherDay: Worst case scenario, you take a flier on Brandon Allen.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 03:41:14 +0000

@Grey: Alright I signed up for the NL West. The more I think about it, the more I like it. Though the only good 1B in the NL West is A-Gonz, and he could be headed out...The other guy who chose the NL West is a huge Giants fan.

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 01:28:10 +0000

@GopherDay: Rockies, Dodgers and D-Backs have good hitters. Giants, Dodgers, D-Backs, Padres and Rockies have good pitchers. I say go there. Just make sure you go hitters heavy cause there's lots of pitchers there.

By: GopherDay

GopherDay — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 00:44:40 +0000

@Grey: Something like that...There are two teams per division, and we'll take turns picking a player from each team. So if I chose the NL West for instance and got first pick, I'd take Tulowitski, the other guy would choose two guys, say CarGo and Kemp, then I'd pick say Adrian Gonzalez or something like that. But if a player get's traded mid-season to a different division then you lose all rights to the player. So A-Gonz loses value since he might get traded.

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 27 Nov 2010 00:22:22 +0000

@GopherDay: So you can take the Rockies hitters and the Padres pitchers? Do that, if you can. @Elijah: He's pretty bleh. His K-rate is under 5 on his career and his ERA is north of 4.50. Could surprise, I suppose, but he's not going to be worth drafting out of the gate in fantasy.

the negotiations with jeter must be killing the yankees’ chances
of signing cliff lee .

Fangraphs seems to agree with me.
