Isringhausen or Melancon? Or are they pretty much the same thing…

16-team, H2H-Points League (HR=4, etc., K=-1, BB=1, SB=3…)

Drop either A. Soriano or Garrett Jones for Godzilla?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see both Choo and Morneau have very good ROS numbers. On teams where I need to gamble at this point, I’m trying to trade for them fairly aggressively.

If you had Hill at MI and need steals and RBI rather than homers, would you trade Ry Zimm+Oswalt for Utley? Or just pick up an Erc Young Jr/altuve type player?

Thank you, Grey, and trade deadline for my league is this weekend so the questions will stop!

Grey:

In my 6×6 H2H league, I have Beltran in RF, Ludwick on the bench with RF elig, and just got Choo back off DL. I have Freddie Freeman and Lawrie for my IF position.

Q: I can trade Lawrie and Choo for Youk. Should I do it, or is that too much? THANKS!!

Real exciting day for those people owning both Choo and Morneau! Ah, who am I kidding, those teams were abandoned long ago.

Just like I should’ve done with my h2h where I went Choo/Heyward/Dunn 2/3/4, and my aces were Liriano and Anderson. Seriously, what the hell am I thinking still managing this team? Every week is more salt in the never-healing wounds of embarrassment. FBB emo poetry!

@TheRealTaz: In what league's would Aramis have been on the FA list? 8-teamers?

Hey Grey for next week how do you rank: Marcum (at Mets), Ubaldo (at CHW and at DET), Stauffer (FLA), Hanson (SF and AZ), Bedard (TB and at KC), Wandy (SF) and E Santana (TEX)? Thx!

@Grey I came up with some more options to replace Infante: Lillibridge, Betemit, Brandon Wood or Andino. Pretty exciting eh?

Thanks Grey. Done. I miss high-pitch Cole already…

@TheNewGuy: I'd hold. @TheRealTaz: In 233 ABs, he has 31 runs, 6 homers and 27 RBIs. He'd need 750 at-bats for his numbers to prorate to decent numbers.

Like JLS said above, Zimmerman has been solid since coming back from injury. I really dislike calling injured players “busts.” You can’t really predict that (it’s arguable with Zimmerman), and it’s not like he’s played badly. Yes, it turns out pretty bad, but imagine the owners that picked up Aramis when Zim went down. Not too bad, right? He’s not someone who will see a huge drop in value next year, unlike other players that have been healthy and put up weak stats.

Been offered Latos ($19) and Phillips ($11) for Ackley ($0) in my keeper league (have K-Jo as backup till Phillips’ returns). Am not worried about the costs as im just trying to win this year, enough to warrant losing a keeper in Ackley? Latos would replace Ogando/Stauffers starts.

@Phil: Let him pass. @Howard: Blech, but I don't know your other options. @DanThePoorMetFan: I'd let him go. @Brad: I don't trust Rios for a comeback.

By: Brad

Brad — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:47:30 +0000

Grey, everyone
I have a deep team in a keeper league and I’m thinking about trading some of my overachievers for guys like Rios. Who makes a Granderson-like comeback next year?

By: DanThePoorMetFan

@DanThePoorMetFan: I should add that I am refering to Vizcaino

Grey, I am in the same position as Phil. I am in a 20 team dynasty with a 30 player roster and a 5 player protected list. Prospects are always a hot commodity in my league since we cant own a player until Yahoo add them to thier database.

I am in 7th on WW priority He he worth grabbing or wait for a higher ranked prospect to get a call

By: Howard

Howard — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:33:46 +0000

@Grey What do you think of Robert Andino as kind of a lukewarm shmotato? Trying to replace Infante in a 20 team h2h league. thanks!

By: Phil

Phil — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:31:12 +0000

@grey: its a really competitive keeper league… If I use my WW priority now, i wont get anything but a marginal prospect later to claim, as my priority drops back down to last… I could let vizcaino pass and hold it for a september call-up… So i guess the question is: Vizcaino or a potetial September callup…
And i ask in terms of best long term value… My team is pretty balanced between hitting and pitching..

@Scott: I wouldn't count on him getting playing time. @Howard: Smith

@Grey ROS rank ‘em: Matsui, Kubel, Theth Thmith? Thanks!

Is Nunez going to see starts when A Rod comes back or is Eric Chavez going to continue to get starts at DH? Maybe A Rod DH’s for a while?

Thanks.

@Eng: Altuve...I wouldn't drop him for one of them.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:09:28 +0000

@Art Vandelay: Stauffer's better. @Wilsonian: Bourjos @royce!: Yup, yup, yup and Hudson's doing okay. @Feeding the Abscess: Ha! @KayCee: Take it. @royce!: Surprising... @john butte: Lawrie then...Morse... @Van Hagaar: Lawrie

By: Eng

Eng — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 16:08:39 +0000

Also, is Bourgeois droppable for one of the above? Thanks, and love the title of this piece!

By: Eng

Altuve or Giavotella ROS?

By: Van Hagaar

Van Hagaar — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 15:59:18 +0000

Grey almighty,
Hosmer or Lawrie for CI position in a H2H points league?

@royce!: Triple post score! F-Her was 7th last year in ERA-FIP differential. Third round pick wasted *puke*.

@Feeding the Abscess: My point exactly! He disproves my previous point! At least I was right somewhere...
