@knighttown: Ross, if HRs don't matter to you, but I'd bail on him at the first sign of a struggle or if the Marlins call up Maybin.

@Grey:
@ Baron

It’s a tough league. I’ve already got Dickerson and Cruz and Lind, as a Jay is long gone…Canada you see…even Joe Inglett was on a team for awhile. That crap I showed is all there is left. No Mike Cameron or any of the other guys that often slip through. For now, I dropped Tatis and grabbed Konerko but would you guys grab Gerut or Ross or Church instead. HR’s don’t matter to me.

@Nick: I'd start Ervin and sit Guthrie. As far as IP goes, I'd just watch every single start you make and be prepared to sit some guys if the matchup isn't right.

Guthrie & E. Santana going tomorrow. Who do you start ? I’m at +16.2IP today but nobody is pitching today.

Also, when would you start to worry about IP and not running out till the last day of the season…

@Grey & Dumbmutt: Thanks. Put in my claim for Cain.

I was going to ask that same question. Just dropped Verlander. He has some bad matchups and at least one with the Whitesox. I couldn’t handle the ride anymore. I would think Cain but I’m usually the one asking questions!

@Dumbmutt: I'd stick with Lester. @Shogun: Go with Cain then Garza versus the Blue Jays for his start after his next.

I might be asking this question two months too late, but can I safely cut bait with Verlander and go with someone who might actually give me consistent numbers the rest of the season? I’ve been holding Verlander, thinking that he would snap out of his funk (he did have that nice run in July), but I can’t see him turning things around at this point.

Garza is a free agent, and Cain is on waivers. Would you swap out Verlander for either of them?

Who would you want for Sept. H2H Lester or Kuroda Overall numbers

Kuroda has been pitching good and has ARI @SD @PIT SF SD

Lester BAL @TB TOR @TOR CLE he has good numbers against BAL & TB, TOR had last game horrid & CLE is so-so..

I have Lester but I am thinking of picking up Kuroda instead.
