Shoulda spent less time buying brooms and more time teaching your boys how to hit Verlander.Quote:

TY for the advice, but I'll keep Shields, I think it's more legit than Dunn's chance of resurging.
Yeah in a 8 team league it's probably okay to drop Dunn but I would drop Carpenter. I'm a big fan of streaming especially in an 8 team league. Pitching is devalued greatly in an 8 teamer. In my 8 team for example theirs always good pitching available. Guys like Norris, Gee, Burnett, Bedard, Wandy, Leake, etc are always floating around on the waiver wire. They are all good spot starters and have probably all been better than Carpenter this year. In this year of great pitching offense is at a premium thats why I would keep Dunn. What's up with Rasmus, I got him on my team too. He's been in a terrible slump. I was thinking about dropping him as I'm loaded at OF and I need an IF. It's between him and Tabata and Tabata has been better in almost every category.Quote:

My offense has sucked all season, luckily its matchup so i can mix and match a bit. I like Rasmus, I think he'll even out fine. I'd keep him over Tabata.
that may be, but in 300 big-league games and 909 plate appearances. He boasts a career .296 batting average, a .354 on-base percentage and .837 OPS.Quote:

His BABIP in those 300 career games is .349, and it's .355 this year, so you can tell 200tang to take those "super lucky" comments and shove 'em up his ass.Quote:

Is this not recorded as a stolen base?
Stolen base in my bookQuote:

Mike Morse is no Ichiro.Quote:

He looks so much like Ozzie out there, it's incredible.
So does anyone think that Albert's injury could have lingering effects or will last until August?
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/A...eakdown-062011
And fast guys tend to get away with higher babip anyway. Castro should be able to get away with a higher number like Ichiro for example.Quote:

I think he will be fine.Quote:

those are just a few i can come up with. all had extensive recovery periods, struggled initially after their return, and some..heck arguably all never returned to their prior form.
i just don't know how one can expect Pujols to come back and be his prior self in August. That seems very optimistic.
Hudson did it tooQuote:

If anyone could do it, it would be him.Quote:

Also wierd sequence in the 8th when Sam Fuld was announced as the relief pitcher, came on and threw some warm up pitches then Maddon slowly walked to the mound and pulled him. This must of been to buy time for another pitcher to get warmed up.Quote:

Yeah Maddon and the umps screwed up:Quote:

By rule, Fuld should have faced at least one Milwaukee batter. Instead, Maddon took out Fuld and brought in reliever Cesar Ramos. The Rays won 8-4.
The umpires said they thought Fuld was sore.
"We got away with violating a rule," Maddon said Tuesday. "There were no shenanigans, no misinformation. I just think there was a miscommunication."
Maddon said Major League Baseball executive Joe Torre called him. Maddon apologized to the umpires. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he had no dispute.
