I love having Craig on my team, but he's also 2B-eligible in the league I have him in

likely craig

Guess who streamed Karstens today against HOU? That's right!!

Is David Price too much to give up for Adrian Gonzalez? I'm contemplating this trade.

Yes, unless you have an overabundance of pitchers and a serious need for a 1B.

thoughts on my recent trade in my pay league?

i dealt

Pablo Sandoval (1b/3b)
Kendry Morales (1b/of)

for

Matt Holliday (of)
Yadier Molina (c)

I have Posey at catcher whom i can move to 1B if needed but I already have David Ortiz whom can play there assuming he's actually healthy. I needed OF help badly. Morales has shown no sign of getting his power back this year and I like Sandoval but Holliday should give me more production. Sandoval's 3B eligibility is not really that big a deal as I have Beltre & Zimmerman whom can play there.

I think the Holliday side is clearly the winner. I don't know the size of the league or the categories but in a 10 team mixed league I think Morales is borderline ownable. So basically you got Holloday and Molina for Sandoval. I think Holliday is clearly the best player in this trade and you got a top catcher to boot. Nice trade.

Of course Holliday just got hurt....

This and not even close.

Thoughts on this trade:

I need steals, have an abundance of starting pitching.

I get:
Jason Kipnis
Kyle Lohse

He gets:
Zack Grienke
AJ Burnett
Howie Kendrick

Well if Kendrick was your starting 2nd basemen you made a huge upgrade at the position. Although Kipnis SB numbers have came down to earth (Kendrick actually has more steals this month), so you might not get as much help there as you thought. Burnett has had a good season but it's still AJ Burnett. I just have a hard time trusting him. Grienke has been having a great season, but he has been bad lately and now he's being skipped in the rotation, something is going on with him. All in all I think you made a good deal.

Thoughts on this trade...


Vogelsong has been amazing this year but he's due to fall off eventually right? And my offense has been horrible. Last in average, and lower half in runs and RBIs.

I get:
Bryce Harper
Jay Bruce

He gets:
Ryan Vogelsong

If someone offered you that deal, you need to get the hell out of here and confirm it before the other player's bath salts wear off. If you're offering that deal, it's a joke and don't expect the other guy to give it any thought.

Yeah, that was offered to me. I already accepted it. don't worry. And it's not a keeper league so it's not as huge of a haul as it could have been.
And I just wanted to make sure that others thought it was a great deal for me and that I wasn't missing something important.

Nope. Bruce is a much more important asset than Vogelsong, and Harper is just an added bonus. All you need to do to replace Vogelsong is find some other starter in a great pitcher's environment, like Tommy Milone

I just got offered this trade:

I give up:
Weaver
Sabathia

He gives up:
Nathan
Jim Johnson
Huston Street

if you need saves more than wins and whip and perfect games, you should totally take it

I am first in Ks and Ws, 7th in saves, and 9th in ERA and WHIP

i was being facetious, hence the referencing of perfect games. i dont think 3 relievers are worth two top starters, unless you are close to your innings limit or something.

So glad for two things today:
I benched Shin Shoo Choo so he could hit another homer
I benched JJ, so he could pitch his first great game in like a month

gaddamnit

My catcher situation has been a mess this year. I had Lucroy who was off to an unbelievable start. He got hurt and I have been riding the streaks of guys like AJ Ellis & Willin Rosario since. I currently have Salvador Perez who has been great, but Luc is do off the DL later this week. I have room for only 1 catcher. What do you think guys Perez or Lucroy?

So glad I made that Vogelsong trade now. A-Rod is out with a broken wrist. Which means EE moves from 1st to 3rd, Trumbo moves in from the OF to 1st and Bruce takes Trumbo's spot in the OF.

I'd keep Lucroy on the DL unless you need the spot. Just to see how he does. Might as well ride the hot streak of Perez. And start looking into moving either Perez or Lucroy.

I wish I could wait. It's a weekly h2h league on ESPN and once he comes off the DL, if I don't activate him I can't make any roster moves. I'd get steam rolled in the pitching categories because almost everyone streams. I'm leaning toward Perez. I'm just not sure how legit Lucroy is. He was preforming at a level he never displayed before in the minors or majors. Plus he's been out for two months. I hate decisions like this cause they always seem to backfire on me.

Couldn't you drop a pitcher or a position player and have Lucroy sit on the bench for a week or so? How is the rest of the league doing catching wise? Would Lucroy be an upgrade for a team? If he isn't, I would drop him and hope for the best in Perez. I think Perez is a safer bet rest of season than Lucroy.

The guy must have been desperate for pitching when he made that deal. I do love Vogelsong though. Metrics be damned! He is a QS machine. Somebody offered me Alex Gordon for him today. I couldn't hit reject fast enough.

Andre Johnson hurt again. I won't touch him in any draft this year unless it's late.

Well I dropped Luc after I couldn't trade him. Hopefully I don't get burned.

Chris Perez's blowup today: -20.5 points
Jeremy Hellickson's blowup yesterday: -9 points
Score of my matchup: Lost 216-191

Chris Perez and Jeremy Hellickson can die in a pudding fire.

All of these players are now on the DL for me:

Jason Hammel
CC Sabathia
Matt Garza
Mike Napoli
Michael Cuddyer
Jose Bautista

You must have a big DL in your league. If you don't I hope your not wasting roster spots on guys like Hammel & Garza.

No Napoli and Sabathia just went on so I dropped some guys. There's just not a lot left in FA for P or else I'd drop Garza

ooh moved ahead of figlet, now its just me and the ridiculous ewing 18 points ahead...

thats right, im SECOND in the roto league

was asked for my opinion on someone's fantasy football draft....told him to take advantage of autodraft next season

Had my first live draft last night. Drew the first pick. .5 ppr, yardage bonuses, 6 pts per TD, even for QBs. 1 QB/2 RB/2 WR/def/k/mandatory TE

QB -- Rodgers, Freeman
RB -- Charles, Martin (TB), Gerhart, Vereen (NE)
WR -- Welker, Colston, Crabtree, Heyward-Bey
TE -- Davis, Chandler (BUF)
K -- Prater, Kaeding
DEF -- SF

Martin has basically supplanted Blount in TB; Gerhart was a flyer in case Purple Jesus can't come back, and I have the best QB and best D. Suck my peeper. I DO NOT ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL
