Doghouse: Oct 22, 2004; I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.

El Gallinero Gros: Mar 17, 2010

Is Amir Garrett for real? I'm kind of nervous about depending on Marco Estrada unless he gets dealt, and I don't have to much to choose from: it's either Garrett, Jeremy Hellickson, Chase Anderson or Ty Chatwood.

If Verlander didn't look like poo poo thus far I'd just pull the trigger, but, well.....

Free Yahoo league, here's my roster

C: J.Castro, G.Sanchez, C.Rupp (catcher is VERY thin on the WW in my league)
1B: K.Morales
2B: C.Hernandez, J.Segura, J.Peraza, J.Ramirez
3B: J.Turner, E.Nunez, J.Ramirez
SS: C.Seager, E.Nunez, J.Seguya, J.Peraza, D.Gregorius
OF: K.Morales, J.Peraza, M.Ozuna, B.Harper, J.Ramirez

SP: J.Verlander, J.Cueto, T.Roark, D.Bundy, K.Graveman, K.Hendricks, M.Estrada
RP: M.Melancon, B.Kintzler

Not at all but he's on the DL so trading or waiving him is something I can't really do ATM. I'd like to get SOMETHING for him. And to do that I have to wait until he's available, at which point I'd like to get either another SP, 1B or another C

Lots of good hitters are slumping like crazy right now. Can't expect them to all suck going forward, or maybe Thames and Andrus are the only good hitters left in baseball

I was kind of shocked to see Ervin Santana was still available in my league this morning...that's wrong, right? I'm also in with Haniger and Caesar Hernandez....what do you guys think their long term prospects are? I feel like .250/.350/.450 is possible for Haniger and .300/.380/.400 is possible for Hernandez.

I'm surprised he's still available at this point, but his next two starts could very much provide a quick market correction his ERA.

EDIT: Eduardo Rodriguez is going on paternity leave this week as well. Thanks to Twitter for saving me from a v dumb waiver move there.

Picked him up today. Beginning to think my league is full of people who don't care and people who don't know what they're doin'. Speaking of pickups, are there any catchers you guys can recommend I watch out for as callups?

I drafted him because the top 8 SS were kept (in a league with a ton of turnover) and so the next bunch went for like double what they should. I basically gotta wait on him a while more since there is NOTHING on the ww.

coronaball: Feb 6, 2005; You're finished, pork-o-nazi!

Swanson in a keeper is one thing, but he shouldn't have been drafted in normal redraft leagues.

In my keeper I just keep him perma-benched since I also have Diaz.

Inspector_666: Oct 7, 2003; _{benny with the good hair}

So I just got this trade request thrown my way in a 12-tm H2H 7x7:

My Villar/Posey/Valencia

for his

McCann/Crawford/Schwarber/Calhoun/Bauer

I've got Realmuto at C as well, so that wouldn't be as bad of a downgrade at that spot as it might appear. I'm probably pulling the ripcord early on Villar, but I would have Crawford and Baez to fill in there...and Schwarber...

# ? Apr 18, 2017 14:35

Moneyball: Jul 11, 2005; It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.

I only had Swanson because SS dried up real quick in the draft and my only other SS was Peraza before the Phillips trade. I've been wanting to drop him for a while now, but he's still on a roster in every other league I'm in so I was wondering if there's something people know that I don't.

I guess :byewhore:

I keep telling him I have no interest in Calhoun whatsoever but he keeps putting him in every proposal. This dude is relentless, but this was the first trade he offered that actually kind of made me stop and think about it.

I drafted K. Seager, J.Turner and Moustakas because they were all good value where i drafted them.

Just before the season started i felt i had to let one go and get another steals guy.
Guess which player i dropped. Guess which 2 players have 0 HR and the dropped guy has 5!
