Jacob34 Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Well atleast you're not a Rockies fan like me, they're making it really hard to watch a game without throwing something
VolFan Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Actually I am! We lived there for five years; I got transferred right in the middle of their WS run. Our first night here was the night of that one game playoff. We did an impromtu pub crawl in Old Town Alexandria trying to get someone to put it on the TV! Thank you Austin Grill bartender (and Mr Jack$on). They've been tough to watch, but they've made some good moves and CarGo and Tulo are goign to be HoF talents.

Load of crap, hope he never gets in, that era ruined the sport Stan, Hank, Mickey, Frank, Brooks and other greats created.

I wish I would have sold my Clemens Topps rookie card when it was actually worth something.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 21, 2012 Author Super User Posted June 21, 2012 Troy Tulo to have groin surgery, no timetable set: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/troy-tulowitzki-groin-surgery-214158564--mlb.html
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 22, 2012 Author Super User Posted June 22, 2012 Valverde is out with a sprained wrist. Grab Benoit is he's still available kiddies. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/detroits-valverde-sprained-wrist-211954378--mlb.html
Super User MCS Posted June 22, 2012 Super User Posted June 22, 2012 Troy Tulo to have groin surgery, no timetable set: http://sports.yahoo....58564--mlb.html OUCH!...that has to hurt a lot of fantasy owners. his production was down to begin with....

Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 23, 2012 Author Super User Posted June 23, 2012 OUCH!...that has to hurt a lot of fantasy owners. his production was down to begin with.... For sure. There has been a rash of SS injuries this year, and our waiver wire is growing thin. I've had Bonifacio on the DL for weeks.
Super User MCS Posted June 23, 2012 Super User Posted June 23, 2012 Yeah my dead spot was third base. Have Zimmerman, traded for chipper, luckily some dumb4$$ dropped headly. I also had Beachy, picked paulino up, now they are done. Is it just me or is everyone and their brother getting tommy John this year? Shoot I think I might need it from casting and reeling too much lol

Shoot I think I might need it from casting and reeling too much lol Yup, lol. It makes me feel a little better that I skipped over Beachy in our draft. Is Chris Davis available in you league? I've had him stashed on the bench, as he is eligible at 1B, 3B, and now OF. As terrible as Pedro Alvarez has been, he's been pretty hot as of late. At SP, it looks like Masterson has finally put it together. Burnett has been a surprise. I may be picking up Benoit from Detroit if Valverde misses any more time. I may be losing a closer if Storen usurps Clippard.

I may be losing a closer if Storen usurps Clippard. No waited too long on Davis, the league I am in is 12 teams head to head. Pretty much any closer, 3b and 1b are gone. This league has a IF spot and extra OFs in addition to std positions, and 3 starters instead of 2. There are a few decent OFs left and some number 3 or 4 starters. I was able to pick up Ubaldo and Bedard to plug into the rotation, jumped on Oswalt and Allan Craig to while they were NA. Just got Jair to fill beachy's spot hopefully he works out but not counting on it
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 24, 2012 Super User Posted June 24, 2012 all this baseball talk too bad my NEW YORK YANKEES are going to win it all.... according to recent history they will anyway!
Super User MCS Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 Redsox got rid of Youk? for some crappy players too, but that kid at 3rd looks legit wish I would pulled the trigger and picked him up when I had a shot instead of pretending zimmerman was gonna get better. and to the white sox, they are finally figuring their top prospects are not worth the tops cards they are printed on. LOL
Super User MCS Posted July 11, 2012 Super User Posted July 11, 2012 Chipper Jones is the man. They sure don't play the game like he did anymore. Sad to see him go.

LOL Lots of chatter so far, and the stove is heating up. J Up may be leaving Arizona, Hamels and Greinke, Street, Prado...

Myers outta Houston for almost sure, gotta wavier wire Wilton. Hope J Putz is outta Az too I am sitting on my ex O Dave hernandez. U think what's his name Nunez is worth a pickup? Bell lost his mojo with no petco.

I thought about it too, but he will not be eligible until the end of the month. Ozzie just said they are going to committee. I had an open spot after Haren went on the DL, so I picked up Cishek. I was just offered Johan Santana for Santiago Casilla, and am mulling that one over. I could use a SP, but may be losing a closer if Street is traded.

I could use a SP, but may be losing a closer if Street is traded. I was a few too late this morning on the cishek pickup. Going to hold off on the trigger right now on New Name Nunez. Guess you have to weigh the trade out. I played in an auto draft league and ended up with Santos and no other closer. I picked myers and hernandez up, luckily Arodolis turned into a closer. but saves are really the only stated they affect and we are a 13 catagory head to head. so I put more stock in a starter because quality starts, wins, whip, era, holds and saves are the catagories. So I got right now 2 closers, 2 guys that get holds, and the rest are starters. I am bout to thin the herd tho, some of them like Bedard and Oswalt are not working out. Ogano and santos are due back soon. So back to your trade you just have to weigh it out and see if having a money starter is worth more to your stats than pretty much saves cuz lets be honest they pitch one inning so they barely affect whip, and if they allow more than 1 they blow it, and the K rate is good but they pitch 2-3 innings a week, that is an ave of what 5 or so for most. you have a chance at picking up wilton on houston or another one of the would be should a closer move?

I am holding off to see how Santana's ankle does today. I am in a 12 man H2H, so like in your league, closers are thin. I have Casilla, Clippard, Street, and Janssen. Though Johnson said he'll stick with Clippard after Storen comes back, I have a feeling one or two slips and he'll be yanked. Janssen could be back to the 8th when Santos returns, and Street may be traded to someone looking for depth. Lopez and Hernandez are both available, and I've been checking trade rumors at least once an hour. Lol. Gotta love some Hot Stove. Hopefully there will be an update on Johan's ankle today.
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 16, 2012 Author Super User Posted July 16, 2012 Johan's ankle is good, and I went ahead and accepted the trade. I accepted another trade yesterday. My buddy offered A-Rod, Alex Rios, and Hanrahan for Beltre and Haren...I accepted that one almost immediately. I hate losing Beltre, but I couldn't say no to tose numbers. My buddy is putting a lot of his eggs in Haren's basket. I'm just glad I could sell high on him, as he's been a waste of a high draft pick so far.

Yeah Haren is up and down. Trades are hard I can never be on the short end and most people are the same. I am just waiting in a pretty good spot for a playoff run. Pick the waivers for a five or six starter. Lol
