We all saw how he started last season. I just don't want to take the risk. He's a head case and can blow up at any moment. I hope he doesn't...but I wouldn't put money on him. And his WHIP, historically, isn't appealing.

Ok thats a fair assessment... But Im not trading a quality pitcher like BUM for a closer... Closers suck and if you don't have a top 5 than they end up hurting your team

Yea...I just had to see where you were at in these talks.

My "smack talk" was more of a joke since I had 1 save, coming in the final game of the week...yet I had 3 closers against a team with none.

I'd be willing to trade one of my closers...but it would have to be for a guy that I want.

Looks like you'll be catching a break iSteal...Crow may actually be taking over the closers job.

The last one was alright but dont have any interest in trading Kinsler and replacing him with Johnson or adding Vlad. I have no room for him.

Well that still does not help the fact i dont want to replace Kinsler with Johnson or add Vlad who i have no room for. I WILL NOT trade any of my big hitters in any deal that includes a pitcher.

I actually would rather have Bumgarner over Chacin i think. I would have to look at it. You could make it Kershaw and Johnson and i am still not doing it.

I would never trade kershaw for kinsler...  Kinsler aint gonna do anything different than Johnson now that he is back and healthy except steal a few more bases

At least you had a good reason to bench Napoli. I had none for benching my guys.

Come on now. I understand why you would not trade Kershaw for Kinsler who are both 3rd round picks. Its just we like to manage our teams different. You cant talk to me stupid though saying they are going to be the same. You already told me you wont do Pagan for Bumgarner no less Chacin which you offered. Then you think Johnson and Kinsler are going to be the same. On top of that you threw me a 5th rounder and Vladdy. Something not adding up to me...

Kinsler and Johnson will be the Same ... Both will hit around .260 to .270

25 to 28 HR's same RBI's MORE SB's for KINSLER


I am SUBSTANTIALLY overpaying for speeed...  I have been in the top 3 since day 1... My pitching staff is as good as it gets... So I am using it to get 2 categories I need 

Runs and SB's

I'm sorry but Johnson and Kinsler won't be the same. And Johnson probably will be closer to .250 by season's end.

If I didn't have a mancrush on Bourn, Crisp and Tabata...I'd offer you something. But I do.

Tabata is available if you want him...but that's only if you want to offer Bum or Chacin for him.

The fact of the matter is ... I do not need BUM or Chacin or Cueto or Romero Or Jurjens ...  

However i need an Ellsbury type player who I have been trying to get for a month...

I have offered practically everyone on my team for ellsbury aside from tulo, kersh, and lince



And tried to get Reyes from Jamoaks but he wouldnt trade Overbay for Pujols
