I'm in a 3-way tie in a 5-team league for $7.50 each

But they have Furcal/Ethier/Byrd left so odds are that I won't keep pace with the tie.

The Rays better get Hellickson's ass up as soon as they end this All-Star break. He's needed.

Price and Crawford for Utley. Looks so bad right now.

Ya i cant disagree with you there. However there is alot of season left and Price could Zumaya his arm all up at any time. Crawford has to stay healthy though for 2 reasons. 1 he is on my team and 2 he needs to be healthy for the Sox next year

Yea...I don't think the Yankees are gonna go after him. I'd be scared of him with the Sawx though.

I managed Powerades team to a 6-4 victory this week. He has to be happy with that i would imagine. I could never have a headache of a team like he has. IMPOSSIBLE to play matchups because he has no power and all speed. What good is it every week to steal 15 bases and not have the option to sit one of your speed guys when you have a 5-8 steal lead and stick in a power bat AT NO RISK OF LOSING YOU SPEED. Instead you have no choice but to play the speed all week and continue to scratch and claw at HR's, RBIs, and Runs. Not only that his speed guys all play for weak hitting teams so when a guy like McCutchen does steal a base he never scores because he plays for the Pirates.

If i were him i would overpay for a power hitter. Send McCutchen, Abreu and Rauch ( who sits on your bench but is EXTREMELY valuable to others) to someone for a sweet ass bat Like Rios, Konerko, Youkilis just to name a few. Someone will take them you just have to work and find who

Sounds like my problem. So I got Adrian.

But if A-Ram or Ethier hit a HR tonight...he'll be pissed that you didn't have Abreu in.

I need closers now but I can't really trade anyone for closers so I'm kinda stuck. I could probably pry 2 closers away powerade for Adrian or Cargo but I'm not sure if it would be worth it.

Ya i was away today so i couldnt see lineups and stuff. Abreu has been TERRIBLE so it didnt even cross my mind to stick him in there.

I don't know where that power came from against Jesron this week. I mean Berkman with 4? He doesn't hit homers. If he had a regular week...I'm looking at a 6-4 loss.

However...I'm lucky to have gotten out of the week down 7-3

It's gonna be my "12" pitchers against his "13" but who knows how many pitchers will go with rotations being changed around. I think my offense can go head to head with his.

There are so many good young relievers out there who aren't closers.

Gregorson, Kuo, Cashner, Meek and Venters.

And Cashner is my new hero. Furcal strikes out and that knocks down the tie from 3-way to sole possession for me. All I have to do is sweat out Byrd's last AB.

I want Posey or Santana though for catching. Can't seem to get any of them. My pitching is totally suspect though.
