I'd hold on to Lee, the Astros always make that late season push and Lee always has a good 2nd half.

BTW.

 

[champcruthik]

Just wanted to say you guys are REALLY high on Ben Zobrist. Not too sure why honestly speaking.

I'm high on Zobrist because he's 2B/SS/OF eligible. When ranking Zobrist as a SS, Zobrist leads all SS in HR and is 2nd in RBI. Whenranking Zobrist as a 2B, Zobrist is 4th in the league in HR and 7th in the league in RBI. I'm just really high on Zobrist. I'm still trying to get himin my money league

.

 

[thezephyr777]

Yea that fact that he can kind of play wherever is so important.

So this is the proposed deal?

You get:
Tim Lincecum

You give:
Rick Porcello
Adrian Gonzalez

Hell yeah! I'd accept that in a heartbeat!

 

[jordan201]

Same thing I thought.

Let me give another offer I just got thrown:

I get:

Longoria
Granderson
Uggs/Zobrist

I give:

Howard
Damon
Verlander

I'm leaning towards no, but I wanna hear other opinions from you guys (aka Paul)

 

[paul is on tilt]

You're leaning towards 'no'? I'm leaning towards 'yes'.

I'm just not that high on Verlander. And Johnny Damon? He has 12 home runs at home and only 4 away. He's definitely a product of the new ballpark.I'm just not a believer in Johnny Damon. I like that you're getting, my boy, Ben Zobrist in the deal

... and Longoria and Granderson aren't tooshabby

.

Oh, and I'm aware that Granderson is like Damon. Both have a big difference in production home and away... and I still like your end of the deal better.

Johnny Rocket is my boy.

Na man. I kid. You're right.

Granderson> Damon
Longoria> Howard
Zobrist>>> Any MLB player according to you

But Verlander leads the league in K's.

Oh yeah, of course Johnny's your boy. I forgot to look at your sig

.

And yeah, you already know. Zobrist FTW!

If anybody else is out there, give some input on the Zobrist, Granderson, Longoria for Ryan Howard, Verlander, and Damon deal. I think my bias for Ben Zobristis getting in the way of me thinking straight.

 

[scuse7]

Its hard to say because I don't think Damon is this good, yet he keeps it up everytime I think he'll come back down.

A lot depends on how you cover for the positions your giving up. Like who covers for Howard and how is your pitching? And why are you getting Zobrist who doeshe take over for...? Just some things to think about but its hard to decide, im kinda up in the air about it

 

[paul is on tilt]

Ok, I'm giving up on Joe Saunders. I thought that he could get me 15+ wins this year and it looks like he's halfway there, but his ERA is notwhat's up. He's getting lit up as we speak. Who would you pick up?

FA Notables:
Aaron Cook
Doug Davis
Jose Contreras
Brad Penny

Who covers for Howard?

Pujols
Adrian Gonzalez
Branyan

Who covers for Damon?

Granderson (when the deal is done)
Beltran (when he comes back)
Ichiro
Vernon Wells
McCutchen
Podsednik
Zobrist (can be used)

I also have a 2B/SS slot thats empty everynight. I can put Zobrist there.

 

[scuse7]

Paul...Aaron Cook

Def Cook. But don't be surprised if Saunders turns it around, very solid in the 2nd half.

 

[paul is on tilt]

Damn, I while I was waiting for a reply on who to pick up, I went ahead and picked up Contreras. Dude has been really good in the past month and I'm hopinghe keeps it up. Plus even though it's probably not that big of a deal, but Cook's injury kind of made me lean away from Cook and toward Contreras.

 

[proshares]

Never a smart move to pick up Jose

 

[paul is on tilt]

I hope so.

 

[parada45]

I just got Josh Hamilton back

Who Should I drop to activate him?

Denard Span
Melky Cabrera
Luke Scott

I could drop Nick Blackburn (Pitcher) as well

 

[proshares]

Span. Melky getting solid PT and doing well and Scott is having a breakout year. I'd keep Blackburn too.

 

[parada45]

^ I was leaning towards dropping Melky

Span Steals basses and his numbers are just as good as Melky in every other category

Span has also missed a bunch of games with an injury

 

[proshares]

Neither are honestly bad calls to hold on to, I'd just stick with Melky in that line-up, that ballpark and now that it's starting to heat up. Dependson what you need in your league though. Span will def rack up the runs and SB's.

 

[parada45]

Ima go with Span

But thanks for ur opinion
