thanks for the advice guys

fwiw I found out Cust was starting so I started:

Cust
Cruz
Ortiz
Upton

figured that was my best OBP/SLG/power combination.

Davies doesn't start until 3:30 and the other starters (villain's starters) should be 2 hours into their games at that point, so I can make a decision then.

bleh villain's pitchers are doing very well right now... he pulled within 0.27 in whip, 0.08 in ERA and Ks. Guess I gotta throw Davies out there in Texas.

I would still sit Davies. He's only going to hurt your WHIP and opp has Uehara who's going to get tagged eventually.

villain is now leading in ERA fwiw

Community alert: Top prospect Jordan Zimmerman to be recalled and make major league debut tomorrow at home against Atlanta. I grabbed him in all leagues. He plays for Washington so that kinda sucks wins wise but he's one of the top 10 prospects in baseball and would be a candidate for this years Lincecum.

i wouldnt expect davies to help you out much, you might want to hope one of his guys blows up

basically the thing is im about to fall behind in Ks... i feel like Davies gives me a decent shot to win Ks and at that point I am freerolling on WHIP/ERA?

Are you a Gambler or aren't you?

i gamb00led fwiw

fml davies falling apart on the mound if he can get a lucksack out here he'll have had a very lucky first inning

edit - yep fml

I can't find him anywhere?

kinsler, cruz and blalock are allowed to homer against davies. no one else is.

He's in Yahoo. I like Zimmerman a lot, but I wouldn't even put him in the top 10 pitching prospects league wide. He's also not going to put up Lincecum type numbers. He has 4 solid pitches, but nothing dominant.

He is probably the best arm in the Nationals organization until June. Also, probably worth owning in most leagues.

Texas called up Derrek Holland today. ATM, it looks like he'll be used in the pen, but none of the Texas SP are very stable. He had one of the biggest breakout '08 in all of MILB dominating at 3 levels. He's a lefty with a fastball can hit 99, has a plus changeup and an avg. slider.

Search for Zimmermann with two n's. I overstated him a bit (a lot) as I thought I remembered him earlier this season to be a top 10 prospect and he put up strong numbers in ST. I think he's worthy of a stash but because he's on the Natinals there's not going to be many win opportunities.

Want to open up a roster spot for Swisher or Kubel. Points league with basically 1 pt per total base, R, RBI, SB. -.5 for K.

Should I drop Aviles, Chris Davis or Felipe Lopez?

Pick up Swisher or Kubel?

Todd Coffey with a 2 2/3 IP save!

I was going to post this morning that Coffey or DeFilce may be next in line for save opportunities in MIL.

He's been solid for the Brewers in a lot of high leverage situations (2.00 Avg Game LI in his 6 appearances). Brewers announcers made a comment that Coffey wants to pitch 90 IP this year!! Sounds like a must have in Hold leagues and potentially a good source to vulture saves for the next few weeks till Hoffman comes back.

Nats blow a save for the 3rd straight day. Today it was Hinckley in the 8th, not Hanrahan in the 9th. DC paper's this morning implied that Hanrahan's job safe since Rivera sucks too and Acosta dosen't want to have Biemel close.

davies settled down and K'd 8 guys to lock me up the K win... now get a W while still allowing cruz and Kinsler to homer hahahaha

Got offer Matt Holliday and Kyle Lohse for Manny Ramirez in a H2H 10-team keeper league, do it up? Other guys I'm probably keeping on my team are BJ Upton/Nelson Cruz/Kevin Youkilis, Joe Mauer, or Chris Davis.

who should I start this week Adam Jones or Daniel Murphy? does anyone know how many games Jones might miss because of his injury?

wow really rough week with my bats but I still managed to go 7-3 against my opponent because my pitching was pretty good.

My bats were just horrendous though: 24R, 7HR, 29RBI, 2SB and .237AVG. It doesn't help that Prince Fielder is batting just .189 so far and only has 1 HR. Should I be panicking or is this normal?

Holliday is better than Ramirez straightr up IMO, especially if you can Keep him going forward.

26R 54H 8HR 34RBI 7Steals .257BA 4W 4Saves 51K 4.08ERA 1.58WHIP .360OBPA


good for 0-3-1 (won steals, saves, Ks, tied wins)

my opponent ran hotter than the sun this week hitting .342 and scoring 45 runs, and just barely squeaked by in the pitching averages stats. FFFFFFFFFF

Sit or Start Edwin Jackson this week vs the Angels?

Start 'em
