June 14, 200817 yr comment_10051 Great. Now since you said to waive Oliver he has had two great starts in a row and I can't find a way to add him back. I would have to waive isringhausen and in one league I need isringhausen.

I would have to waive isringhausen and in one league I need isringhausen. Just curious as to where I said to waive Oliver Perez? The only post I can find is where I stated what I did with Oliver. Nothing telling you or advising you to do the same. I appreciate the respect your showing me by following my lead but what I can find is multiple posts regarding how bad I am this year in FLB.

I asked for advice and your response was that he was a FA everywhere and that you waived him everywhere. That means you were suggesting to drop him. Now rj and penny had terrible startsd too and myers has gone back to being bad. I am stuck with a lot of underperforming pitchers because I can't just waive guys who were drafted in the first 10 roudns.
June 15, 200817 yr comment_10057 In a league where I have great average and power, I passed up Taveras onw aivers a few days ago and now he stole 5 tonight.
June 15, 200817 yr comment_10060 On all three teams I dropped Penny for Chase Headley. Probably a mistake, but I have tot ake some chances and now Penny's shoulder hurts.
June 16, 200817 yr comment_10065 Only June and I am in abd bad shape. The best I am doing in ANY league is close to 30 points out. In one league II am ahead of 4 teams and still am close to 40 back. lol
June 17, 200817 yr comment_10071 Thames has 6 homers in his last 6 games. I keep being too late to notice trends this year. I picked him up and waived Ibanez. Now he will probably suck and I also almost picked up crede before he had 4 homers in 2 games and I didn't do that either.
June 17, 200817 yr Author comment_10072 I saw that but i also saw his 222 avg and i cant afford the hit in BA. Hopefully he keeps up for you.
June 17, 200817 yr comment_10073 His batting average doesn't matter when he is on this type of run. You use him then drop him again.
June 17, 200817 yr comment_10076 Jeff Clement called up and I was so busy on this site doing programming I missed him everywhere.
June 18, 200817 yr comment_10080 I traded ichiro for texiera straight up just to mix things up. I actually need average and speed, not power. But I guess it was still good because there is more chance of finding top speed on FA than power at some point during the season. Thames already homered for me, by the way. So 7 homers in 7 games now. Swisher heating up. I had Thome benched in 2 leagues and he did great and homered.
June 21, 200817 yr comment_10105 I may also. But he did great other than 1 inning. He had 7 great innings and 1 bad one. I am just so sick of dropping everyone and getting no trades done. I may drop furcal now also. I have had him IN MY ACTIVE LINEUP SINCE HIS INJURY. I've practically GIVEN AWAY my season by keeping hurt players in lineups. I actually has done worst all year though and I think I could find a way to win it. It has cliff lee, cain, lackey, felix, etc.... all on fire and it's offense has guys like manny, texiera, david wright, vlad, etc... so some just need to heat back up. It also has 4 closers. And check this out THERE ARE AT LEAST 4 closers on free agency. Yet in one league I can't get a closer no matter what. In this league bowski, cj wilson, lyons, isringhausen and i think someone else are all FAs and someone just waived another closer too.
June 21, 200817 yr comment_10110 I had done no trades all year in any league and now in a 3 day period I dealt ichiro for texiera straightup and i dealt wright for santana straightup both in the same league. I am considering offers in other leagues also. Do you think it's too late to gain points in saves when I am almost 30 saves behind the guy with the 3 in saves? lol Someone offered me hoffman and francoeur for pierre and taveras, but my only closers would still be hoffman, jenks, and isringhausen who isnt quite back to closing yet. I wonder if I should just deal jenks and get what I can get for him.

All you need is a couple hot closers for a couple weeks to get right back in it.
June 22, 200817 yr comment_10121 and u got most from FA. Is Jenks the only closer u have? He and isringhausen. And this one guy keeps picking up setup men who could be closers in the future and I ahve absolutely no room. It's my league where I have Furcal active. I made dumb mistakes this year. Leaving guys like him, pujols, and soriano in active lineups for weeks or even MONTHS at a time in furcal's case. I am screwed up in rbis and runs now. I wish I had dropped furcal. WHo would have known he would be out THIS LONG with a "sore back".

June 22, 200817 yr comment_10126 That was my host using my name. ANyway Taveras has FIFTEEN steals his past FOURTEEN games. No wonder this guy wants him. lol He is offering me Hoffman for him though and even though I need closers, Hoffman is not getting many saves, so I dunno.
June 22, 200817 yr comment_10127 Enough is ENOUGH. I am not going down without a fight whether I have to waive good players or not. I will add pitchers day after day if I have to in order to get back into k's and wins. I justw aived thome in 2 leagues, kelly johnson in one, rafael soriano, and rafael furcal. Screw this business with me keeping hurt guys in. I may have dropped a lot of highly owned guys but I make up for it because I ALSO have guys who are about to come back. I have pujols and willingham coming back this coming week and I picked up weeks to replace kelly johnson. I have alfonso soriano and davir odtiz not too far off also. It just sucks that now people will think I will waive everyone so they won't trade for them, but I got sick of leaving hurt guys in because of the crappy offers I kept receiving.

I hear ya man. its been tough this year.
June 23, 200817 yr comment_10129 LOOK WHAT TEXIERA DID THE LAST DAY BEFORE I GET HIM. This is starting to just get ridiculous! If it were a daily league I would have already had him in, but of course it's my ONLY weekly league! And you should see what my hitters did today. I guarantee you that you've NEVER had as bad of a hitting day as my 3 teams combined did today. Almost EVERYONE was 0 for 5 and 0 for SIX.
June 24, 200817 yr comment_10139 Now I had santana and felix both dueling today and so neither is going to win since felix got hurt. It gets old even trying when this many things go wrong with the teams.
June 25, 200817 yr comment_10143 Who would you rather keep, taveras or pierre? Taveras on fire stealing every game, pierre higher season average.
