Carmona, Chris R. Young, and Penny have all been dropped in some of my leagues.

We probobly could have built a team off FA that would be doing better then our drafted teams. I lucked into guys like Quentin because I always needed that last OF. Who saw that coming.

Answer if I should use a #1 on any of those guys.

I really haven't got anything valuable off FA except ludwick, was smart enough to waive patterson finally before his horrid recent games, waiving drew now, umm ichiro exploded in my one league, I havent had that great of luck in general though.

Byrnes was just released. Worth a 1?

I am going to use my #1s on Byrnes and Bruce. Maybe I am wrong to use one on Bruce, but it says he may have the impact that Braun had and it's a league where I am nearly 30 points out and have to try some moves. As usual you weren't here to give your opinions, but I need to just get some things changed in these leagues.

I've been holding Bruce for about 3 or 4 weeks now. Whenever the first rumor about Griffey going to the Mariners was posted I went and grabbed him. Didn't get him everywhere but I do have him on 5 outta 8 teams.

Byrnes is worth a 1 I think. I used a 3 on him and got him though.

For Bruce I think I actually used a 2, not 1. But anyway.... Man my leagues are DISASTERS. I am 28 and 1/2 out in 2 leagues and almost 20 out in the other. lol I do like 2 of the 3 teams though. And that one team just needs time to go by before my aces get me stats (and yes they are aces, now your webb is struggling and your peavy is DLed meanwhile santana still underperforming)

Oops just noticed I only have the #2 in the byrnes league also. The #1 guy is who waived him though and it's doubtful he would do that and pur;pposely waste his #1 to pick him right back up.

Just saw Byrnes is hitting the DL. Maybe this isnt the time to use a 2 on him.

Thanks for telling me in time (not). Now I wasted my #2 and not only that but I have FURCAL and BYRNES both in my ACTIVE lineup now and not a single single way to bench either of them and can't waive them becuase I am not throwing away my #2 pick like that.

All I can do is hope to somehow deal my pitching and they keep ignoring me. I have bonderman, beckett, myers, halladay, zambrano, verlander, harden, johnson, penny, perez, and jenks. No way I am waiving one of those 11 pitchers. The only three ANYONE would consider waiving at this point are johnson (10 k's in 6 innings last game), bonderman (several good starts lately, twice they left him in too long to hurt his totals and he still had good starts), and myers. Myers is the only one performing badly enough to warrant even considering waiving at this point. Penny aint doing so hot either, but he was close in CY voting last year and has potential.

Your advice is being crappy this year and my decisions are even crappier. In my other league though I had figgins ACTIVE through a lot of his injury and finally I got sick of it and picked up longoria to replace him in the lineup and the first day I had longoria he had 2 dingers and 6 batted in.

Bonderman and myers are FA in all my leagues and Perez in a couple.

Then you're in weird leagues since 2 of those are owned in 88% and one in 82%.

Bonderman is probobly over 80 because he has a 2 start week coming up.

Funny you drafted all three of those you are bashing. And Bonderman has had great starts lately.

All my drafts are posted in the blog section. Bonderman was never even considered. Perez and Myers were, but both have tanked. Its to far into the season to take draft position into consideration anyway. I did much better on hitters this year then pitchers. Still my teams suck overall.

You still own them. And you always tlak up Bonderman.

Man this sucks. Penny got bombed again. At this rate I will have to drop him.

i think he has a 2 sraer week next week also

That doesn't matter to me since I only have a shot in daily leagues anyway.

Someone offered me Zimmerman for Byrnes and I ahve byrnes and furcal in with no way to bench them. Given my circumstances and me being near the bottom in rbis and runs and having hurt guys in, is it worth doing or should I just hold on to byrnes for the 2 weeks and then hopefully find a way to get him benched soon?

Also it's annoying cbs puts tips on their front page where first come first serve on picking up players. Like David Price. Although he isn't getting picked up in my daily leagues. And he shouldn't be. You need all slots in daily leagues and sitting him there until the last MONTH of the season would be unwise.

Id rather have Byrnes. Zimmerman is not a major rbi guy and he is on one of the worst offenses in baseball.

You're correct if you live in a Universe where opposites are true. Byrnes has LESS rbis than Zimmerman.

Also now Byrnes revealed he has tears in both hamstrings.

I've got to just stop listening. Now he pulled the offer back. lol So I have a player with torn hamstrings in my ACTIVE lineup.

Someone in my league made fun of me saying how great my starters are, just like you did, and I then had rj strike out 9, beckett strike out 10, and myers strike out 11 in the past 2 days.
