I saw it after one out in the 7th. Striking out 2/3 of the hitters you face in your MLB debut is pretty good, huh?

I have a 10.0 mint condition graded rookie card of his. If only...

My Reds are showing signs of falling apart. Or, rather, the bullpen is a complete disaster (aside from Sir Arthur Rhodes) and the offensive has gone back to its inconsistent self. UGH!!!

Michael Stanton, the other rookie "can't miss" phenom who debuted tonight had a nice game for Florida as well. 3/5 with 2 runs scored and OPB of 1.200.

I am curious as to what the M's are doing with Dustin Ackley?Apparently he has been solid so I don't see why they don't bring him up.Can't do much worse than anybody else on that team hitting wise.

I have no idea what they are doing, not sure they do either. I did find this blurb:



They say 2B and 3B are locked up but he is listed as a 1B on ESPN, not sure why they couldn't bring him up to play there.

No posistion should be locked up on this team.Figgins can go to hell.I don't care what they think when you are supposed to be a contact hitter and you are below .250 this far in the season he needs to take a seat.Call up Ackley and sit that bum.Your in last place it can't really hurt and maybe it will make Chone take his head out of his rear.Kotchman is batting below .200 and Lopez is batting below .250.

In the beginning of this year this team looked pretty good.They did not lose much and they improved their rotation a ton.If they are not able to make a late season comeback than I would talk to Ichiro and see if he wants to go somewhere else.He deserves to play on a winning team.Damn Felix Hernandez needs to go.He has had one good year and other wise he is just good for strikeouts.I am tired of waiting for this supposed King to prove himself.They just need to rebuild all together if this season continues as it is.

I'd like to trade RP Ryan Franklin of the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for a good OF or UT player with + Average and some SB's as well. I'd also be willing to package either Jay Bruce or Hideki Matsui as well in order to get someone good. Who's interested???

I have too many outfielders, so if anyone is interested in one not named Bourn or Pence hit me up. Apparently I need pitching now. :/

What could I do to take either Carlos Lee or Josh Hamilton off of your hands?

Anyone interested in Felix Hernandez?

I'm going to have to hold off on that right now, Ordonez has been in and out of the lineup this week and Rasmus hasn't played since sunday. I'll look over your roster though. Lee is just taking off so even though he's struggled this season, he's still worth a lot to me.

Yeah, Lee is bound to bounce back. But with Hamilton I'm afraid because he always gets hurt.

I haven't had a starting pitcher come close to winning, it's been a bad week.

Thinking about shopping SP Ricky Romero. Anyone want him? If so, for who?

I thought I'd post mainly so you guys don't think I dropped off of the face of the earth. My team finally seems to be shaping up, and I hope that means I'm poised to make a run. I apologize for not posting much in the thread, I've just been a bit busy with work and RL.

Whoa, this thread still exists?!

You're one up from me in the standings, please, go back to svcking and not posting anytime you want.

I'm sure we could manage the rest of the season with 9 teams. I have the power to make it happen :

Wow, I was worried about Jake Peavy after having to push back his start a couple days, then he goes out and pitches a 3 hit shut out. That dude is confusing me more than the movie Traitor...

Vlad Guerrero is now eligible as an OF. :goodjob:

Has he really played that many games? It really doesn't seem like that many.

You only need to appear in 10 games to become eligible. He played the OF a few times early in the season, then with this road trip to NL parks he has been starting in the OF 2 out of every 3 games.

Who has Brandon Phillips? I WANT HIM! I'd be willing to trade you Dan Uggly.

sbr has him, you've been trying to get Philips from him all season.

I'm afraid to attempt a trade with sbr. He knows way more about fantasy sports than I do and I just know I'd get screwed.
