That's why I grabbed Carlos Carrasco when Tyler dropped him. I'm gambling his pulled hammy won't affect his pitching too adversely when he comes back at the end of May (fingers crossed) after he's healed.

With my pitching right now, it was a no-risk gamble for me.

Hope you can get something from him stew. I don't have a good feeling about hanging on to Papelbon for the whole season. He'll probably make the Allstar break before he gets pissy but after that it'll just be a matter of time before he does something stupid.

My bench looks kinda funny right now. I've got Dee Gordon, Max Sherzer, and Matt Harvey and Paul Goldschmit on the bench.

Thanks, I hope so.

I know Greinke is still a stud and will pitch well when the season is said and done, but I am shopping him around for third base help anyway.

I missed this the first time.

That is too funny!

I'd keep Dee. He'll be back and will continue to play well.

Goldy? Pure stud.

Pitchers will come around....it's a long season.

(that's what I keep telling myself, that is)

I don't know about Dee this year. He wasn't doing much so far now he's going to miss either 50 or 80 (can't remember) games. He can train but that's not a live game situation. I just don't know

I would REALLY like to tell you I'm surprised.......but I can't. I mean, come on, he's just a PROFESSIONAL baseball player. You didn't expect him to know the game THAT well did you?

Tunnel vision. Concentrating too much on his hit ball and not enough on the runner at first.

Oops.

Right after I heard about the 20k performance, I remembered you said you were gonna bench him.

I gotta be honest bud, I thought this kind of bad luck only happened to me. I mean, got a player that's tearing it up and riding a hot streak that's also a free agent? Guaranteed I'll kill that hot streak if I were to add that player.

Sorry bud, I know exactly how you felt when you heard about the K's.

I thought it was rather funny. We have a weekly Nascar pool at work and I have Jimmy Johnson this week at Dover. I don't know if I should be excited or send him my condolences.

To make things better, while sherzer was striking out 20, my k total for the week was 0

I haven't heard a lot of talk about Cole Hamels this year. What's up with that? He was the talk of the MLB world for a while
