I'm not judging but..... Geoff Jenkins dropped for Jay Bruce, Vance? That's odd.

 

jenkins left the game with an injury i think

It's a gamble pick. I'm not likely to win this thing anyway. The only way for me to make up ground is to do something different. I'm hoping Bruce goes on some kind of streaky, flukey, homerun binge. If it doesn't happen, so what? I probably wasn't going to win anyway. It's my version of trying for the hail mary.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, gotcha. Guess I should figured hat if you picked Hamilton or Quentin you'd get the same amount of HR as everyone else. thus canceling out that production.

 

Me slow.

Add Uggla

 

Did you get this?

[TruffleShuffle]

i keep moving up every time there is an update... after spending most of last year in first place and then fading late, i'm apparently trying the opposite approach this year.

[Southpaw191679666239]

Drop Hafner

Add Uggla

 

Did you get this?

 

Yes, I did. Sorry I didn't update with my usual.

 

 

Done. :good:

[Southpaw191679666239]

** MID-WEEK UPDATE DUE TO ERROR **

 

Due to missing 4 home runs for Ryan Garko, I have updated the standings. There are only four members whom this affected. They are: NCCubFan, Shilzzz, Burtonbell, and SouthSideRyan. Those four have had the 4 home runs added to make up for the mistake. My apologies.

Looks like I pulled away by a few home runs. Good to see. Time to kick it up a notch...

 

1st post ASB transaction:

 

Drop Hunter Pence

Add Brian McCann

[TruffleShuffle]

sweet, i was down 34 and in 22nd place on june 8... now i'm only down 16 and i'm up to 4th.

 

problem is, i don't have any dead weight to drop. i could dump swisher or laroche, but laroche has been on a tear and always hits a lot in the summer, and swisher still has 14 homers, which isn't terrible.

 

i have to start employing some strategy now. my team overlaps with logan except for...

 

him: pujols, uggla, d. lee, mccann, hamilton

me: teixeira, swisher, aramis, laroche, ankiel

 

if i dropped swisher it'd probably be for uggla, which isn't making up any ground. i guess i just have to hope that laroche stays hot and maybe one of his guys (feel free, pujols) gets hurt.
