i've been disappointed in verlander so far. he doesn't seem to be throwing as hard, and he's not striking people out.

Yep - I'm worried about the "lots of innings, young pitcher" syndrome.

Once the Pistons lose in the playoffs the entire city will be a disappointment.

I'm pretty sure I'd dump Zito at this point.

 

Judging by the response I got when I attempted to trade him, you view seems to be shared by others. Hopefully in a few weeks he will be showing signs of recapturing that CY Young form :roll:

The only time he has touched it the past couple of years was when he picked up the trophy and moved it to San Francisco.

I'm bringing Randy Johnson off the DL for a 2 start week in week 3, so someone has to go. I hate to drop any of these guys because they have been productive for me. I wouldn't mind an upgrade at 3b, and I'm willing to wheel and deal. Pitching is my biggest strength to trade from.

 

In the meantime, by this evening I'll have to decide between Conor Jackson, Jack Cust, Edwin Encarnacion or Joe Crede to be dropped. If anyone is interested in trading for any of these guys, I'd probably be interested in a minor leaguer in return.

I love the addition of Pronk... As soon as Granderson comes back, I'm REALLY gonna like my team! Hey Adam, are you as confident now as you were to start the year? :)

sure. i'm 2-0, only 100 points or so off the pace, and teix, soriano, and martin are all hitting under .200. hawpe and uggla are under .225, and fielder has 0 homers. hill and liriano haven't done squat. plus rollins and wigginton are hurt. i'm not worried.

Very true... I'm hoping I'm not getting the best weeks out of my team this early. I like your bats a LOT, but your pitching could be your demise. At least I hope that's the case.

With all of the talk about 3B, maybe I should say Atkins is on the block.

 

Feel free to send me your offers, especially those that includes exempt players and/or top prospects and/or draft picks.

I dunno that Juan was talking to the wrong person above... :)

 

i don't think i've bragged too much about my team since the season started...haven't had much to brag about.

 

maybe i bragged a tad about my THREE straight titles, but i feel that was justified. i wasn't getting the respect i felt was due, so i had to make sure everyone remembered the dynasty that was in progress.

 

you, on the other hand, have been quite the boaster. i showed some of your posts to prince fielder and he threw a tray of carrot sticks across the room. PISSED.

Hilarious! I'm not boasting, as I have nothing to boast about, but I am quite excited about my team. I think there's a difference! :)

Abuck feeling disrespected is like Memphis basketball feeling disrespected even though they were ranked #1 most of the season.
