One can hope. I need all the help I can get.

[NCCubFan]

It will be interesting to see if my matchup with Raw is affected by our trade. So far Hardy's had a good game for me and Santana's had a good, but not great, start for him.

[shnsajax]

Owings relief points for me should come off. Losing his start might be a blessing in disquise for me. They should go ahead and make him a 1st baseman.

If he translates into an All-Star appearance at 1B he can pitch in the 17th inning next year.

The way he has pitched the past month he will just blow it and the NL will just lose again.

Nah, he'll give up the lead with his pitching but then win the game with his bat.

while i'm juggling brett myers, joe blanton, etc into my rotation, liriano has posted an 0.25 era in his last five starts at AAA. one earned run in 35 innings. a run. one.

Gotta save that year of arbitration, though. Who needs Liriano in the majors when they can trot out Livan Hernandez instead?

[abuck1220]

wow, did that russell martin trade suck. blanton's been terrible (and was just traded to a band box) while ubaldo has finally gotten it together and martin is martin. thankfully sanchez has been good and i was able to get doumit or it'd look even worse.

[abuck1220]

brett myers is that rare player that you can hate as a player and as a person. good for him.

[Quakers]

I am not ignoring the rade offers, but I am busy and I want to see how well I do this week.

I thought that clock only started once and then kept going unless a player is disabled?

I thought so too, but apparently not since there have been so many articles speculating that's why Liriano is being kept down.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Service time can only be accrued by time on the MLB 25 man or DL. Liriano isn't on either.

[shnsajax]

I need to get Owings points from yesterday removed since he continues to come in for relief or all points this week removed if it hasn't happened at all. I also moved him to my bench to avoid having this happen again this week. Dbacks should just send him to the minors if they aren't going to start him.

And lose one of their best pinch hitters? :D

[NCCubFan]

I'm willing to listen to trade offers. I've already made one trade this week, am negotiating for another possible trade, and would consider others. My main interests would be good exempt players, top prospects, and/or draft choices. Players like Vlad would certainly cost a lot more than others, but I'm not Elliott Ness; I don't have any Untouchables. :D

[tadowdaddy]

Kazmir!!! I hated giving up Davis though.

[rawaction]

It's on Eastern Division! Let's go! Picked up Cain, Peavy, and Kazmir! It's gonna be a dogfight from here on out!

The real fun thing about it is that we all play each other in the last 5 weeks... Hopefully Oswalt comes on strong and stays uninjured in the last 5 weeks.

[abuck1220]

i think i could have beaten that offer had i known kazmir was available.

Just curious what you'd have offered? Davis is going to be a super stud. I made the offer today, Matt called and really liked it because of Davis...

Fixed.

eh, if he's as high on davis as you apparently are, then he probably would have preferred what you gave him. i would have given him something similar to what i gave juan for peavy...probably would have made danks the main part. i guess i'm not that big on davis.
