I need pitching. Anyone's available. Just remember that in fantasy' date=' hitting's more valuable.[/quote']

Unless you need pitching.

Unless you need pitching.

 

Well said.

[CrespoBlows]

Jeff Kent is available if anyone wants him.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

I'm willing to move Damon and one of my pitchers for a top-tier outfielder. Quality of the pitcher depends on quality of the OF in return...

[schillingouttheks]

HoSN, I sent you a proposal. If you do not like it, please counter.

Countered.

[CrespoBlows]

Who wants Dan Haren?

[schillingouttheks]

Me. If you need an OF, my outfield is loaded. Send me an offer.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

Who wants Dan Haren?

 

I'd love to have Haren...but you've gotta come a LONG way from that original proposal. Haren's stats aren't THAT much better than CC's, and you want Pujols as well? He's returned to form and will hit 45 HRs by season's end.

Oh, wait.

 

That only works for Riverside. Please forgive me.

Hey ZachAttack and Brooklyn Yanks...I need big showings out of you this week. Especially you, Zach. I win 7-3 last week and STILL lose ground on Rick? Sheesh, that's rough.

[schillingouttheks]

Holy s***. I was beating Los Pepinos (ORS) by like 4 or 5 last night, and then I check today only to find out that he came back and beat me 7-4. Good God.

Ha, ha, that's what happens when your opponent goes 12-0 ! Don't worry, this week I'm not playing a "phantom", Zach has already beaten me once this year.

Sorry, well not really, but I feel your pain.

 

It was a big day for my boppers. I think my crew hit .450+ on the day, .500 OBP, with 4 dingers. Just thank your lucky stars I was stupid enough to give Bailey another shot or I might have won ERA and WHIP with Lincecum and Billingsley combining for 14 IP with only 6 H and no runs.

[ORS]

How is the 25 IP minimum going to work during All-Star week? I doubt many get to it Thurs-Sun. Is there a commish override?

[schillingouttheks]

I could try to change it for this one week. Let me take a look.

 

EDIT: Look at the league notes above the standings. That explains what will be taking place.

[schillingouttheks]

I have a stacked OF and I'm willing to move any one or two (depending on the offer...but not Holliday and Sizemore together) for a top-tier starting pitcher. Send me an offer if interested.

Offer proposed.

[schillingouttheks]

It's intriguing, I'll give you that. The only problem is that Holliday gives me TREMENDOUS contributions every day, whereas I'd get a contribution from Smoltz every fifth day. Not only that, but he's coming off the DL. I'd need some more security in the form of another good pitcher if I were to give someone like Holliday up. I'll throw in Chris Ray or Wickman or Wheeler (not Saito...I can't afford to give him up) to give you saves because you desperately need them for another pretty good starter.

 

EDIT: I sent you something on the lines of what I'm thinking about. Feel free to counter it if you want. This is tough because you don't have many batters at all on your team.

[riverside sluggers]

Just got to thinking... What hidden gems have you guys picked up, that have turned out to be fantasy studs?

 

I was able to grab the Angels' Reggie Willits and Brewers' Ryan Braun

I countered. I'd rather have you closing games for my team than Chris Ray

[schillingouttheks]

Fair enough, lol. I like Smoltz, but I just don't think him alone (especially coming off of the DL) is enough for me to trade Holliday for him. Even if Schilling is added (I have no idea if he's going to be a shitfest when he comes back).

Wow...a chance to add an ace and a solid #2 to your rotation in exchange for a player (allbeit a VERY good player) at a position where you have a logjam and you turn it down. You drive a hard bargain, Sir.

[schillingouttheks]

I'd trade Hawpe or Rowand for Smoltz, but I don't know I guess I value the players a bit differently. Schilling probably won't be back until the first week of August and even then who knows if he'll be what we want him to be?

 

I just have trouble giving up someone of Holliday's caliber for two guys who are coming off the DL. I know Smoltz is coming off on Wednesday, but I need more security if I'm giving up Holliday. Put it this way: If I'm giving up Holliday, I'd expect to get something like Johan Santana in return.

Fair enough, I can see where you're coming from with the guys coming off of the DL. I don't NEED to make a move as I like the way my team is put together right now which is why I'm not reaaaaaaaally willing to budge on what I'm offering, but I would like to add Holliday. Let me know if you come up with any other ideas.

[schillingouttheks]

I feel like I have a damn good team, but they underachieve. What the hell is wrong with my team? I look at it and wonder why the hell I'm in 9th place. It's annoying as f***. Granted, my pitching is weak in areas, but my offense should be mashing.

Any questions about Smoltz coming back from the DL Zach? :harhar:

[schillingouttheks]

Holliday is still worth more than a healthy Smoltz and a question mark in Schilling. :harhar:

Can you speak a little louder? I can't quite here you...there must be a sound vortex or something between me and the 9th place spot...:harhar:

[schillingouttheks]

Touche, mother f***er. Tou-f***ing-che.
