tucker is the most obvious fit imo

Turner, Carroll too

Any rumor on the next Braves manager on y'alls end? Weiss and possibly DeRosa are what I've heard.

Nicklaus Gaut

11:38

My heart wants it to be DeRosa

AL Only. I've lost Bubic, Olson and Walters, and am fearful for Cantillo and Slade. Do you like any of Ginn, Hauser, Perkins or should I just save spec?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:39

I like me some Perkins, over spec'ing

Ordinary World

What's worse about Duran going to Philly: losing his stats in AL Only or breaking up my team's Duran Duran combo?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:39

The latter

not even close

don't cry for yesterday

Pep

11:40

Starting pepiot @nyy today?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:40

I did -- how's it going?

wait, 12:05

but yes, I like him

Jayson

11:40

JT Ginn and Troy Melton look kinda interesting, what say you?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:41

both but Ginn more so, for me

Prospects

11:41

Is Leo De Vries the best prospect ever dealt at the deadline?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:41

I need to do some googling but it has to be in the conversation, right?

at least, when it comes to "perception of prospect at time of trade" and not actual eventual success

11:42

Hey hey Tigers fans!...

looking to acquire Kyle Finnegan!

11:43

What, if anything, are the Red Sox doing? Our fan base has expectations greater than a spot leftie reliever.

Nicklaus Gaut

11:43

I would adjust expectations

though, I imagine they'll grab someone for 1B

Josh Bell, anyone??

11:44

I'm sure that will make Boston happy

Standard Yahoo 5x5 categories league, is Lindor for Tucker a reasonable challenge trade?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:45

It's a terrible trade but doesn't rise to that leve, I don't think

terrible grammar there

challenge that

Double D

11:45

Should we be at all concerned about Duran's workload this year? 49 innings with a third of the season to go seems like maybe a little high for a guy whose career high is 67 innings

Nicklaus Gaut

11:45

I'm more worried about the park

Donkey Boys

11:47

Scoresheet playoff lineup I can use 4 SPs. Which 4 should I use: Gore, Pepiot, C Holmes, E Perez, Falter, S Gray, N Martinez (or current IL members P Lopez, A Nola). Deadline to set lineup is Sep1

Nicklaus Gaut

11:47

Gray, Gore, Pepiot, Lopez

buffy, the umpire slayer

11:48

I'm in that nerdy Runs Created League (Bill James Technical Runs Created Formula). I have Wallner and he is currently in a downturn. I have had him the past two years so I know he is streaky. Available is Loperfido who came up 7/6 and is tearing things up. It is one or the other. Two questions, for the next 5 weeks, who would be better (think OPS) and also what will the impact of Varsho's return have on Loperfido's PT. I am fine if he just gets to play 2-3 games a week. Less fine if he is sent back. In a 3-way battle for the crown.

Nicklaus Gaut

11:48

I'd rather have Wallner -- really worry Loperfido just ends up back down eventually

hidden sb's (AL style)

11:49

Running out of FAAB and need to speculate on a souce in a deep AL only - between Hamilton (Bos), Tolbert (KC), or Keaschall (Min) how would you rank them regarding steals potential over the final 2 months?? Keaschall appears to be scuffling in his return from the fractured forearm fwiw

Nicklaus Gaut

11:49

Hamilton > Keaschall > Tolbert

Feeling Judged

11:49

Is judge still a top target in my AL only or do I need to see about the arm first?

Nicklaus Gaut

11:50

I'm seeing about the arm first
