WTF why is Chris Dickerson starting in CF ahead of Drew Stubbs?

I picked him up and read that there was only a very slight chance that Stubbs would start on the bench this season...this really hurts his value.

Laynce Nix was in LF? WTF!!!!

At least Stubbs got in there...i hope it wasn't just because of a blowout game. He went 2-2. Baker is a fukctard.

I thought they had Johnny Gomes too? Where the Reds fans at?

uh oh,looks like my sleeper pick of Kelly Johnson is looking pretty good. Guy is a good hitter, like he is a better hitter than smucks like Brandon Phillips. just watch the way he works the count. does it as well as anyone.

I picked up him really late, but with low expectations.

feels good that I picked him up in my keeper league and didn't have to spend any money (auction)

I just picked up Kelly Johnson from FA...Kinda pissed I missed out on the 2 bombs lol...Especially since Kinsler is on the DL and I've been starting Orlando f'in Hudson who hasn't done sheyit.

He absolutely should have been drafted in normal sized leagues, so good pickup.

**Big_Spaz** · 04-09-2010, 10:59 AM

For those that said Gil Meche he starts Sunday (comes off the DL tomorrow). So you may want to grab him now.

I could see him having a very solid season. Even if the run support isn't quite there.

Casey McGehee is a pretty good sleeper. Can play 2B and 3B. If he is still a FA I'd pick him up.

well he made up for it by driving in 4 runs. come to think about it barton is a pretty good cadidate for sleeper this year.

The way he was hyped up, id hope so. I remember when we had him packaged with dan haren for the mulder trade and he was actually the vaunted crux of the deal, not haren.

They were talking about him finally being able to hit the weights consistently being in the majors...it's given him a much higher velocity than anyone thought he would have this year. His value is going to skyrocket soon.

true. i saw him hit 97 with a fastball. that's several mph faster than last year. plus he's only 22.

he should be 3-1 right now...if only he got anything resembling run support.

3 walks in 2 games, cant complain... the hits will come if he keeps walking like that by showing patience.

**Max~Power** · 04-26-2010, 11:42 AM

People might be sleeping on J.P. Howell (TB - RP) he has been on the DL since opening day. He might be sitting out there on the wire for some of you. He is only owned in 23% of Yahoo! leagues right now.

Considering how good the Rays are playing he could end up being a big addition to your pen. He won't be back until late May, but don't let someone else scoop him up if you have room.

2009: 66.2 innings, 7 wins, 17 saves, 79 K's, 4 Holds, 2.84 ERA, 1.20 WHIP

**Stoicao** · 04-26-2010, 04:41 PM

You think he'll surpass Soriano in the closers role?

I don't know much about the Rays, but I'm pretty sure they specifically signed Rafael Soriano to be their closer. Until he is either injured or blows many opportunities I think he is locked in.

**Stoicao** · 04-26-2010, 05:09 PM

That's what I assumed too, which would mean Howell wouldn't really have much value unless you're in a really deep league or a league with holds.

I'm in a deep keeper league that has Holds and ERA. If I can get a player on a good team that I know will get me a hold and a 0.00 ERA a couple nights a week, he is gold to me.
