I'd trade him for about 5 prospects if he will not stay for a reasonable price... which isn't likely IMO.

I enjoy watching good, non-one sided Baseball. Period.

Great slide into home plate by Darwin Barney last night. Maybe that's how it's meant to be done

Yep. But catchers can block the plate at their own peril. I used to prefer (as a catcher) the go-to-the-ball (like receivers in football) and come back to the plate with a sweeping tag (if it a bang-bang play) or a shin guard/ball in glove two-hand slam into the runner tag (if have time). That way the catcher delivers the blow instead of receiving it

Yah. And yet it still seems out of place to me that if the catcher puts a foot wrong and gets injured by 275 pounds of Brewer first baseman throwing himself bodily at the opposing player, somehow the defenders of baseball see it as the catcher's fault.
Actually, we're probably done with this one now - I just loved Barney's slide, and it made a perfect counterpoint to the Cousins & Fielder crap from earlier. If you want to throw one last swing back my way then we can call it quits, and move onto something else.

phils swept away the marlins yesterday. i love double-headers 
marlins look shell-shocked. i know they're struggling but they just have that look of pre-determined defeat on their faces.

Karma, baby. I think they've lost something like 13 of their last 14 since Cousins hit Posey.

could be. they are surely in a funk. they'll bounce back some, maybe by the time josh johnson comes back.
So even after stumbling off into the sunset, Manny continues to be Manny. Actually, he hasn't done anything new, but the deferred money the Dodgers still owe him could be the straw that breaks McCord's back:
How far we have come from 'Mannywood'...

The Marlins have lost 14 of their last 15. But if you really want to see where things are going bad, it had to be when JC Romero set them down in order that 1 inning. Something's gone hideously wrong when JC Romero has a 123 inning against you.
That said, the Phils waived Romero and DFAed him yesterday.
Cliff Lee pitched a nice 2-hit shutout yesterday, only struck out 4 batters though.

bro, you should set your fantasy team up some. remarkably, you are in 3rd place and have been beating teams that are furiously trying to move up the ranks

How about adding his hitting stats to my fantasy team? I sure need it

lol! That's hilarious. I haven't really been paying attention, mostly because I didn't get to draft my own team (time mix-up). Although it might have ended up for the better, since the players I would have drafted are all either injured or rather underperforming.

@dg, would be nice, right?
@Owen, well then, maybe you should continue to be hands off
i would guess there have been some grumbles from those below you in the standings you're in the thick of it though. couldn't hurt to maybe get some DL guys out of your lineup. up to you though

Wait, that's you? You've got a decent squad and you're in 3rd place, you should definitely play. I only narrowly defeated you a few weeks ago. One check in a week is all you really need.
All you need to do before next week is put Longoria back in for Morneau, replace Lyon, and trade me Craig Kimbrel.

In whom I trust
You're kidding me that a player who has not been paying attention to the league is that high up. 
It seems most of my picks have failed miserably. The ones that are doing good are the ones I had to replace them with.
