2 spots better than the Tigers!

2nd Place!!

Ok, I just got offered a trade of Griffey Jr. for Adam LaRoche. This might be a dumb question, but should I accept it? I'll be giving up Adam LaRoche and adding Griffey Jr. Neither have really been lights out this year and Griffey gets the injury prone tag. Plus he might be off to Seattle at some point this year. I don't really know how that last part is relevant, I just felt like pointing it out.

Oh, and I'm back in 3rd Place...

I play fantasy baseball all the time

This trade offer is still available. I'm thinking about declining it, but Griffey can go on a tear, but he can also tear something. LaRoche isn't excatly hitting any better. I don't know what to do!

not sure how this fantasy baseball really works, but I just watched Griffey play last week and he's not looking all that great

Easy. Whoever you think will put up better numbers is the player you want. Hint: For batters, strikouts are bad, homeruns are good.

Well he certainly didn't hit much and he made a huge error He looked like he may have been a Tiger.

If it isn't obvious by now, we aren't doing a fantasy league. They do have half season ones, so there's still a possibility that we can start one after the ASG.

For those of you that care, I've been stuck in 3rd place forever. My current roster includes...

C Rod Barajas
1B Justin Morneau
2B Brian Roberts
3B Troy Glaus
SS Ryan Theriot

DL Eric Byrnes
DL Rafael Furcal
DL Jorge Posada
DL Jeremy Accardo
DL Joel Zumaya

Don't ask me why I have so many pitchers and so little hitting. (But you might be surprised I don't lead the league in IP. I do in pitch counts though). Don't ask me why I still have Accardo because I'll probably dump him once he gets activated.

I'm currently in 1st place!!!

Also, I picked up Ken Griffey Jr. off the waiver wire. My offense is so bad, I thought it was worth a gamble.

You better win now! We're all cheering for you....well, maybe not SoulRat.

Hey, even with two disastrous starts by Randy Johnson and Jeff Suppon, I'm still in 1st place. :haha:

Randy Johnson's start wasn't a total loss either since he did give me a complete game.

Oh yeah, I'm not in 1st place anymore, only 2nd.

Soulrat must be jumping for joy...

She told me she won't be happy until you're in last.

Now I'm in 3rd Place! Thanks a lot, Greg Maddux!

My best team, out of my 5, is in 2nd, but, its a tie for the worst team in the league.

Maddux had that brilliant streak of 7 starts with a 2.15 and got nothing to show for it (6 no-decisions and a loss). I guess he decided since he isn't going to win, why try? Two terrible starts in a row

Still 4 wins behind Clemens.

Stupid injuries! I'm still in 3rd place
