Losing 9-2 right now, so a pox on both of us, it seems

@Little Red Srarvette!  Look into your heart!  You know this is a good trade!

[MalaCloudy Black]

With Teixeira being day-to-day now, that makes three of my four bench players listed as day-to-day. I'm really hoping Angel Pagan comes back this week so I can sub him back in as my starting left fielder. Same for Jacoby Ellsbury.

Did I miss it? There is no trade

[thatshortguy]

Yeah, Tulo had a decent stretch so it gave me cold feet.  Heyward's still on the block, though.

Scherzer gets 20 strikeouts and no walks.  I still only manage a 5 K/BB ratio on the day.

Welcome to why I completely gave up on pitching in the draft.  Aside from wins, Ks, and saves/holds, the rest seem like a complete crapshoot.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I'm willing to deal Buchholz, probably for another SP. Teixeira and Corey Dickerson are possibilities too, if anyone needs a 1B or an outfielder.

[Twist]

I'm willing to trade Goldschmidt. My inattention during the draft is inevitably biting me right in the backside. And pretty much anyone else. Some kind of multi player package where I can upgrade at least a couple of positions would be dandy.

Of course this week I'm playing the team that has Scherzer.

So out of curiousity...how many people voted against the Heyward-for-Harrison swap that got vetoed?    I haven't agreed to or even proposed a trade in fantasy baseball in probably 10 years but even I couldn't turn that one down when it arrived in my inbox.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I saw it but I didn't vote against it.

I was wondering what happened with that.  Drunkenly made the offer because I was watching a Cubs game and literally cursing every time he pooped the bed during his at-bats.  

[MalaCloudy Black]

Also @Lowerdeck should accept my trade

 

[HC]

If anyone's looking for a closer, I'd be willing to part with one for the right piece. 

[MalaCloudy Black]

BOOOOOOOOOO @thatshortguy I hope Clay Buchholz bounces back and has a stellar rest of the season and you regret it!

[thatshortguy]

I'm sure he'll be great out of the bullpen.  

[MalaCloudy Black]

Right now I have the #1 pitcher on Yahoo Fantasy 

[MalaCloudy Black]

"Angel Pagan's hitting really well, but he's day to day. I'll just bench him and hope nothing bad happens."
"Hey, I can put Angel Pagan back in my lineup! Awesome! And he's still hitting good!"
ANGEL PAGAN AGGRAVATES INJURY, MAY HAVE TO GO ON DISABLED LIST.

sigh

I've had 5 of 9 starters listed as day-to-day (Cabrera, Seguar, Pence, Kang, and Hanley) over the past 4 days or so, with Segura probably going on concussion DL. Has Benji been using voodoo dolls on me!?
