The ABs aren't there unless Beltran, Berkman or Holliday gets injured. Matt Carpenter is a cut-rate version of Craig in deeper leagues.

3 old guys that could use one day off per week, throw Craig in at 2nd two more days per week and have him as a late inning bench bat in the other game or two. Theoritcally, I think this makes the most sense. We'll see if St Louis agrees...

He's not really a 2B.

Why, are they any good?I didn't actually mean pumped for this specific matchup, but meant I was pumped to get him back in my lineup after his last outing.Anyone think he's worth holding in a 16 team super league?

Footballguy
they stink but their offense is good especially in fenway. but i thought you meant for this matchup. i thought i read his last start vs tex was all smoke and mirrors. id have no problem droping him

What did you read? I know he still had 5 walks, but only 2 hits 6 K in 7 innings.

Better prospect to pick up, Will Middlebrooks or Travis d'Arnaud?

Picked up Nieuwenhuis in my keeper, gonna see how this plays out but the guy seems to have a knack for getting on base. Better option as the #2 guy in the order on a decent hitting team than some other WW fodder.

Is Doumit just having a couple good weeks or is he a half decent catcher? Worth dropping Soto for him?
Captain Hook
Footballguy
Doumit is a good hitter and is getting more AB with Mauer playing more 1b and DH.......that might change if Morneau could ever stay on the field but I would rather play Doumit than Soto
Hosmer and Beckett were both dropped in my league. Should I bother picking them up? Should I pick up Santos and just have a wasted roster spot till he comes off the DL (only 2 DL spots allocated and both are taken).

Bernadina or Andres Torres?

Torres plays well for a week, goes into a two week slump then pulls his labia and is out 20 days. Rinse and repeat every 45 days for the entire season.

I'd give Bernadina a try......at least he'll play every day.

Much more versed in Roger since I've owned him a couple of times. Seems like a tease.... just dropped Fowler, seems like the same player. Knew AT did a DL stint already this year, but didn't realize it was a habitual thing

Torres is a switch hitter but LHB vs RHP has always been his stronger side. In a very smalll sample, he's doing better the other way this year. If he hits lefties enough to stay in the lineup, he'll do better than the Shark in the counting categories.Bernadina is going to sit against most LHP in favor of Nady, Tyler Moore, De Rosa or whoever.

Will Desmond Jennings actually hit the DL for his injury?

Based on Huston Street's injury history? Thayer. I can't find much news on Santos but he's supposed to be back in the next few weeks. Then again, it is a shoulder but so is Street's. I say Thayer.

In a redraft would you drop Bryce Harper to pick up Allen Craig?

Can you trade off Harper for something else to an owner who only watches ESPN and therefore is tight in the pants for Harper?
SouthJersey
Footballguy
Doubt I could get much value in return. In a 10 team league with shallow benches (only allowed to carry 15 hitters total) and on top of it most guys only make trades if they find someone who is desperate and willing to overpay.
Captain Hook
Footballguy
Depends on what your categorical needs areI would guess right now that ROSCraig better for HR and BAvgHarper better for R, RBI, SB

I'm in a points league. You get a point for everything you do. single = 1 point. Homer = 6 points (4 for each base you touch plus 1 for a run and 1 for a rbi).Does Berkman's return affect Craigs ABs?
scrumptrulescent
Footballguy
I've read conflicting reports. The manager says they need to get Craig rest and make sure not to overplay him. I'm guessing that's because of his knee. But also most sites I read state that the Cards have to play him because of his bat. Guys like Berkman, Holliday, and Beltran will need plenty of rest. I've heard something like 4 starts per week for Craig. That may actually be enough to put up better stats than a guy who starts 6/7 times per week based on how Craig's been hitting so far.

Yeah but some of the Booyah crowd think he's awesome. I had a guy offer him to me straight up for Darvish....and I think he seriously thought it was fair.
Angry Beavers

no news on this so far today
edit to add:Rays not expected to make any roster moved today, so they are apparently giving this one more day. I am waiting to see if by some miracle he is in the starting lineup this evening before benching him for the week. I am not sure what else you can do at this point.2nd edit:Jennings out of the lineup tonight
