I usually end up with several good pitchers for cheap, that's kind of the goal of my whole pitching strategy. Fister, Ryu, and Minor make up the top of my rotation behind my aces. Deeper I picked up Detwiler, Masterson, Burnett, and Griffin. We'll see how Slowey and Bills do. I think Vogelsong turns it around.
I don't need a serious answer because I already know what the answer is... you're chasing imaginary trends if you're suggesting playing Brandon Crawford for a 1-2 week period based on his .280 start to the season. Furthermore, you're making the suggestion under the false pretense of Crawford seeing significant time from the #2 spot in the lineup.
I say 'may be' based on what another poster said about where he batted last night and you read 'seeing significant playing time from the #2.'I don't need a serious answer because I already know what the answer is... you're chasing imaginary trends if you're suggesting playing Brandon Crawford for a 1-2 week period based on his .280 start to the season.

You're the one giving bad advice in here, and that -- to me-- is being a ####. Don't get mad at me for calling your bull#### out so the rest of these people don't take your advice seriously.
Even Ditka, who is well-documented in his distaste for me, seems to be coming around to my line of thinking on your posting. BVFWIH.
I don't even feel that strongly about it, just prefer Crawford. RnR fished and hooked me. Good on him. Clearly is his goal in life.I never would've imagined Stephen Drew vs. Brandon Crawford would spark such an intense debate.

Yeah, I thought it was just a nice little discussion about crappy SS's. Then #### got real.I don't even feel that strongly about it, just prefer Crawford. RnR fished and hooked me. Good on him.

Ditka did all the heavy lifting by actually entertaining your Crawford theory. He's the guy you're having the Drew vs. Crawford discussion with.I don't even feel that strongly about it, just prefer Crawford. RnR fished and hooked me. Good on him.

I would never sit Anderson in Oakland against anyone.
You call it entertaining, I call it dismantling.Ditka did all the heavy lifting by actually entertaining your Crawford theory. He's the guy you're having the Drew vs. Crawford discussion with. I just used it as an opportunity to point out how you are completely clueless while masquerading as some sort of fantasy baseball expert. If that's my goal in life, at least it will be for the betterment of the forum.I don't even feel that strongly about it, just prefer Crawford. RnR fished and hooked me. Good on him.

Good Call! Lilly must not be ready. Everything I've heard is that they weren't going to pitch him out of the pen when he's off the DL
Agree with DD, for the most part, but I'd probably swap Ethier and Dunn. I hate Ethier and any power Dunn provides will offset what he lacks in AVG.
True, but he was known for his glove moreso than his bat. This has been a very pleasant surprise so far. Ride him until he goes cold.
If I had to pick up two I am going with Evan Gattis and Bailey but it depends really on what you need etc. Do you need a catcher? Do you need a RP or does a SP fit more? I think Bailey could be poised to take over the closer job if Hanrahan has a few more bad outings.
picked him up for a dollar at the end of my nl only draft. I think he will eventually get traded this year, just hopefully not to an al team. there is just a log jam of players for the Cards blocking him. Even if Beltran/Holliday get hurt, I wonder if they will just call up Tavares instead of moving Craig full time to a corner spot.Adams has a ton of talent.
gattis and congrani
Without having any knowledge, I would seriously doubt that. As of right now, he's a really nice, dirt cheap insurance policy for a contender with some older players. I'm not sure how STL goes about things, but Allen Craig was 27 before he got everyday ABs and and the WS MVP was 28. Carpenter is 27 and is now finally getting that opportunity. Jon Jay was 26 before he got regular ABs, and is now looking to have his first 500 AB season at the age of 28. They don't mind letting good young players stay blocked for a long time. In fact, the evidence suggests they might prefer it. I'm an owner myself, but it appears that the 24 YO Adams might have a long time to wait with this franchise.
If these are just open spots that aren't of daily use, I'd grab and hold Adams. He'll hold the most value if there is an injury or a trade in the upcoming weeks.
I think its also important to point out they only have 1 hole on their roster at the moment, and that's shortstop. So unless someone is moving a quality shortstop, I don't see why they'd move Adams.
That's exactly why they would move him. We'll see what happens in the next few months, but I suspect the whispers of Tulo to Cards in the spring may be revisited in July if the Rockies are not in contention. Cards have a lot of attractive pieces right now and -- as you pointed out -- only one glaring hole on the roster.
Wishing by whom? It was not coming from the St. Louis media that I recall.
Just saw this on rotoworld:
Wishing by fanbases and writers. There's been no indication that the Rockies want to move Tulo and pretty sure the scouting reports of Rutledge at short were fairly negative. Also, Trevor Story is likely several years away from being ready. The Cards have the resources to get anyone that's on the market; it's just that there have been no indications that Tulo is on the market.
I think Cueto's next start was slated for Thursday the 18th.
