For real though but Coletti was right here. Kemp was not playing hard at all.

Does anyone know what the situation is with the Pirates closer role? Dotel hasn't been very good and Meek has looked good in middle relief and came in tonight with a clean 9th inning of work for the save. Any chance Meek keeps the job?

Meek in for the save?

I was surprised to see that. Meek is beasting this year.

I still think it's Dotel's, but if he keeps struggling, Meek or Hanrahan can be the closer.

You think Meek is worth a pickup in fantasy leagues?

[Hines]

He should be getting more innings. I'd pick him up, but don't kill me or anyone else if he only pitches a few games.

Also, what the **** is wrong with the Dodgers? I had them as a NL contender and they have looked like **** so far this season. Getting shut out by Brian ******* Burress?

I got Meek in my NL-only league pumped about it.

Well, he can't be worse than Dotel. Go for it.

David Freese with a 6 RBI game today. I like very much.

[Hines]

Just read that Dotel will remain the closer as he was only getting a day off last night.

John Buck with 3 homers, WTF?!

ok, I got offered a 6 for 1 trade in my 6 by 6 (extra categories are OBP and Quality Starts) keeper, I need help sorting out if I want to do it

I trade: Evan Longoria (I'd drop Matsui, Saito, Clayton Richard, Marlon Byrd [I have a bunch of injuries, was riding the hot streak], Jason Kubel)

I get: Chase Headley, BJ Upton, Ryan Howard, Ricky Nolasco, Tommy Hanson and Jon Rauch

my Lineup

C - Miguel Olivo (riding the hot streak, I realize he'll be an OBP sinkhole)
1B - Ryan Howard
2B - Gordon Beckham
3B - Chase Headley
SS - Jose Reyes
OF - Justin Upton
OF - BJ Upton
OF - Manny Ramirez
UTIL - Paul Konerko (until Tex starts hitting in the summer)

P - Cain, Wainwright, Christ Carpenter, Strasburg, Hanson Nolasco, Porcello (he's locked to the bench atm)
RP - Rauch, Soriano, Franklin

I don't want to deal Longo at all but, my team blows and I think this strengthens it. We keep 7 in our league if it matters

[Giantsfan1080]

Ryan Madson out 3 weeks with a broken toe. Must have kicked something after he blew the save.

Ugh. 31 more days until the Cubs bring Starlin Castro up. Sigh...

I'd do it because Chase Headley rules.
