Looks like we could get a Melvin for Ubaldo deal...WhoooHoooo! Maybe the Pads get a prospect as well...although the O's organization is pretty bare, Preller likes to dive deep.

Originally posted by eldiablo505Man, is there any better example of a fantasy asset who's a total real baseball non-asset than Matt Kemp?

He was worth 0.4 wins last year despite hitting 23 HRs.
It's funny because you almost sound like Orel, who sounds like how many excuses can I make for the dodgers.............If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

I'm neither a Padres or Dodgers fan and i enjoy the lively banter between the two of you but..
Good Lord... in my lifetime the Dodgers have won exactly 2 World Series. Two...in 50 years... sorry ElD the Dodgers organization sucks. Not SD suckage, but still pretty pathetic.
And the Padres have been in the WS more recently than the Dodgers."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Originally posted by eldiablo505I certainly do wish that the Dodgers would win the World Series instead of merely going to the playoffs every year, but I'm also pretty certain that having an aging replacement-level player on a $100 million contract would not have changed that."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Again, we see this from two different perspectives and as a Dodger fan you really won't ever have the Padre perspective.
Is Kemp worth his contract? Not if you evaluate by WAR of other analytics. But to the casual fan, the casual PADRE fan, he has been far more valuable than Grandal.
I'll try to be specific when discussing real vs fantasy in the future.........If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

So with Cashner obviously heading out of San Diego the rotation going forward looks like this:
Perdomo
Rea
Jackson
Clemens
Freidrich
I understand some here have questioned why I have Perdomo rostered in multiple leagues, but I promise, the kid is someone you want to grab now at a buck or two and keep going into next season.
he's lowered his ERA every month and this month has a 3.45 ERA in 4 starts. His last start vs the Nats was solid.
Again, if you have roster room, take a flier on him. You might just be pleasantly surprised come end of the season.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostIf Ubaldo is really on the way, Clemens gets the boot. Ross isn't supposed to be back til mid/ate august if then and I would think the Padres go to a 6 man rotation at that point.Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
