guy in my league just did a dump deal and acquired him. Oops -
How long do these things typically last? He was the ace of my staff.Comment

Luebke and Beachy were my anchors this year.Comment

Just take it out, if Dickey does not need one neither does Beachy.Originally posted by JudeBaldo View PostComment

re UCLs:
"R.A. Dickey is 37, and has pitched his whole career without an ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow."
............
re Beachy, or Lynn, or McDonald or Miley, or any other young SP boldly trying to go where they've never gone before innings-wise - if you're trying to win a pennant, get reinforcements NOW if you have prospects to trade. Pitching does violent things to an arm, especially one not used to pitching a 200+-inning MLB pace.
Strongly consider dealing them and getting back high-priced or lame-duck guys like Cain, Greinke, Hamels, Wandy (if you keep AL stats), or Hanson (probably safe, but yeah).
I may do this with McDonald at 1, but I'm 27 pts back so is it too much to overcome?Last edited by Judge Jude; 06-19-2012, 06:18 AM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Traded Luebke, Beachy and Kimbrel for Morse and Bumgarner in a 5 player keeper a week before the season started and was kicking myself before the deal even went through completely. It doesn't look so bad right now though. Most likely end up keeping Bumgarner out of it all. Kimbrel is pitching studly though.Comment

going in for TJ.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

Knew it was coming since his last start ended early, but it still feels like a ton of bricks being dropped on me when i hear that it is now official. He was one of my sleepers in 2011 and i followed him all of last spring training with the hope that he would win a spot in the Braves rotation. When he did, i picked him up without hesitation and never looked back as he became one of the best young pitchers in the NL. One of the anchors of my rotation this year as a keeper that i planned on having for two more years at a bargain price. Now it looks like i'll have to cut him loose as my DL is full and he'll have practically no value in 2013.

It was a done deal once the tear was announced. Some pitchers try to rehab it without surgery, but that almost never works and just prolongs the recovery time.Originally posted by madducks View PostKnew it was coming since his last start ended early, but it still feels like a ton of bricks being dropped on me when i hear that it is now official.

This is almost exactly my thoughts. I felt connected to him because he was a gem I felt I found.Originally posted by madducks View PostKnew it was coming since his last start ended early, but it still feels like a ton of bricks being dropped on me when i hear that it is now official.

Almost never, true, but it did work out for Ervin Santana. I've thought he'd finish off that tear for years now, but it has held up.Originally posted by cavebird View PostComment

I did that with Tulo 2 weeks ago. Also included Dickey figuring I was selling as high as possible even at a $1 price (mid-depth league). Got Braun and Kershaw too but traded the best in my minors and $1 Dickey, $1 Hill, $1 Laroche, minors d'arnaud, middlebrooks, j.parkerOriginally posted by Moonlight J View Post
I won't keep:
Tulo, Braun, Kershaw
for
$1 Dickey, $1 Hill, $1 Laroche, minors (no salary) d'arnaud, middlebrooks, j.parker
12 tm, hard to swallow the talent loss when i've actually lost ground in the standings.Comment

Ervin Santana was exactly who I was thinking about when I said almost. He has shocked me.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment
