Lee is tearing the league up!

Wilson is beasting with no ERA and 22 SVs

Yeah he is man. He hasn't allowed many guys on base and hopefully he is a lock-in for the ASG.

EUGENIO!!!!!! NO! Quick suggestion: Andy Marte (not sure how big he is in game) is pretty big and might be slow for 2nd base.

I was mad that Eugenio went down, but it's only for 3 games. Marte is 6'1, 190 lbs with a 68 speed in the game. Not sure if I should put him there or if I should put Burriss in there. Marte has a lot of pop in his bat, but Burriss has a lot of speed.

Brian Wilson is just a stud. Cainer is too, an ERA under 2 is insane

Haha. Yep.

Lee is tearing the league up!

Yeah he is. I'm hoping he doesn't get the Triple Crown, though.

[TheSanchize]

Is there a reason behind your hoping that?
Or just because it would be pretty unrealistic?

No reason behind it. I just don't want him to get it. Haha.

Wooo go K-Rod

[Mit]

Is Matt Downs in your game? He has decent pop and decent speed so he's kind of a mix. Burriss would be my second choice. You could also make a trade for Freddy Sanchez

Yep. Downs is in my game. He's in AAA right now, but he's got a fair amount of contact and some good speed. Burriss is a better contact hitter and has better range, but hitting wise, I haven't had much success with him. I'm going to call up Downs and see how well he does in the next three games. And as of now, I don't plan on trading for Sanchez. I might, but doesn't look like I will.
