What to do with Brad Lidge , per yahoo

RHP Brad Lidge's first rehab appearance was not encouraging. Pitching for high Class A Clearwater on Saturday night, Lidge gave up four runs on three hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning. He is rehabbing from offseason elbow surgery, and he suffered a setback during the last week of spring training, when he had a cortisone shot on his ailing right arm.

I'd dump him but the RP list is not all that encouraging and whomever I pick up could hurt me more than the idle Lidge.



Vic , sorry I didn't get back to you in a timely fashion regarding the trade proposal(you cancelled it anyway)

[Fman99]

I'm happy thus far -- I'm a little lean on power but I have good pitching and other hitting categories.

[metirish]

A good true middle reliever with good SO numbers would be worth picking up? , not that thee are nay out there.

[smg58]

In this deep of a league you can probably still find relievers who'll lower your ERA and WHIP, if nothing else. It wouldn't be the worst use of your last few roster spots. I recommend having a less itchy trigger finger with them than I generally practice myself, though.

[metirish]

I dropped by 20 points today...WTF Guss?

[Fman99]

Whomever bitched when I took out two hitting positions per roster... you can see even after that move that there is NO help on the wire, hitters-wise. I'm glad that I'm not trying to field still two more hitters every night.

I never before used the "Stat Tracker" thing , it's a great way to see real time scores for your team and league, especially when the mets are sucking.

Definitely. I had to pick up David Eckstein. I mean...eww.

[smg58]

Since Ike isn't listed among the eligible players yet, how is that going to work? I'm guessing he'll get listed tomorrow if he plays tonight? And then there will be the same two-day bidding period that normally comes with waivers?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I bid $2,000

[metirish]

I'm going go $19:95.

My season is circling the drain already.

[smg58]

So nobody likes Ike as much as I do?

I thought my bid of $201 was gonna get ridiculed.

[Ceetar]

On the flip side, I bet we could pick up Daniel murphy real cheap now..

[nymr83]

Vic you bastard I bid $100 on Freese

[Ceetar]

[bragging]

I had Edwin Jackson starting tonight.

[smg58]

Congrats on the ho-hitter.

Now if only we can get a Met to pitch one.

[metirish]

This is what I dislike about rotisserie leagues, you start out bad and you are done for the season, it's a fight to stay out of last place.

Agreed. It's especially rough in NL only, because try as I may, there just aren't very many 'diamonds' to find that haven't been snatched up.

[metirish]

Yeah , I've not enjoyed the NL at all...I picked up Willis to start against St. Louis.....desperate much?

[Vic Sage]

oh stop whinin', the lot `o youse.
we're all just 1 injury away from disaster in this league... much like real teams.
