Sorry, I'll be out the rest of the day and Eli has been hit and mostly miss, so I'll take James Loney.

A couple of guys have PMed asking me to pick for Eli, so if it please the court, SP Derek Lowe.

If this one continues, someone pick for me. I'll be out of pocket for at least the next day and maybe into Thursday. Thanks. I think Greg could use an OF with some RBI and AVG potential.



10-13- Milton Bradley





And an SP on thw way back??? Beckett and Kasmir are not looking so good... :D

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Wed Oct 15, 2008 12:28 pm

I could use a power-hitting outfielder, but I don't see any out there. I've done a poor job of keeping track of who is left, so I'll do my best:



3B Jorge Cantu at CI. Need some power and hopefully he can come close to 2008's numbers. Maybe SP next Todd. :D

Greg- you didn't like my Milton Bradley pick for you? :confused: I figured with Zimm and Morneau that you were good at the corners. :D
