10:48

Baller - Tiffanie

Would you trade pujols, granderson, and asdrubal for cano, goldshmidt, and hardy?

10:50

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

@Tiffanie - I would... cano and goldy are crazy good, may be the best 2 players in the deal right now

10:51

Baller - Tiffanie

would you go for that the other way though? I'd have to try to sell that trade to my friend

10:52

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

i prefer cano, goldshmidt, and hardy

10:52

Baller - Tiffanie

What if I switched Justin Upton with Granderson?

10:53

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

yea thats a good deal. but only if you have someone solid at 2b to replace cano

10:53

Baller - Tiffanie

thats something for my friend to worry about haha

10:55

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

ha... good luck

@Louise - none of those SS are great, id play the hot hands and rotate them

10:56

Baller - Mariano

10:57

Baller - Adrienne

who's Marco .... Scutaro?

10:58

Baller - Mariano

Yes scutaro

10:58

Baller - Tracie

@Mariano - pickup Donaldson. dont drop Konerko yet

@Tracie - yes i like that trade for you

10:59

Baller - Mariano

11:00

Baller - Tracie

11:00

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

11:02

Baller - Tracie

hm

11:02

Real Talk Raph - Ro..

Happy Saturday RotoBallers!

11:02

Baller - Mariano

If you wouldn't drop Konerko, would you drop a. Escobar, hunter or wells?

11:02

Real Talk Raph - Ro..

who is ready for a crazy weekend of baseball?

11:03

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

@Mariano - torii hunter, vernon wells, or alcedes escobar?

11:03

Baller - Elise

Im just hoping the braves dont get rained out, got tickets to the game

11:03

Baller - Mariano

Yes those three

11:03

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

whos ur other SS if u drop escobar?

11:03

Real Talk Raph - Ro..

yeah

they were set to torch Capuano tonight

wow

or should I say set to torch

game not called yet

11:04

Baller - Mariano

And I have Castro so escobar is a backup uo

11:04

Baller - Tracie

what about ernesto frieri and cc sabathia for matt kemp which side is better to get?

11:05

Baller - Elise

pretty ticked off, i missed grabbing laroche by a few hours, of course he then goes and hits 4 bombs in 3 days

11:05

Baller - Mariano

Since I have Castro is dropping a. Escobar Ok?

11:05

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

i would drop either Torii or Escobar

@Tracie - Kemp is better

huge upside, best player in deal

11:06

Baller - Tracie

I am trying to get Kemp but I dn't know what to give up to get him

I need OF hitting help

11:06

Real Talk Raph - Ro..

who is RotoBallin' out of control right now?!

I know I am....

setting lineups, watching games...

11:07

Baller - Elise

Im sad Cingrani got sent down, but it was obvious teams were figuring him out

11:11

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

yea its tough

he'll be back tho

11:12

Baller - Mariano

So dropping torii for scurtro if I have Rios, braun, trumbo, and wells as my other of?

Also since cingrani got sent down, should I drop him due to not knowing when he will be back if at all?

11:16

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

im not a cingrani owner, but if i were id hang tight for a few days in case one of the other reds pitchers gets injured or blown up

11:17

Baller - Sharon

What 3B value could i expect if i put harvey on market?

11:17

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

Harvey should only be traded for elite players at this point. hes the real deal

11:18

Baller - Mariano

Ok I have Detwiler... Should I drop him and if so for who? Santiago, santana, McAllister, chacin, Guthrie, De la Rosa, Kendrick, wood, Garcia, slowey

11:20

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

ervin santana or jaime garcia are best players there

11:20

Baller - Sharon

David Wright or Evan Longo type? Or are they too high for Harvey?

11:20

Baller - Mariano

Even after Garcia bad last stsrt

11:21

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

all SPs have bad starts time to time. look at bumgarner last night

11:22

Baller - Mariano

Why not wood or Kendrick? They seem unstoppable

11:22

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

@Sharon - if you could get longo or wright for harvey id strongly conider

11:22

Baller - Mariano

Even on bad teams.

11:23

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

yes - theyre great also. check our fantasy waiver wire piece for full waiver wire analysis: http://www.rotoballer.com/2013-fantasy-baseball-waiver-wire-daily-watch-list/

11:24

Baller - Sharon

How do you feel about b mccarthy today against marlins?

11:25

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

i like that matchup. marlins horrible, and mccarthy could be heating up

11:27

Baller - Collette

de aza on waivers... worth dropping mclouth, t. hunter or victorino for?

11:29

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

hunter has the least upside of them all. id def pickup de aza if he's on waivers

11:30

Baller - Collette

yeah, i'm thinking smart move could be to drop mclouth, but my heart can't do it:)

hunter is cooling off

cubs are absolutely smoking hefner here in the 4th

11:33

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

hang onto mclouth - more upside than torii

scott feldmand pitching solid for the cubs again today also

11:34

Baller - Collette

ok thanks Leo

11:34

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

good luck

11:35

Baller - Collette

and you think victorino > hunter even with recent health issues?

11:37

Baller - Mariano

Would you take feldman over Garcia, Kendrick, wood, or santana?

11:37

Baller - Collette

mariano - i wouldn't...

11:37

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

i like victorino's upside more, but its close

mariano - a lot of those guys are pitching well now - you can rotate or stream them based on matchups

11:39

Baller - Mariano

I wish I could.... It's a weekly league

11:40

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

send me a private chat with your entire roster, ill tell you who to drop

11:43

Baller - Mariano

I can't figure out how to on my phone for some reason. Can I tell you on here?

11:43

Baller - Collette

why can't you stream in a weekly?

11:44

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

sure list it out here mariano

11:45

Baller - Donald

daniel murphy or neil walker?

11:45Baller - Donald

daniel murphy or neil walker?

11:46Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

neil walker long term because of his power upside, but its close

11:46Baller - Mariano

Santana as c, Gonzalez as 1b,altuve, beltre, Castro, torii, braun, Rios, trumbo, Konerko, escobar as ss, v wells, gio, medlen, maholm, dempster, cingrani, Detwiler, mujica, Rodney and Corbin.

11:51Baller - Adrienne

okay ill take them one at a time. first move id make is drop detwiler for ervin santana

11:53

Baller - Mariano

Ok great... Anything else?

11:54

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

next id drop maholm for jamie garcia

11:55

Baller - Collette

i'm tired of espn public leagues -- what's out there that's better?

11:55

Baller - Mariano

Anything else uncle Leo?

11:55

Baller - Collette

is there a way to join a weekly league or something mid-season?

11:57

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

if nothing happens with cingrani after a few days, you can probably drop him at rotate Kendrick, wood, etc. Or pickup either, your teams looks solid, good luck

12:00

Baller - Mariano

Uncle Leo... Who would you drop to pickup Donaldson?

12:01

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

you can drop torii hunter for donaldson... solid move

12:02

Baller - Mariano

What about dropping escobar if I have cast?

Castro

12:02

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

SS is thin, id hang onto escobar unless you have a great waiver wire add

12:08

Uncle Leo - RotoBal..

arite guys... thanks for RotoBallin' with me. good luck with your leagues, and you can always hit us up on @RotoBaller with quick hit questions
