    It doesn't seem like others are very interested, so send me a PM. The league is run through a google site, where the commissioners keep our rosters up-to-date with a google spreadsheet, we communicate our transactions (pick ups, trades, call-ups, etc.) via group emails, and lastly we play the actual league online through yahoo. We do have openings every so often.

    Oh I see, that could get a little messy I suppose. I don't think PM's work here but if you enable your contact via email I can email you. LMK Thanks.

    He'll play every day. Luhnow wouldn't call up a top prospect to sit on the bench.

    Over the current starter and All-Star? He'll get to play but this is just an audition for a possible Sept. call up.

    Castro was banged up last week. Either could see time at DH. Of course that would mean less time for Wallace or Carter.

    Corporan could go to the 7 day DL for his concussion.

    to be fair - Elmore did see time as a catcher last night.

    Can Springer play catcher?

    Any ideas why Stassi got the callup rather than Perez in OKC?

    Perez could make nice trade bait...

    According to the Farmstros database, Erik Bedard is the only player who was born before 1980.

    I told you guys that I met Stassi when I went to the CC game back in July. He was really nice to my kids and just seemed like a great guy.

    I'm really excited to get to see him play tonight. He and Cosart are my personal favorites in the system.

    I got a text from my 13 year old around noon freaking out that Max was called up :)
