I think his streak is over 30 innings now with no earned runs allowed. Frank Francisco actually has not allowed an earned run since mid August of last year.

He should help if so. Will be interesting to see how Baltimore treats Reimold. Anyway, all of those guys seem like good targets you mentioned. Matt – Did you get Soto? He should help if so.

His backup at 1B is Guillen. Another has a Bruce-Ibanez-Beltran outfield, with Derek Lee riding the pine and Longo at 3B. He definitely can spare some power. I also put in a waiver claim for Soto, will find out tommorrow if I get him. It's a deep league, why not give it a shot, ya know?

And heavy in steals. So that type of swap definitely makes sense. Since LaPorta is getting jerked around in the lineup, I might think about stashing Pierre instead if he's still available. That way you can really afford to trade a SB guy. Any specific offers on the table? Matt – It does look like your team is light in power. And heavy in steals.

I just took a quick look and found this piece on immigration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iir2ZQEEbLA&feature=related A lot of people have compared him to Bill Hicks, which isn't altogether unfair if not entirely accurate, but hey, I loved Bill Hicks, so it's not a bad parallel as far as I'm concerned. Just take a half hour on youtube or so, it's probably enough to know whether you'll like his act or not. PS: Jason Bartlett cannot be stopped!!!

He's been consistent for me, though, and helps with average. Then I recently dropped Pierre for Taveras. Thought Willy's a better long-term option.

Haven't really watched Galifiankis' stuff, but maybe I should. From what I've seen in small bits, he looks very funny in The Hangover. DDD, I'm afraid I punted HR's in my 16-team head-to-head league. Accepted a deal too good to pass up involving Carlos Pena, my best HR hitter. I have: C - John Baker 1B - Adam LaRoche 2B - Orlando Hudson SS- Jose Reyes 3B - Chipper Jones OF - Matt Holliday, Matt Kemp and Jacoby Ellsbury U - Willy Taveras BN - Matt LaPorta SP - Tim Lincecum, James Shields, Ervin Santana, Adam Wainwright, Joba Chamberlain, Tommy Hansen, Ricky Romero, John Smoltz and three spots for streaming (probably just for this week). Somehow I'm in sixth-place, but I don't see my offensive ever consistenly comepting in BA/OBP and HR/RBI. Thanks. I dig Patton Oswalt’s stuff.

It sucks that 'Dog Bites Man' wasn't made into a full-time series. And I loved his turn with Will Oldham (who I've been into since forever) in that Kanye West video, how the three of them got together is one of the great mysteries of this young century.
