If Strasburg gets called up this week he'll make his debut against the Reds. Depending on when he gets the start he could end up facing Mike Leake who was drafted 7 spots after Strasburg or the spot that's open from Homer Bailey's injury. That spot was filled by a spot starter last time but the Reds could decide to call up Aroldis Chapman. Either scenario would be pretty juicy.

Strasburg is supposed to start in the Pirates series. I have tickets for the first game vs Reds when he was hopefully going to pitch but that doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Smart move if they do that. Let him dominate Pittsburgh's makeshift Triple A lineup and get the hype train rolling even harder.

Glad the Mets could salvage a game against the Brewers...gonna be really pissed if they can't take 2 out of 3 in San Diego though. Season is almost two months old and they have yet to win a road series.

Here's a little boredom game to pass the time: Let's say you are forced to execute one trade (no matter how lopsided) with each of your division rivals. The only catch is: the trade must be based on position as determined by the official team depth chart (ie: no trading your #4 starter for another team's ace, no swapping a random middle reliever for a closer, etc.). What moves would you makes?
For the Mets: -Phillies: Chase Utley for Luis Castillo Absolute no brainer here. Getting rid of Castillo's contract and getting an upgrade that is approximately 1,000 times better. Not much else to say. -Braves: Jason Heyward for Jeff Francoeur In fairness to Francoeur, he is ridiculous when on a hot streak. But that's just another reason to get rid of him, those streaks are so frustrating. Getting Heyward is the much better move both for now and for the future, plus it would be funny to send Francoeur back to Atlanta. Nationals: Willie Harris for Gary Matthews Jr. GMJ might be finding himself getting DFA'ed soon anyway, so may as well send him out for another reserve outfielder. It would be great to not have to have Willie Harris make a game-winning grab every single time against the Mets. Marlins: Jorge Sosa (or whoever is the Marlins' long reliever) for Oliver Perez I think Sosa is the long reliever for the Marlins, the depth chart doesn't make it clear. He sucked with the Mets before, but I don't care - this move is just to get the $24 million dollar longman Perez out and let somebody else deal with him. |

For the Red Sox:
Yankees: Phil Hughes for Tim Wakefield They're both the #5 starters according to Yahoo. The pair of Hughes and Buchholz in the rotations in the coming years would be incredible. ![]() Rays: Evan Longoria for Adrian Beltre Beltre is hitting great right now, but he'll retract back to his mean numbers pretty soon. Evan Longoria is poised to be one of the best hitters in MLB for a long time. Blue Jays: Alex Gonzalez for Marco Scutaro Really the only feasible trade I can think of. Getting better defense out of Gonzalez and a little more pop, but Scutaro has been pretty valuable to the Sox as well. Orioles: Nick Markakis for J.D. Drew I was really tempted to go for Matt Wieters instead, but I'd rather ditch Nancy Drew and keep Victor Martinez. |

Reds:
St Louis: Chris Carpenter for Aaron Harang. Harang is the ace in name only now but he was still the Opening Day starter. I might be tempted to do Yadier Molina for Ramon Hernandez. Or Wainwright for Cueto. And I would do all these before Pujols for Votto. Chicago: Starlin Castro for Orlando Cabrera. The Cubs have a lot of good players that I'd never want on my team. Gotta go with the SS of the future. Chose this over Mike Fontenot for Paul Janish. Milwaukee: Ryan Braun for Johnny Gomes. I'm assuming we can't trade the same guy twice or else this would easily be Gallardo for Harang. Pittsburgh: Andrew McCutcheon for Drew Stubbs. The only guy who's better than his Reds equivalent on the Bucs so this was easy. Houston: Matt Lindstrom for Francisco Cordero. God the Astros are terrible. Not a single guy that I would want to trade for. I'll just say Lindstrom as a cost cutting trade. |

Cardinals: Chris Carpenter for Carlos Zambrano
Duh. and Z is also the ace in name only. Reds: Mike Fontenot for Brandon Phillips. Love Brandon Phillips. Astros: Hunter Pence for Kosuke Fukudome Because there's really no other trade I'd want to make. Pittsburgh: Evan Meek for Bob Howry. Meek is a beast. Milwaukee: Ryan Braun for Alfonso Soriano You bet your ass I would. |

Rockies: Carlos Gonzalez for Gerardo Parra
Because according to Yahoo, Seth Smith is the starter. I'd trade Jackson for Gonzalez too. Dodgers: Jonathan Broxton for Chad Qualls No, I did not consider Ethier for Upton. Padres: Luke Gregerson for Esmerling Vasquez. Definitely thought about Mat Latos for Rodrigo Lopez. Giants: Jonathan Sanchez for Rodrigo Lopez That'll do. |

Yanks
Blue Jays - Adam Lind for (Insert Yankees DH) - Lind has a nice bat and is a true DH. His average is down this year but if he can still rock a .275/30/115 season his is a huge upgrade and makes the Yanks the best 1-9 in the MLB Rays - javier Vazquez for David Price - Do I need to explain more? Orioles - Nick Swisher for Nick Markakis - I love Swisher but markakis is a legit 5 tool all star. Imagine him hitting 2nd for the Yanks. Sox - Lester for Burnett - Lester is the best pitcher in the AL this season. Imagine a CC, Lester, Pettite, Price, Hughes rotation? Imagine a lineup like this Jeter Markakis Teix A Rod Cano Lind Posada/Cervilli Granderson Gardner |

Yeah I realize I'm a Tigers fan but I have Ubaldo on my fantasy team. A fantasy team that has keepers. A keeper league that allows you to keep them for however long you want. Basically I'm keeping him forever

Dude, I dont like the rockies but Ubaldo is fucking NASTy and amazing to watch. There is a long way to go, but this could be history and that is exciting.
Im super excited for the Reds. barry larkin was my favorite player not named Mattingly growing up and I have always enjoyed the Reds. So glad to see them doing well. |
