[/quote]I'm not interested in trading Roberts unless I get an insane offer. If you're like me, you drafted him for his SBs and Runs; the HRs he's hitting right now are a lovely bonus.

Yeah, I'm watching the game right now as well. He walked, stole 2nd and got home on a Tejada single.(This should be happening most of the year) As he crossed home plate I started thinking what I could offer to get him. I won't do it b/c I'm an O's fan and would prob overpay, but if the right deal came along I would love to have this guy on my team.
I'm not sure when I should move willis, or if I should considering old boy Jack's statements about lettting his pitchers pitch full games and my league counts CG.

Totally agree this is the real Beckett we have been expecting.
I don't know, but Roberts seems like the guy everyone is going to sell high on, and be sorry. I mean, he'll probably hit 12-15 HR. 60 RBI. 100-110 R was pretty much given, and 30 steals too. He hit a lot of doubles last year, and they are turning into home runs. Even if he bats .280, thats about as good as Giles, and he has the chance to hit better than .280.

Not all doubles hitters turn into home run hitters. The 15 is a bit of a reach for him. I know how much he has already, but I would be surprised if he was to double that amount. There is not much evidence to support his continued power spike. Not a .300 ba, I might add. Plus let's recall that after the break last year, he only stole 4 bases.
