willy hasnt played today, is he injured?

[avsfan4ever33]

No, he just got the day off.

Willy hasn't hit this year, but Finley isn't doing anything to take him out of the lineup. But Hurdle loves to get those veteran players in twice a week - thank God he hasn't put Mabry in yet.

I just traded my Taveras and A. Gordon (non-keeper) for M. Ordonez. Not only is this trade pretty good on its face, but its going to free me of this Taveras PT unpredictability we've seen so far.

if willie is gonna steal 100, he needs to play more than 4 times a week!

he is my 4th outfielder and both times that he has gotten into my lineup he has sat.

i don't remember the deal, and i don't feel like looking it up, but I think the rockies gave up some scratch for willy t. PLAY HIM!!!!!

Is he worth holding on to? He is sitting on my bench for SB potential. Would Markakis be an improvement?

Markakis is available in your league? He's defienetly an improvement over Taveras - Willy is nice for steals and runs of course and perhaps average if he can start to hit, but homers and RBIs are few and far in between. If Markakis is available, grab him now!

Lukin - The Rockies traded Jason Jennings to Houston for Taveras, Jason Hirsh, and Taylor Buchholz if you were wondering.

leading off today

The only thing holding Willy back is the rule that a player can't steal first base.

[avsfan4ever33]

He actually hit a double today Off the top of the wall, nearly a home run.
