Anyone picking up Mets/Cards for sunday?

Which furcal is this you are referring to? Rafael Furcal is on the dodgers I believe.

Picked up Glavine to replace Rogers - was surprised he was available as I remember him being drafted.

but I have no plans on keeping Alou past sunday night.

So you're going to use Alou for 3 at-bats vs Carpenter and then drop him?

[Amazinz]

I think Alou will have more than 2 AB unless there is an injury or something. Anyway, I'm not really sure what you mean by this thread lol. If you're just spot starting because it's the first day of the season than I'm not sure it's that great of an idea.

sounds like a good idea with no games limit and some roster flexibility

some people might consider it kind of cheap though.

I don't really get the thought behind this to be honest. Do you grab a bunch of guys on a Monday or Thursday when there aren't a lot of games? Not really worth it to grab guys that no one even wants just to get 3 at bats...there's a reason they're on the WW.

if i was going all out to win, yeah i would try to fill in people on off days. who wouldn't do that? the benefit in counting stats vastly outweighs a possible slight BA hit. if you have the flexibility, why not do it.

the thing is though, if the league you're playing in isn't really hardcore, starting the season off by doing this, might not be in your best interest.

kind of like the reasoning in poker, that if you're playing at a weak table and people are just having fun, you don't want to sit there thinking over every decisions as it will just serve to elevate the play of your opponents.
