Drafted Gonzalez? Dumb luck there, bro. I only have 10 of the original 27 I drafted, but I'm just three points behind the leader. Me and Dirt have the most moves of anyone on our league.
PS im first place in a ten team league

i have 81 pts

2nd has 69

But to answer the question they weren't platooning him... Just giving him some days off

Exactly.

From 5/29 through 7/3, they just gave him 9 out of 34 days off, all of which were days the Red Sox were facing a lefty starter, but they were not -- I repeat, NOT -- platooning him.

Whole site's fucky

Yeah. Since Saturday, I can't even visit tHoop from my iPhone or iPad because I get redirected to a "congratulations - you've won a $100 gift certificate to shop amongst poor people and drug addicts at Walmart" site.

Yup. That's some bullshit. And there's no "no thanks" option. On the other hand, according to those pop-ups I could have earned about $5,000 in amazon gift cards by now.

Yeah didn't realize those numbers... I just think he was slumping so they tried to give him a break... But looking through those numbers it looked like they were instead of giving him the time off. Granted he was struggling against lefties.

To bad to see the injuries to Kershaw and Strasburg. 4-6 weeks at this time of yr. is unlucky but still puts them back by Labor Day and the final month of season.

13 year anniversary of Alex Rodriguez performing CPR on a Red Sox season that was on the brink of collapse.

3rd base has been a black hole for the Sox ever since they let Beltre walk. They got a good season out of Youk, but they probably would have been better off keeping him at 1st and resigning Beltre.

Yeah, letting Beltre walk was a massive error.
