+/- (Monday-ish Edition)

The Consummate Bastards
+Jonathan O. Sanchez, Max Scherzer, Jay Bruce
-Francisco Liriano, Billy Butler, Jeremy Hermida $10

TCB picks up the left-handed Daniel Cabrera, the National League Joba Chamberlain, and the minor-league...Cliff Floyd? (The 21 year-old version of Floyd, at least, one might hope.) Gone are O'Sanchez's former Giants minor-league teammate Francisco Liriano, Billy "The" Butler "Didn't Do It" and the young version of J.D. Drew. Interesting question...all things considered, injuries and potential among them, who would you rather have, a J.D. Drew or a Cliff Floyd?
Cliff Floyd: averages 109 games/season, .279/.359/.485 batting line, 16 HR, 11 SB (120 OPS+)
J.D. Drew: averages 110 games/season, .284/.390/.498 batting line, 17 HR, 8 SB (128 OPS+)

Manriques
+Daniel Cabrera
-Hong-Chih Kuo, $2

It's the right-handed Daniel Cabrera! Some sucker always falls for him every year, but never in time to actually capture his good outings. There's only so many suckers to go around, however, so it's likely that Hong-Chih Kuo and his disappearing 2-start week and status as a starter are never to appear in the DCBA again.

Slipstream Starlings
+Chad Qualls
-Carlos Gomez, $2

With the limited supply of quality closers, and the uncertainty that comes with waiting for them to actually get an opportunity only to see them blow it, set-up men make good investments. Example: Slipstream Starlings - Chad Qualls vs. Francisco Cordero. The "iDos Franciscos!" t-shirts order will have to be put on hold for now.
