Answer 3

that is pretty good. :)

Answer 4

Outstanding!!

Answer 5

yea its pretty good

Answer 6

yes to the first.

not really to the second.

Answer 7

I'm ify on the Bourn for Edmonds pick up but I like having DeRo on my teams he is eligible everywhere but C & SS

Answer 8

It depends on the scoring...Bourn will get you more steals but Edmonds has some pop

Answer 9

Edmonds has come alive.  I think part of fantasy success is having the courage to try to "capture lighning in a bottle."  I like the smell of four homers in as many days.

The risk is he's old.  He turned 38 today.  Happy Birthday Jim!

So, on paper I'm not crazy about Bourn for Edmonds, but I'm a risk-taker.

The second link has the "experts" at Rotoworld's take on Edmond's (and the Cubs') prospects for the balance of the season.

DeWitt for DeRosa seems DeLightful.  No brainer.

Answer 10

Yes, Edmonds is really starting to hit!! He is batting .357 in his last 10 games with 4 HR's. Also, DeRosa is a great player to have on your team, particularly because he can play a lot of different positions, so he is a great Utility guy to have. Blake DeWitt has been playing poorly lately, so that was a good move.

Answer 11

The first one, I would say yes. DeWitt wasn't supposed to be in the Majors this year.All of the Dodgers Third Basemen got hurt and they thrust DeWitt into starting. They just called up LaRoche so he will get less playing time. DeRosa is able to play many positions and puts up decent numbers, so I would recommend him.

The second one, yes also. Edmonds is on a tear with the Cubs, he is a good outfielder also with a lot of power. Bourn is a terror on the bases, but can't get on base  enough. If he could get a .300 OBP he could stel 70 bases
