roscoe

a guy i play with in several leagues added roscoe parrish for this weekend's game. this is in a twelve team league where we play 3 receivers. i feel like he just pulled this move out of nowhere, which seems to make little sense. it's impressive though, just because no one would really think of doing it. it's like when i made some trade for hunter pence early in the baseball season, and people in my league thought i was just throwing in the towel or something. i gave up greinke and hawpe, having picked hawpe up off of waivers. one guy was a little heated and posted a note to the entire league complaining that i was apparently giving up. hunter pence was ranked in the top 50 players going into the season; he never performed at that level, but this was too early to give up on that. i figured greinke was overachieving; he was, but not as much as i'd thought. hawpe really isn't that great in a 10 team league, and i just loved the power/speed/average of...hunter pence. a coworker in that league was annoyed but more taciturn on the subject of the trade. he just didn't understand the logic behind a trade involving three players he considered irrelevant. picking up roscoe parrish feels like that. it just doesn't seem like there's a reason to do it.
