markakis has been pretty unlucky so far. Only 1/5 of the balls he puts in play are going for hits. League average is much higher. Thinks will even out for him. I'd wait a little longer

Was hoping to add maybe another closer or starter...my pitching is real weak...and you can see I got Yankee happy with my offensive lineup.  Poor judgment on my part.

Markakis has sucked for years. Every year people keep thinking something different is going to happen. This is what he is. A player i would never own.

How's it going ManRam?  Who do you suggest I drop for Markakis?  I'm not sure at this point what helps my team, I'm in 4th place right now, I have holes everywhere on my team.  I only drafted Markakis hoping he'd bounce back this year with a better lineup after the O's picked up old ass Lee and Vladdy.

Your pitching staff is pretty damn good with the starters if you ask me. 2 closers are not going to win you saves week from week so i would drop Swisher and Markakis for League and Gregg. You can always dig back into the free agent pool and get someone equal to Markakis and Swisher if something else comes about.

nick mark is batting in the 2 hole. that means his numbers could resemble 17hr 69rbi by years end.

upside is 18hr 77rbi 16 sb
