  • I apologize. Chien-Ming Wang is NOT ok
  • Take note that Manuel Corpas has taken over the closer role from Huston Street in Colorado
  • Asdrubal Cabrera went 10-for-20 against the Yanks this week, and owned in only seven percent of fantasy league. Plus he's the first guy in MLB history with the name Asdrubal.
  • Feel free to drop until they can prove their worth the roster spot: Jordan Schafer (11 K's last week), Carlos Guillen (4-for-21), Brian Giles (.148), Jason Varitek (Only if a better catcher is available, one that preferably will play over 125 games)
  • For all the people who drafted Matt Wieters, it has been announced that he will be moving up the majors sooner than what was previously believed. Look for him to land in BAL by the middle of May.
  • Keep an eye on Kyle Davies and Clayton Kershaw...Just sayin'
  • Ervin Santana, and John Lackey look to rejoin the Angels by mid May. If for some reason either is available, add whenever possible.
  • Dontrelle Willisthrew 62 pitches in a recent AAA Lakeland game...And landed 78% for strikes.
  • When asked when Daisuke Matsuzakawould return, Francona had the following to say: "I think the medical staff is still kind of sifting through that." Hmmmm....

 

Extra Innings

For those of you who aren't aware, Elijah Dukes was recently suspended for a game, threatened with demotion, and fined $500 by the Washington Nationals. For what? Being a mere five minutes late to the stadium on game day.

Normally, I would think this was a tad harsh, but Manny Acta is trying to get the club on track.

Then it was released that he was late because he was doing charity work FOR the Nationals. He spent the entire morning with the local little league team and ran into traffic. Is this organization a joke or what?

The funniest part? The day before this happened, Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman had incorrect jerseys put into their lockers that bore the name "NATINALS" on the front of their jersey. Ironic, huh?

Must Watch Fantasy Game of the Week 

On Friday night, Josh Johnson takes the hill for the fourth time for the Marlins, who currently hold the best record in baseball. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard look to hand JJ his second straight loss.
