Fantasy Baseball: Day-Early Derrek
Not a good day for a lot of fantasy teams today. Derrek Lee will be out 8-10 weeks for high-fiving a baserunning Raphael Furcal waaaay too hard yesterday (and a day early, I might add), Ryan Madson gave up 9 ER in 1 inning of work (he's not widely owned, but was a sleeper for many in the Phillies rotation), Scott Kazmir left the game early due to "tightness" in the 6th inning, and Chris Shelton hasn't hit a home run in over 48 hours.
But I'd rather light a candle than curse your darkness. Here are today's highlights:
- Michael Young is quietly doing what he does best - getting on-base and scoring runs.
- Francisco Rodriquez pitched a 4 out save, quelling some of the rumors he might be hurt. (But folks, seriously try to get Shields on your roster to back him up. K-Rod's held off Dr. Andrews for much longer than he should have with that funky delivery.)
- Brian Roberts is stealing bases like they're last year's HRs.
- Jonny Gomes is all grows up. (2 dingers, for a season total of 7. The kid's good.) (Aside: Did Jhohhnhy Pherhalhta steal Jonny's "h"?)
- Kaz Matsui hit an inside-the-park HR.

yo this isnt realted to your blog entry, but i just wanted to vent to you about this. in one league im in, its friends and such... but they just seem to eager to trade for no reason, and have completely skewed conceptions of when to give up on a high draft pick/ make a lopsided trade.... so check it, a week ago, this guy drops Jorge Cantu (!!!) for Freddy Sanchez! everyone complains, one person says people should be able to drop anyone they want (to this i say bullshit, idiocy like this should be prevented)... and thankfully the commish picks up cantu and trades him back to the guy for sanchez... all is right with the world, right? wrong... now he's going to part with his 9th round pick matt holliday for SANCHEZ AGAIN! you would think someone would have the brains to realize, gee, maybe i can just wait til he DROPS sanchez ya know? and i just can't stand people acting like its alright to give up on their early draft picks so soon, or just have a completely lackadaisical attitude towards draftpickbasedvalue! especially for a player who was just PICKED UP FOR FREE ya know?
