@cubbies299: Wow, there's so many different types of players there. Davies if you need potential upside on pitching. Asdrubal if you need a backup at MI. Fields if you need a backup at Utility or 3rd. @Frank Rizzo: Did you have Pavano? Wow, what a start.

Chris Davis may be letting me down but not my Razztastic pitching. Matt Cain looked really, really good.

Freese/Josh Fields is also an option… sry (but freese isn’t really getting pt)

Hey, who you taking a flier on, Asdrubal Cabrera, Chris Duncan, Inge, Ohlendorf or Davies in the wake of his gem. I read somewhere that Inge has way better stats when he’s not behind the plate… dunno if that’s true. Asdrubal’s looking good cuz I have tulo and could use a backup. Plus, a 15/15’s possible I think??

re: Davis — It’s still early, but remember this guy K’d more than Dunn in the minors. (Without the walks.)

%BKK – i am the guy who picked up Dotel in the Latin 9. I noticed his strikeout ratio last year while looking up MR for a league of mine which counts holds. I now own him in several leagues. If anything happens to Jenks, he da man.

A final word about Sinker Pitchers. A Alog called No Doubt About it did a rather comprehensive study of sinker pitchers, and especially focused on Wang, as he has a rather strange set of statistical anomalies which, according to the authors, have not been duplicated successfully in the entire history of baseball. Observing 90 pitchers in the majors who have enough innings to qualify, Wang is 90th in strikeout rate, 25th in walk rate, 1st in home run rate, and 3rd in groundball percentage. And he won 20 games that year. He has a low BABIT, but that could be explained in that he throws almost nothing but sinkers, and gets a great deal of ground balls and double plays. For fantasy purposes he is ranked low, and should be, as his K and WHIP will always be high, due to his method of pitching. But whether or not his success can last a long time is doubtful, for the authors found no comparable long term success stories in the history of baseball who had a similar cluster of stats.

Do you think Alexei’s knee is bothering at the plate him from that gash he got a couple weeks back, he is something like 0/10?
Do think Ozzie’s mind games are negatively affecting his confidence at the plate?
Certainly, Ozzie’s pissing around with the lineup has back-fire huge. AJ and Getz – 0/8 combined today. Wise is 0/infinity. Not sure he has received an hit out of his top two spots in their first three games.
Meanwhile Alexei is lanquishing in the 8 spot. What a mess!

@p0rk burn: Panic, who me. I am just swirling here in the cesspool of the RCL fishing for a hit.
