@Steve: That is the worst pedophile stache since Luis Polonia.

So was it cracks about his resemblance to Private Pyle that led Nick the Stick to grow that mad crazy ’stache?

@Herb Urban: Actually I picked up Crosby to replace Tulo in one league, so I hope their hitting continues. BTW, Rob Deer's in a meth clinic until '09. It's a voluntary clinic but he lost his keys and he's too lazy to look for a few months.

Make way for the first big Jack Cust power outburst of 2008. 4 for 4 tonight with his second jack. The BA is over the Mendoza Line for the first time since The Mitchell Report called his whiz into question. His OBP stands at a gaudy .422 and everyone in the A’s lineup is hitting. What is up with that?

I say Rob Deer hits 3 HR this weekend against Texas on his way to a huge May. By June it’s back to the interstate, hitching and doing favors for truckers who give him a lift. Just Sayin’.

@barret: I think you should grab Laffey if you need pitching. He's got great ground ball rate and a good K/BB ratio. Plus he's super young, so maybe you'll catch lightning in the bottle. Most people I would steer towards Wlad, but if you need a pitcher, he could be decent for AL-Only.

AL-Only league I’m trying to rank my pick-up options (after Clement) for this coming Monday…

What do you think about Laffey’s outlook for the season? I could really use a good SP and thought he might end up pitching himself into a regular job.

I’m debating between him and Wlad.

Not so fast on Wlady. 3 K’s today. He was whiffing at those outside breaking balls again (yeah, the ones that that report said he stopped swinging at). He should settle down, but don’t expect anything better than a .250 average. (i’m thinking .240 or less though)

BTW, this is a good resource for Wladdy:

@chris: Yup. @JR: I dropped Milledge three days into the season for The Big FraGu and haven't looked back once. @Hank: It's not an ivory tower, it's sepia-toned.
