As I announced yesterday after inferring things from elsewhere, it’s official.  Anthony Rizzo will be in tonight’s lineup vs. the Mets.  I’d continue to paint the walls of your brain with more praise, but I think we’ve heard enough.  If I effuse anymore, you Rizzo owners aren’t going to be able to get into your pants anymore.  Let’s look at reality for a second, last year he hit 1 homer and .141 in 49 games and 128 ABs.  I didn’t make those numbers up.  I seriously just looked them up on the Al Gore-invented Internet.  One homer, .141 average.  That sounds downright Zimmermanian.  Sure, it was in Petco (for his home games), and the only one that likes to hit there is Tony Gwynn and he’s hitting the buffet.  Is it totally outta the realm of possibility that Anthony falls flatso?  Noppers.  Right now, Rizzo might be at the height of his value.  Say you have Konerko, Middlebrooks and really no room for Rizzo, except by clogging up your Utility spot.  I wouldn’t hold onto Rizzo waiting for his value to possibly drop out.  It might take alligator blood to trade Rizzo right now, but to the bold go the fantasy spoils, or whatever that cliche is.   This is not to say I think he will Triple Lindy back into Triple-A, but it’s out there as a possibility.  You didn’t just back up into Miguel Cabrera off of waivers.  Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:

Travis Wood – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks.  You know something the media hasn’t covered much?  What a great year it is for pitchers with double entendre last names.  We haven’t seen anything like this since The Big Unit tried a backdoor cutter.  Wood has a K:BB 35:20 in 48 1/3 IP.  That’s fine for NL-Only leagues, but I’d be careful letting Wood poke around my mixed league team.
