I usually like to wait a couple of months into the season to look at some of the catchers that couldn’t throw out your grandma even if she loses the tennis balls off her walker. (What is the deal with those tennis balls? Please, blog, may I have some more?

I’ve Fallen And Ike Can’t Get Up
June 23, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 78 Commentsby: Grey / Rudy
Sounds like Ike Davis is done for the year. He could be facing microfracture ankle surgery. Man, will the Mets ever catch a big break? First, Beltran had microfracture surgery on his knee, and now Davis. What’s with the Mets and tiny surgery? Please, blog, may I have some more?

Dellin Betances | RHP (SP) | New York Yankees | D>o.B: 3/23/1988 | 6’8″ | 245 lbs | B/T: R/R | Draft 8th rd, 2006 | NYY #3 ranked prospect per Baseball America 2011 | MiLB Player Page
The Yankees best pitching prospect has quietly been flying under the radar. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Jhoulys Chacin was walking more yesterday than my grandfather on a treadmill behind a hot number (his words). Yo-leash’s line 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners (6 walks), 7 Ks. Am I worried that Chacin isn’t going to have a sub-3 ERA all year? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Adam Lind – I meant to write about Lind a few weeks ago, but then he got hurt. Still, I’d be remiss if I went through this series without discussing the topsy-turvy career of the Blue Jays’ 2004 3rd round draft pick. Please, blog, may I have some more?
SAT Question: Albert Pujols is to a fractured forearm as Justin Morneau is to playing every day in 2011 and you can’t take him out of your lineup. Only thing worse for Cardinal fans is if Don Denkinger announced Pujols’s fractured forearm while wearing a Wilson Betemit jersey. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Master Standings are here.
Congratulations to the Pesky Pole Dancers (Trippin’ Baseballs), who are once again leading the pack. The Dancers shot up 5.5 points on Sunday to reclaim first place after dropping to 3rd last week. The team made 1 move this week, picking up Charlie Blackmon on Wednesday while dropping Omar Infante. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Pujols And His Owners Going Wristerical
June 20, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 226 Commentsby: Grey
Wilson Betemit collided with Albert Pujols and… Why is Wilson Betemit playing?! He never plays. Doesn’t your Quad-A Beer Pong Tournament partner, Shelley Duncan, need you for a tourney? Manzo! (Which is my new favorite exclamation that means nothing.) Another tough break (strain?) Please, blog, may I have some more?
Grey spent a few humorous lines on Friday’s Buy/Sell article recommending outfielder Justin Ruggiano of Tampa Bay. The only thing in the way of Desmond Jennings, is not Sam Fuld or Ruggiano, it’s the Rays avoidance having him acquire Super-Two status; such status is acquired if a player receives more than 128 to 140 days of service time in first year of service acquisition; essentially while they are a rookie.

Fantasy Baseball Two Start Starters, Week 12
June 18, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Two Start Pitchers | 29 Commentsby: Smokey
Welcome to week 12, please wipe your feet before you enter. For most leagues this week is the halfway point. Peripheral stats are darn near impossible to make up this late in the season, but the impossible is what fuels fantasy fires. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Don’t Get Caught With Hand-Hand in Cookie Jar-Jar
June 17, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell | 245 Commentsby: Grey
Jair Jurrjens has a xFIP of 3.64 and a K-rate of 5.23. Sounds like you should brave the trade winds with Jar-Jar. Or maybe I should say, “Wash that Jurrjens right outta your Jair!” Okay, breathe, Grey, you got puns, I get it. Please, blog, may I have some more?
JJ Having Last Laugh, Hardy-Har!
June 17, 2011 | Fantasy Baseball Daily Notes | 101 Commentsby: Grey
J.J. Hardy has been hotter than a Latin woman frying chorizo in the Sahara desert. Why she is in the Sahara is fodder for a J.J. Abrams movie. In 2008, Hardy hit 24 homers and .283 in his fourth big league season. Please, blog, may I have some more?
