Roy Halladay Leaves Early with Sore Shoulder
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay left today’s game early against the Cardinals due to right shoulder soreness. Halladay lasted just two innings against the Red Birds, but managed to burn fantasy owners with four earned runs on a grand slam by Yadier Molina.

Rafael Dolis Loses Cubs Closer Job
The closer carousel continues to spin in Chicago as Rafael Dolis has been removed as the starting closer for the Cubs. Manager Dale Sveum removed the volatile Dolis after he allowed at least one run in five of his past six innings of work.
With an ERA approaching five and a save conversion percentage of just 67%, it makes sense for Sveum to try a new option at closer until Carlos...

Betting BIG against Grandpa Moyer
Record 24-30
Bank Account -168
Padres at Mets - Johan Santana dominated the hitless Pads yesterday and I expect the underrated R.A. Dickey to continue the dominance. Dickey is 4-0 with a 2.48 ERA in his last four starts. Edinson Volquez takes the hill for the Pads as the pitcher with the least amount of run support in the majors at 1.82 runs per game. Volquez is also 0-2 with...

Minor Accomplishments for Week 7
We’ve recently devoted a bit of time to the discussion college ballers, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to lead with this absurdly awesome catch from Derrick Salberg of Lower Columbia College. The context of the moment makes the grab even more unbelievable: two outs, bottom of the ninth, one runner on, LCC leading 4-2. If Salberg is available in your NWAACC...

OVER THE WALL
Indians CF robs Alex Rios of home run
Cleveland Indian center fielder Michael Brantley made the catch of the day on Saturday by robbing Alex Rios of a home run. Brantley made a leaping grab in the bottom of the first inning, taking away a two-run home run to dead center field.
Although the game turned out to be a 14-7 slugfest, Brantley’s amazing catch is one of the best catches of the young season.

Brandon League Loses Seattle Closer Job
Brandon League has lost his job as starting closer for Eric Wedge and the Seattle Mariners after blowing three of his last five save chances.
League converted 71% of his save opportunities over his nine year career with Seattle and Toronto, with a 3.74 ERA and 1.278 WHIP. One of the knocks against League as a closer has been is relatively light SO/9 rate of 6.6, which limit’...

2012 Fantasy Baseball AL-Only Waiver Wire, Week 8: Wil Myers Gunning For The Show
Wil Myers (credits below) It’s that point in the season again. Your fantasy team is becoming a little stagnant and you need to make a little push, but you can’t afford to make a trade. In AL or NL-Only leagues, the waiver wires are so thin that it’s nearly impossible to make a huge claim for a guy whose already in the majors and will make a big difference. That...

D’oh, Morrow Eventually Dies: The One Where I Mention David Bowie Nine Times
Also known as the Bond movie no one remembers, and the start you won’t soon forget. Speaking of bad movies, remember that movie starring David Bowie as an alien in search of water who falls to Earth. I think it was called “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” Brandon Morrow did his best David Bowie impression last night as he came crashing down to Earth, getting lit up...

The Bird Flits By
It could be said that Mark Fidrych had the briefest, most spectacular pitching career in the history of baseball. He was 21 when he made the roster of the Detroit Tigers in 1976. He did not make his first start until May 15th that year, and then only because the starting pitcher was out with the flu. Mark threw seven innings of 2 hit ball, winning the game 2-1. The baseball world...

Mike Moustakas Taken Out By Security Guard
Kansas City Royal third baseman Mike Moustakas received a rude surprise while running down a foul ball at Oriole Park on Friday, as a Baltimore security guard bumped into Moustakas while attempting to get out of the way.
I remains to be seen if Moustakas or any Royal player could have gotten to the ball, however, there is no doubt that the reaction by the Royal color commentator...

2012 Two Start Pitchers – Week 9
There is one two-start pitcher spot up for grabs in week nine with Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Marco Estrada going on the disabled list. The team has the option of moving relief pitcher Manny Parra into the rotation, but that solution has not worked well in previous years with Parra as a starter. The other alternative would be to promote a pitcher from Triple-A, such as Wily...

2012 Fantasy Baseball Two Start Pitchers, Week 9
Oh, the Memorial Day weekend is here, subtle rejoice. It is officially the start to the season of way too tight Affliction t-shirts that are monikered in glitter and shirts that are sold in the three-pack variety. What could be better than that, I’ll tell you what. A horse drawn fruit cart. Like back in the old days. I mean, who doesn’t like daily fresh produce...

Carlos Santana Leaves with Head Injury
Cleveland Indian catcher Carlos Santana left Friday night’s game in the eighth inning after taking a foul all off his face mask. Santana was clearly shaken up after getting hit in the face by a ball of the bat of Alex Rios, and was replaced by Lou Marson.
The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, however, we assume that the Indians training staff put Santana through...

Ramon Hernandez Placed on DL. Wilin Rosario Becomes Starting Rockies Catcher
The Rockies have placed Ramon Hernandez on the 15-day DL with a hand strain, opening the door for power hitting Wilin Rosario to take over the daily catching duties in Colorado.
Rosario has six home runs in just 78 plate appearances in 2012, making him an interesting waiver ad for owners looking for some cheap power from the catcher position. It is important to note that Rosario...

Take Roy With A Grain O’ Swalt
I almost made Tim Lincecum today’s Buy. His FIP really isn’t bad. He just always seems to have one bad inning. His numbers with men in scoring position: .346/.471/.547 vs. .243/.313/.379 with none on. But I’m not going to tell you to Buy Lincecum. I’m not sticking my neck out for him! He smokes marijuana! Now, Roy Oswalt I can get lukewarm about! ...

Fantasy Baseball Player Profile: Felipe Paulino
With a 12-32 record and 5.02 ERA in five Major League seasons, Felipe Paulino has done very little to establish himself as a viable Fantasy Baseball starting pitcher. Opposing teams are hitting a robust .284 against the 6’2”, 270 Santo Domingo native, and Paulio’s 3.7 BB/9 rate and 1.509 WHIP suggest that the majority of his innings are filled with traffic on the base paths...
