* The Red Sox have finally removed Dice-K from the rotation after another putrid start against the Atlanta Braves where he allowed 6 runs. Matsuzaka has a season ERA of 8.23 and WHIP of 2.20. He has single-handedly destroyed some fantasy pitching staffs, and it looks like the 100 million dollar import will be on the shelf for a while. Examine the starts of John Smoltz, and always remember Clay Bucholtz is always tearing it up in Triple A.
* One thing I love to watch is Andrew McCutchen run the bases. The lighting-quick centerfielder was promoted to the big club after the much dissected Nate McLouth trade. McCutchen has showed up with a bang, hitting .333 and posting a .904 OPS in his first 78 at-bats. Will this type of production last, of course not, but one promising sign is only 14 strikeouts in 82 plate appearances, meaning he putting the bat on the ball.
