But the real news is Estrada is no more.

Pedro Feliz to the Philadelphia Phillies: The Fantasy Impact
In an attempt to fill a big void at third base, the Phillies went out and signed the best third baseman on the market (that is, whatever was left of it). Feliz is a much better real player than he is fantasy player, but there is still value here. Feliz is a terrific defensive third baseman, and according to defensive analytical statistics, he was actually the best defensive third...

Catch Us If You Can
Y'know, I was about to be extraordinarily hindsightful and ask why we couldn't have kept Johnny Estrada around in case both our catchers were to be found grabbing their groins and such come mid-March, but I just checked and I see Johnny Blue Jeans is sitting with tendinitis, so maybe catcher is just ...

Estrada must go
With the pennant race on a ventilator (the doctors are attempting to contact next of kin) its time to start thinking about how to upgrade the team. The number one area that needs upgrading in my mind is position number two.Johnny Estrada is not the answer at catcher. His defense is lax -- he couldn't...

Baseball Musings: Alou Steals Home
Bonus points for those playing the streaking Alou in the playoffs. With Alou on third, Ray Durham tried to steal 2B. Johnny Estrada tried to nail him there while a frisky Alou came home. It wasn't exactly the same as Carl Crawford's steal from third earlier in the season, but it will look the same in the boxscore. It was Alou's second stolen base of the season. ...

Farewell, douchebag. Just as I specifically requested two and a half months ago, Paul Lo Duca is leaving Washington. Better late than never.
The Nats cut him yesterday, along with Felipe Lopez (Jennifer must stay, however) and Johnny Estrada, both of whom I have no problems with other than their inability to play baseball well. The [...]

Mets Fill Catching Vacancy In Deal With Brewers

Jesus Rises In Ohio
MLB.com sez that the Nats have signed Johnny Estrada to a 1-year, $1.25 million contract. The story claims (and it'd be my gut reaction too) that this has nothing to do with The Pusher's injury, but that it's their way of giving Flores more development time. As much as we love Jesus, that's probabl...
