I would like to start out tonight by just having a short remembrance of the over 2,000 people who lost their lives needlessly on this fateful day seven years ago. While we have gotten no answers or retribution for the worst act in American history, what we can do is always remember this day. I really felt bad that this morning was the first time I didn’t watch…

Albert Pujols
Pujols is considering having Tommy John, but is going to wait to decide until after the post-season. While the rehab would only be about 6-8 months as a positional player that still put spring training and some of the season in jeopardy. He admits that he doesn’t want to really wait for a couple more years so there is a strong possibility that he will get…

Carlos Quentin
Surprise surprise, it’s not the forearm it’s the wrist. This is just another reason why we cannot always believe what the team tells us regarding an injuries health. He’s going to have a screw inserted into the wrist in order to help facilitate healing. While I am not 100% suggesting this is the case, often surgical fixation is needed for scaphoid fractures. The scaphoid bone…

Chris Carpenter will be back with the Cardinals for the rest of the season, but this time he will come back as a reliever. Not only that, but don’t think he will be doing any closing for the Cards, he will just be a middle reliever. So, those who own him have a decision to make. Will he help you enough with Ks, ERA, and WHIP to…

Frank Thomas
Quad problems for very large DHs are not good. Especially one who has had several injuries in the past. Thomas has been transferred to the 60-Day DL, officially ending his season today. He still has the bat to be productive when healthy, but that’s the problem. He’s now (or maybe has been in for a while) in the group of Milton Bradley and Chipper Jones…

I can’t hide my allegiance anymore, Dustin Pedroia never ceases to amaze me. To quote the movie Rudy, he’s “5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing” and all he does is hit everything. Tonight he went 3-5, added his 43rd double, hit his 16th homerun, and knocked in 5 runs. Oh yeah, he did it all in the midst of…

Not only did the Reds find that they have some exciting young pitchers for the future in Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto, but they also found some good hitters to give them hope for the future, and a few of them have been hot lately. Joey Votto had seven hits over the weekend, and also drove in five runs as he has hit a little hot streak. The…

Chipper Jones
After my article on my site Fantasy Baseball Strategy described how many athletes hide injuries, Chipper is being reported to have several nagging injuries, including Quad, Hamstring, and elbow problems. He is an example of an athlete who at times may be too tough for his own good. Most likely his current elbow problem is related to all of his other problems and likely will not go…

Uh, oh Red Sox Nation! After Josh Beckett has had his start pushed back a couple of times, the worst possible news came down on Thursday. The three words that no fantasy player ever wants to hear…….Doctor James Andrews! Beckett’s next start was postponed again, and he will be going to see Dr. Andrews to evaluate his elbow. Stay tuned for the result of this visit…

Sorry for the delay. Double sessions on top of a real bad commute set me back big time and I couldn’t get an update. I apologize for that and I’m here for today’s instead.
Rick Ankiel
An abdominal strain/problem is just as bothersome for a hitter as it it for a pitcher. It effects your bat control and it effects your power. He’s being examined by other doctors and I’m sure they…
