Roy Halladay has got a lot to complain about. He has now gone the distance in four consecutive starts,
and his record during this time? 1-3. Granted, they weren’t your traditional complete games (he gave up four runs in one, and five in another), but when your pitcher goes all the way, you gotta score enough runs to get…

There were only a handlful of games last night, and one was rained out so not a ton to report on.
The shoulder injury to Yankees catcher Jorge Posada now looks like it is worse than was originally feared. After trying to tough it out for a week Posada finally hit the DL on Monday. Worse news than that is that is he scheduled to meet with Dr James…

Colby Rasmus
The thought was the Cardinals moved Jim Edmonds to San Diego to give the starting job to Rasmus, but with their glut of outfield talent, they were able to send him back to Memphis for some more seasoning. He is certainly still in the future at Busch, and has the potential to be 30/30 someday. When he comes…

It looks like Erick Aybar has taken over as the everyday shortstop for the Anaheim Angels. Aybar has been starting every game for at least a week now, and his stats show that he is making the most of the opportunity. He is batting .333 with nine RBI and has stolen four steals. Aybar has the potential to steal 40+ bases if he continues to have an everyday job.
Max Scherzer, Arizona Diamondbacks
Scherzer was called up to the big leagues today, although it is not certain in what capacity he will serve. He might get a start if Micah Owings’ injured ankle makes him unable to go, but nothing has been announced yet. If Scherzer has a spot in the Arizona rotation, grab him up.
After writing the two start pitchers article, that really leaves me very little time, so we are just going to have a quick Beyond the Boxscore. Please leave me feedback if the two start thing is useful to you, if not I won’t do it every week and will stick to what I’ve been doing up to this point. Now, to the news
Highly suggested by Fighting Chance, Royals rookie…

Welcome back Salty! After being inexplicably sent down to AAA to start the season, Jarrod
Saltalamacchia is back with the Rangers. Starter Gerald Laird is still in Texas so this doesn’t necessarily mean that Salty will take the full time catching duties. He will most likely catch once or twice a week, DH some, and maybe grab some starts…

The top story of the day I guess is the change in the bullpen in Colorado. It was made official today that
Brian Fuentes would be reinstated as Rockies closer, so all of you with Manny Corpas on your roster had better act fast (I already did). We covered in our article yesterday Corpas’ recent struggles, and they appeared…

couple of aging closers are really dealing so far in 2008. In New York, Mets’ closer Billy Wagner has been completely dominant. Not only has Wagner not given up a run yet in his eight appearances, but Wagner is yet to give up a hit! He does only have four saves and six Ks, but Billy has been dealing every time out for Manager Willie Randolph, whether it has…
