Football draft. Check. Pre-season practices starting for work. Check. Me losing whatever sense I had left. Check. On to the injuries:
Alex tore his upper quad most likely the Rectus Femoris muscle. I say this because initially it was described as a groin injury by various places and then quickly switched to the quad tear once it was released. The only muscle of…

Tonight marked the 2008 debut of San Diego’s LF Chase Headley. Headley is a 3B naturally, but he was sent to the outfield to get him to the majors quicker. Headley has a decent amount of power, as he had 13 this season in the minors already. He doesn’t run, but should hit .275+ and could be a good addition to your team. If you have the room, pick…

Very short slate of games last night, not a whole lot to cover.
Bad news Yankee fans and Chien-Ming Wang owners, when the ace pitcher ran the bases in Houston the other day, it could be the last thing he does in pinstripes this year. Wang has a partially torn tendon in the foot and will be out until September, most likely for the season. Although he isn’t a big strikeout…

The biggest story tonight, was all the injuries to key fantasy contributers. Normally we end the post with this subject, but given tonight’s circumstances, let’s lead-off with that!
Bad news for Alfonso Soriano owners, he left tonight’s game after being struck in the hand by a Jeff Bennett pitch. X-Rays revealed Soriano broke his left index finger, it…

Reds’ rookie Johnny Cueto threw his fourth straight game in which he allowed three runs or less. A guy who made so much noise in the beginning of the fantasy season is now flying under the radar a bit I think. He was sent packing from a bunch of fantasy teams in early May, and if that is the case in your league, do you have anyone expendable? If…

A congratulations to Ryan is in order, who by the time he reads this, should be a father to a second beautiful baby girl (Good luck when they are teenagers!). So in the time he is away, I will try to fill his shoes with tonight’s Beyond the Boxscore.
Daisuke Matsuzaka left yesterday’s Redsox game at the start of the fifth inning. It was first believed to…

Two days after the best pitching prospect gets the call to the majors, the best hitting prospect will be hitting Cincinnati on Tuesday. Jay Bruce will be joining the Reds in time for their game on Tuesday. What else do I need to say? Bruce was hitting .363 with ten homers and eight steals for the Reds AAA affiliate. He is a must own in all formats and could…

Even when he loses, Brandon Webb is pretty damn good. Webb went seven innings, allowed just three
runs and struck out seven. His offense just didn’t show up tonight and his record fell to 9-1. Obviously, Webb is a must start every time out, and is getting to be a shoe in to start the All-Star Game for the…
