I have a new article that examines this very topic over at Fantasy Baseball Strategy and I found a few interesting differences.
Not quite as many injuries as everyone is starting to take a real look at their team and determine whether or not they’re going to go for it this year. We’re also nearing the point where any surgery will take up most of the second half and therefore if a new injury pops up and requires surgery, serious thoughts must be given as to whether or not to drop…

Felix Hernandez might be starting to live up to his nickname of King Felix. It is way to early to make that

A quick congratulations to the Red Sox Manny Ramirez who connected on the 500th home run of his career

The majority of the news tonight revolves around starting pitching, so let’s just get the hitting out of the way quickly.
