Sorry for the delay.

I don't see MizzouRah online so If you make your pick before he does, I can change it up. Again, particularly on the weekends, I try to be lenient. But I do have to keep things moving. We just passed the halfway point yesterday

Morales has been on my mind for a while, but I'm worried about playing time for him. If he regains form, I'm sure he'll find plenty of ABs though.

Baker was another one of the pitchers I was looking at. Great stats, but is he healthy?

SI

samifan24 · 03-19-2012, 12:08 PM

17.3 OF Dexter Fowler, COL

Funny I set up email alerts for PMS but I didn't receive one this morning.

Also, Baker's elbow scares me.

sterlingice · 03-19-2012, 12:39 PM

Maybe I should have added him to my All-DL team I'm building.

Speaking of injuries, I still need a C and this is the last one I'm even remotely comfortable with that's on the board now that Ramos and Martin just disappeared:

17.4 C Ryan Doumit, MIN

There's a chance he can even stay healthy if he DH's a lot of the time and he gives some free counting stats while helping out the rate stats a hair.

His fastball is still down about 1mph but his location is back on track and it's spring so his FB should regain a little punch by the time we hit the season.

Thanks for jinxing his elbow SI.

sterlingice · 03-19-2012, 12:45 PM

D'oh.

Yeah, unfortunately it makes me think of a passage from one of the best Poz articles ever:
"BUT then that familiar pattern emerged one more time. Meche struggled badly his next start. And he struggled badly again his next time out. His velocity was down. He felt lousy on the mound. The Royals said he had a bit of “dead arm,” which I’m pretty sure is not a modern medical term. To be blunt, that sounds like something John McGraw would have said. You had to wonder if the Royals planned to treat the “dead arm” with leeches and by drowning a witch."
