Bullpen Ruins A Sure Fire Win
This is one thing I see so often but cant stand it when it happens to one of my starters! So I had CC Sabathia last night rolling along throws 7 innings of 2 hit ball and leaves the game with a 4-0 lead. He hands it over to the bullpen only to see himself get a no decision. It especially stinks because the league I have him in has a Games Started maximum. So it pretty much feels like a waste of a start, outside of a nice WHIP and 0 ERA it doesnt do much good. Im confident this wont happen too often as Rafael Soriano is usually pretty solid, but only time will tell. On another note, I just read that Adam Dunn had an appendectomy last night and is out for a little while. Injuries are starting to pile up and we're only 4 games in!!!

The injury bug bites already
So at my draft in a 7 team league I get pick #6. Now the last few years I have watched Ryan Braun closely and seen the kind of numbers he has been putting up. He doesnt seem to be slowing down and I really wanted to get him this year. Not knowing if he'd be there at #6 I held my breath until it got to me. He was still available, but could I pull the trigger on it? I thought to myself there is a ton of depth at the OF position, so maybe I should grab a 2B (Cano) maybe a 3B (Longoria) because theres not much depth there. So after debating I took Evan Longoria, who I also had last year. Well that backfired big time as I saw him get pulled early in the 2nd game of the season, and now read that hes out for at least 3-4 weeks with an oblique injury. Guess I should have gone with my first instinct. And now im struggling to find some sort of 3B replacement for the short term (and i stress hopefully short term).

Welcome to my new blog, this is a place where anyone and everyone can vent/rant/rave about their fantasy teams and players and who's performing well, whos perfoming horrible and so on and so forth. Often I find myself analyzing my teams and looking for advice on who to add/drop/trade. I figured what better way than to have an open forum for people to share their ideas with each other.
