greasywheels121 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Kerry Wood started his rehab here in Fort Wayne yesterday afternoon to become a reliever. He faced 4 batters, striking out 2, and allowing a base-hit in 22 pitches of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Zach Duke moved to 4-0 today with 8.1 IP of 1 R ball. That outing raised his ERA. In 6 starts he has a 0.92 ERA with a 4-0 record....and he's only 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that he's done since then: 3 Wins 25 IP 1 ER I needed another killer SP to go along with Pedro Martinez and Chris Carpenter. I hope that he keeps this up.

The Pirates really have the making of a good stud young rotation next season if things play out. They really need another power hitter besides Jason Bay though, big time.

ESPN's Fantasy Baseball page usually has an article called the Closer Report that will list and rank all the closers (and some elite setup men and the probable replacement).

Balta1701 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 CNNSI lets you sort pitching stats by number of save opportunities. It's not perfect and you can't sort by a 2nd stat after that, but in most cases the regular closers float to the top quite rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Felix Hernandez is currently pitching in Detroit. The game is not being televised on MLB Extra Innings for Comcast Digital Cable and on MLB.tv they're showing the Tiger's broadcast with a s***ty view. The Tiger's broadcast is f***ed up so they're giving you that high above the backstop spring training type view. So they're trying to keep me from seeing King Felix pitch, bastards. Hernandez is having early control problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 John Patterson pitched a CG 4 hit shoutout against the Dodgers last night with 13 strikeouts and zero walks. His WHIP ratio now stands at 1.08 on the season, which is good enough for Top 10 in the majors. This guy has been insane. I was lucky in July, as I added both Patterson and Zach Duke to my soxtalk fantasy squad while letting go of CC Sabathia and Brandon Webb. :puke What happened to CC? He absolutely, positively sucks these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although...something still strikes me as odd about the whole thing...taking a guy who was our shortstop, starting the season with him at 3rd base, and moving him to LF when he comes back off the DL...yeah.

santo=dorf Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Clark is having a monster year even after we all laughed at Rotoworld's "ewwwww" comment they made when it was being reported the Jays were looking to sign him to replace Delgado.

Kalapse Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 6, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) Don't look now but Derek Lee currently leads in 0 triple crown catagories. That's because Miguel Cabrera is 100X better hitter than he is and this year Andruw Jones is displaying more power than anyone had expected (got him late in my fantasy draft,he's paying dividends), not to mention the fact that Pujols is a better run producer than DLee and CLee is having an unbelievable power year in Milwaukee. DLee is a very good player but there was no way in hell he was going to win the Triple Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 09:06 AM) What happened to CC? He absolutely, positively sucks these days. C.C. Sabathia gets my vote for most overrated pitcher not named Kerry Wood, and I'm starting to think it's close (the gap between Wood's reputation and performance is probably higher, but he's also pitched like an ace for more than a month or two at a time). I know he can shut people down at times, but he looks absolutely lost a lot too. He's just like Wood: a thrower and not a pitcher, and without the strikeouts. He's only had one year with a good K-rate (his rookie year), one with wins (also his rookie year), and only one where I would say he had a solid ERA.
