      I think Adam Dunn is really going to like being a DH.

          No, but I do have Ryan Franklin to get the season off to a fantastic start...

            Imagine how much his season ERA of 30.00 will drop his next time out.

            He struck out 5 and walked one if you're looking for a silver lining.

              I had benched him for Michael Wuertz.

              Actually I went after Carrasco, and got FC as an after thought. Yahoo says he has been dropped by over 1900 teams today. go figure.

              Edit: Now over 4000.

                If that's based off of their 12-team mixed league format, one has to wonder why in the world 1900 teams even owned him in the first place? Are there that many dummies out there? (yes, that's a rhetorical question )

                  We are completing our reserve draft by e-mail (2 rounds every second day). Since period 1 is 11 days, we can reserve active players through until Monday night (last 2 rounds due). Carmona's owner will surely bench him retroactively, as will I with Bard.

                    My AL only draft is Monday. Protects are in and it is a no-reserves league. One guy has Carmona and Pavano. He's got a nice hole to climb out of!

                      Nice is not the work I would choose. One guy in my 16 team league said:
                      If Nelson Cruz continues his current home run pace (1 per AB), he is going to really hurt me in steals.
                      That is REALLY not nice. However, concerning the league I own Cruz in, I can sympathize.

                        this was the most ER allowed in a opening day start of 3 innings or less in the entire history of MLB, and the most ER allowed in any opening day start since 1949. Congrats!

                          Having Fausto Carmona on your team reminds me of one of my favorite movie lines: "In the immortal words of Socrates, I drank WHAT?"
