“ Be aware that there will be saves
available in the free-agent pool eventually…” Jason Grey, ESPN.com
The theme for week two of the fantasy season was the bullpen. Already in this young season we are seeing some bad pitching late in games. In the American League alone, Joe Borowski, Francisco Rodriguez, Jeremy Accardo, J.J. Putz and Huston Street have all been hurting or struggling to ...
I knew you didn't mean what you said
in those cease and desist orders. Jonathan Papelbon claims
he invented a new pitch, called a "slutter" which he struck out two Tampa Bay Devil Rays with last night en route to his 30th save of the season. The ...
Alternate strategy to 'never pay for saves' in
a snake draft...
The Seattle Mariners are mired in a six-game
losing streak that threatens to spoil all the good
feelings engendered by Mike Hargrove's departure from the dugout. An attempt to change their luck was definitely in order. Creativity wasn't, however. They went the tried-and-true route of team haircuts as a way to bolster spirit in the clubhouse and shake their losing mojo. Putz ...
J.J. Putz walked the leadoff batter in the
ninth, then got to 1-2 in the count on
Vernon Wells before the training staff jogged out to the mound. Putz appeared to slightly favor his elbow (he does, see update below). Brandon Morrow came on from the ...
Believe it or not, it's not Richie Sexson's
crappy BA. It was a collapse in the bullpen.
The Roundups are back in a new format.
Simply said, you'll find here all the things I
read, discover, think and analyze. I apologize in advance...

General Manager of Baseball Operations Bill Bavasi announced today

A precautionary MRI evealed that Putz has mild
costochondritis on his right side, an inflammation where cartilage
attaches to a rib. This is not your average injury and bears watching.
In a nail-biter of a game, Chicago Cubs
ace Carlos Zambrano left in the 7th after recording
two outs with what WGN Superstation is reporting as 'right shoulder discomfort'. In other words, 'bad news'. Unfortunately I did not get to see the injury ...
Following on the heels of Josh Beckett's Starter
of the Year win, teammate Jonathan Papelbon notches a
win as 2007's Closer of the Year-- with an overwhelming 38.1% of the vote. Second place honors went to Bobby Jenks, third place to J.J. Putz and fourth to Takashi Saito.
Rounding up all the latest Red Sox news
and notes in one post. Who's the better closer
- Jonathan Papelbon or J.J. Putz? ESPN's Jerry Crasnick gives the edge to Papelbon , and dubs him "baseball's answer to Napoleon Dynamite". Sean Deveney of the Sporting News thinks that after a spectacular 2007, things can only go downhill for Jacoby Ellsbury . Jacoby doesn't sound worried- and his mom
A daily look at all baseball transactions, with

That's the initial word we've received from the
Mariners after J.J. Putz underwent a magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) exam on his right elbow today under the supervision of team medical director Dr. Edward Khalfayan. A hyperextended elbow. It caused ...

A breakfast excursion last week in Kansas City
by members of the Mariners bullpen led to J.J.
Putz having his first senior moment. Putz was still absorbing the news of his All-Star Game selection and being named the American League's Pitcher of the ...
There’s a lot of speculation here in the
Great Gray North about J.J. Putz’s chances of winning
a Cy Young Award. I mean, the guy’s got an ERA under 1.00, is 28 for 28 in save opportunities, and has allowed just 25 base runners in 45 innings. He ...
Saves give us all headaches. It is by
far the most volatile category in traditional 4×4 or
5×5 rotisserie, yet it cannot be ignored. As I mentioned last year, show me the champion of a competitive league who punted saves. I would be interested to see how the players they chose over closers in their draft made up those eight or nine points lost from punting saves.
