McCann To DL
We will definitely miss his bat. Hopefully Ross will do what he has been doing at the plate. The only question is, who will bat fourth? My vote is Frenchy.

Lots to discuss on today's show and of course the blog. Terrible news about Brian McCann. Like they say you can't hit what you can't see so let's hope the redo of the Lasik gets him back on track.

Eric Mack's weekly Pitching Planner for Week 4. Tristan H. Cockcroft highlights Jordan Zimmermann's hot start in today's Out of the Box. As promised, Adam Madison's Daily Notes appears again.

The Links are coming out earlier than normal today since I'll again be at the Phillies game tonight, but you can catch Pitch or Ditch for Tuesday at fantasy411.mlblogs.com. I'll also ...
