Odds And Ends: Neshek, Gallardo, Casanova, Henn, Haynes

Posted 5/10/2008 on MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Couple of injuries, couple of designations, and a waiver claim. Twins reliever Pat Neshek has an acute partial tear of the UCL . Yes, that's the Tommy John ligament. He won't throw for at least three months, so his season is essentially over. There's no word on whether he'll undergo surgery. I remember hearing over the winter that Neshek was having elbow problems. Not that we didn't ...

Not Our Best Week

Posted 5/9/2008 on Chuckie Hacks

It was just about a week ago that we learned that Yovani Gallardo tore his ACL. The Brewers were just coming off of an inspired series victory over the Cubs at Wrigley with a 9th inning comeback. They had just finally shed themselves of Turnbow and his 15 ERA by designating him for assignment. Things were looking pretty OK. In the 6 games since the announcement of the Gallardo injury? We all

Is It Still Early for the Cardinals and Brewers?

Posted 5/5/2008 on FanHouse

In general, most baseball fans respond to the early-season unexpected in the same way: with a shrug and an, "it's early." That's fine to an extent, but when does that stop? I'm asking, particularly in regards to the NL Central where the Cardinals sit up top with a 20-12 record and the Brewers sit at 16-15, almost as close to the 12-19 Pirates as the division leading Cards. Clearly, anything ...

Gallardo Done, Rich Hill Gets Ankielitis

Posted 5/5/2008 on Fantasy Baseball Blog at Razzball

Usually a pitcher’s third season in the bigs is the year they truly break out. Another factor to look for is their BB/9, is it trending downwards? Another factor, is K/9 trending upwards? WHIP heading down? Innings aren’t piling on too fast? ERA, while not really a great stat, is it heading down? BABIP fine? On a team that can win some games? Check. Check. Check. Double check. ...

Fire Ned Yost Now

Posted 5/2/2008 on wrigleyville23

I think there is one thing everybody can agree on in the wake of the Yovanni Gallardo injury: Ned Yost should be fired. Today. Without delay. As Maddog points out at Another Cubs Blog , the 2007 Cubs MVP left Yo - a 22-year-old future star - in the game for the rest of the fifth inning and the sixth inning after he mangled his leg. Genius.
