Day 7

Notes from yesterday:

Oakland A's starter Joe Blanton picked-up the win. He only struck out two so the hopes that he could follow-up his 7-K start with more Ks to solidfy his status as a big time 2007 sleeper remains on hold.

*

Dave Ortiz homered twice yesterday, but a lot of the big HR hitters have not. Woe is be the roto teams whose starters are facing Ryan Howard, Mark Texeira et al when they do!

*

Watch who the Marlins use to close if there is a save opportunity today. He is the back-up closer. My guess is Henry Owens, but I am concerned he hasn't struck out a batter over four innings of work. Where'd the heater go?

*

Rafeal Furcal is days from being activated and making every roto team who didn't draft him based on the early injury regret the move.

*

Randy Johnson dominated in his second rehab start. Roto owners will also be ruing the decision not to bid on him.
