Baseball Prospectus | Under The Knife: Surgery Surge:
"Jake Peavy's schedule is accelerating and there's a chance that he could be back in late August. If so, we'll know soon, as he'll need to be on a mound in the next ten days to hit that schedule."
In AL-Only leagues, Peavy represents the chance to get a $20+ draft day pitcher in 2010 for a fraction of that if your league goes wild and spends its FAAB under the auspices that it can't be taken with you into next season.

Rajai Davis & FAAB
The Oakland A's claimed former San Francisco Giant, and major sleeper steals source, Rajai Davis. This set-off a "flurry" of FAAB bidding in AL-Only leagues. I sat it out.
Why? 1st, I would have had to waive Travis Buck or Shannon Stewart if I was successful with my defensive $6 bid. 2nd, Davis was cut by the Giants. 3rd, he was picked-up by a SB-adverse team.
Those very good reasons aside, I still went to bed worried that someone would get Davis for a minimal FAAB bid. My worries were misplaced.
Rajai Davis went for $26! And at least one other team bid $12. Now I feel much better.
