-- While I'm dominating both leagues I'm participating in, it's a long year, and with guys like Raul Ibanez x 2, Joey Votto x 2, Jose Reyes, Brade Lidge, Aramis Ramirez, and Ass Dribble Cabrera sitting on my DL, I've been hoping for a bit of a boost. Well, Votto returns today! I think it's 50/50 that he hits a home run on every pitch ... or gets dizzy and begins eating his batting helmet.

-- I'm calling it now: this is a lost season for Reyes and Aramis. Any setbacks for Grady Sizemore, I'll add him to the list. On the pitching front, I expect nothing from Brandon Webb.

-- I'd trade David Ortiz right now. He's made some adjustments at the plate, but in watching him, the bad speed still isn't there. He's basically taking a shorter route to the ball. When the pitchers make their own adjustments, I see this mini-surge ending.

-- Not a big believer in Adam Kennedy, but I guess you ride the hot bat when you can. Jose Guillen is having a decent few weeks, too. Keep an eye on both of them in deep leagues.

-- Joe Mauer: good chance to bat .375-.400 'cause he's always one more random injury away from a 390 at-bat year.

-- Ben Zobrist is cooling off a bit, but what the heck. Keep the AL leader in OPS who's SS, 2B, and OF eligible just to see if he can maybe retain some value. Just maybe.

-- Good to see Verlander return to form.

-- Could the Phillies closer situation be any more of a roller coaster? I was ecstatic when I could put Madson in and stash Lidge away, then I was ecstatic to get rid of Madson, and now I'm ... what am I?  I believe the phrase is scared shitless.

-- I'm still holding Jason Frasor.

-- Congratulations to our very own Bob Taylor, who became the proud papa of a second daughter in the last few days. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
