Fantrax sometimes has the oddest "news and notes" blurbs when you click on a player's name. There was the one about Avisail Garcia about a month ago that said he should try a new profession. The current one about Souza says it's "odd that he's sitting Thursday" (today).

Well...he is facing Kluber...and, oh yeah! He's 0 fer his last 22. I think giving him a day off might be justifiable. ;)

So I wonder if Gausman pitches great tonight, if Buck will move Norris to the pen where he belongs. Not sure what the O's are seeing.

Buck seems to be hellbent on screwing up Gausman royally. I don't get it.

In one of my leagues, I have an outfield of Stanton, Springer, Pence and Span.

Only Span remains.

Time to find out. They can't possibly keep Norris in the rotation right? Not only does he suck, but he's a free agent next season. Why on earth have they even waited this long?

Here's the thing, Buck has been convinced that Gausman will serve them better in the pen this year. Let's see if he wakes up. Yanking a young pitcher back and forth from their anticipated roles is a terrible thing to do, imo. Messes with their mindsets and mechanics. Look at CMart last year.

Woohoo! Norris to the pen! I'm not upset for dropping him in MBBRL because I've been stashing him in my money league....where I need pitching. Especially after losing Miggy.

Is it just me, or are DL stints getting longer? Seems like 6 weeks is like the norm these days...

Marcell Ozuna just got released in our league, WTF happened to that guy? I put a waive claim in for him, with me droppping Colby Lewis. I might cancel it before it goes through so I don't waste my waiver order. I don't see the Marlins sticking with that OF for too long. I bet he's back up after the ASG.

I'm a little confused about that one as well...personal problems maybe?

Highly doubt you need to waste a waiver claim on him. And if he does come back, what are you getting? 10 HR and a .250 avg if you're lucky.

Did I say Ozuna? I actually put a claim on Segura, lol. Both of them got dropped today.

What I said about Ozuna getting optioned down was correct tho.
