Bartolo. There is no substitute.

I'm officially scared of Archer now. Slider not sliding, fast ball not fasting, heavy slider usage in the past is probably the worst thing for your arm, AL East.

The list goes on and on... why can't I have these epiphanies in MARCH???

Gotta hold him for now...but am trying to sell for a #2 OF. Obviously that isn't happening right now. I hate big mistakes in money leagues. Should have drafted JD Mart instead (47th overall) like my gut was yelling.

Due to a trade I just made in dynasty, I will now use this avi until Buxton starts hitting.

He is scaring the crap out of me right now as well. I was extremely high on him coming into the season...probably too high, but I didn't expect this. His velocity is beginning to pick up again, so there's that.

Remember, it's early...gotta be patient.

This Alakazam Diaz guy is doin' pretty good for St. Louis. I wonder how long it's gonna last...

Jose Quintana is gonna be a STUD this year. Dude is putting it all together.

Definitely a quiet monster. Shame on some of us for looking at wins, or just not believing.

He's still gotta work on the walks a bit, but he's getting there. For awhile last night I thought it was gonna be another QS but no W.

So you can't tell me no one wondered how Dee Gordon suddenly blossomed overnight into a flat-out stud.

I read that the Yanks are talking about acquiring John Danks.

Yep. That'll stop the free-fall.

Wow. Which brings me to.... how the heck is Danks still getting a major league check?

And just like that, he doesn't.

White Sox designated LHP John Danks for assignment.

Best fantasy analysis I read this morning: Jose Quintana - 8 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 1.40. Remember when you were drafting and you were like, “Meh, I don’t want Quintana. I heard Matt Moore’s doing well in the spring. I’m going with him! Nothing, ma, I was talking to myself!”

Second best fantasy analysis I read this morning: Justin Verlander - 5 IP, 7 ER. I’m guessing Kate Upton doesn’t own her fiancé in fantasy.

And, one more: Jon Niese - 5 IP, 6 ER. He got the hook early. At birth, actually. Man, that schnoz.

Now that Adrian Gonzalez has died a horrible baseball death, I am mulling a straight up deal for Adam Jones.

Just betting on who comes back from the dead I guess

Thats a sure fire way to extend the losing streak

So what did Peavy and Cain have over the Giants front staff? Must be damaging stuff. There's no other reason for them to continue trotting out these two BP chuckers.

Incredible.

Yeah, I've been wondering about that. And here comes the Lincecum circus. For a guy who is making a comeback, the hype is making him out to be the reincarnation of Sandy Koufax.

Yup. I find that pretty funny.

Geez, I hope he's ok...

"Derek Holland (3-2) was brutally beaten by the Blue Jays on Thursday."

The greatest HR hitter in the history of baseball.
