I seldom listen to Sports talk radio anymore but had 103.3 on for 5 minutes and Dennis and Freido were lamenting one of their favorite players was being sent down in DDJ. Whereas I was excited because now Rua gets his opportunity. Hope DDJ does well and does not allow this to get in his head too much but gets things going like Odor did.

I think you know there's a lot of support for Mr Rua here. I'm IN.

But it may be a little unfair or unrealistic for us to keep hoping for ever player who gets demoted to go through the "Odor syndrome." That was a pretty amazing transition DDJ made, and frankly, most don't clear that bar.

Good observation.

Derek probably needs a break vs that RH lineup the Jays run at him

Rangers' Derek Holland: Start pushed back to Monday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire


Derek Holland will make his next scheduled start Monday against the A's, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Holland would have been on schedule to take the hill Sunday, but the Texas Rangers will push him back a day so that he won't have to face the Blue Jays over the weekend. The 29-year-old righty has only managed to go five innings over his last two starts, allowing 15 earned runs in that span while only notching two strikeouts.

Yes my fantasy team noticed this uptick in ER. :L

Had to dump him.

Nothing is a sure thing even a prototype CF like Brinson. Good to have other guys just in case like Cordell. Still have to think having Maz,Gallo and Brinson up at least next September is highly likely. Won't that be awesome!
