Roto Snips

[DOUGHBOYS]

'Brandon Webb is Hoping to Pitch this Year'



- Every slow news day at the Roto desk, we are treated to this headline.

Problem is, some folks believed it in March.



'Kevin Millwood was touched up for Six Runs'



- Other pitchers are 'bombed' or at least 'roughed up for six runs. Millwood is so bad that six runs is 'touched up'.

By the way, he still has not beaten an A.L. team this year, head shaking.



The Dodgers have Added Podsednik, Lilly, and Barajas' for the Stretch Run'



- Don't they mean stretch mark run?

These guys equal three digits in age and the Dodgers are fooling themselves if they're thinking of any kind of 'run'.





'The Pirates could go to a 6 man rotation in September'





- Maholm, Duke, Ohlendorf, Lincoln, Karstens, and McDonald....

No off season deals regarding starting pitching for the Pirates.

They are set.

Mediocrity achieved.

That is what they shoot for, right?



'Joel Pineiro threw 'Aggressively' from flat ground'





- The roto desk wants us to focus on 'Aggressively'.

The smart player will focus on 'flat ground'.





'Jeff Clement hits the DL'





- A prayer was answered, albeit a little late, from Iola, Wisconsin.
