Fernando Salas

Trevor Miller

Eduardo Sanchez

Miguel Batista

Ryan Franklin

Dave Duncan

Lee Smith

Jason Motte

Mitchell Boggs

Any thoughts?

No love for Todd Worrell?

Well, Mad Al is available. His 2nd career as a teacher did not go too well...

Boggs now pitching the 7th inning today after pitching the 8th last nigh after blowing a save after converting three straight. LaRussa is such a douche

Tony LaRussa is like Bill Belicheck when it comes to fantasy. You have a hard time drafting Patriot running backs because nobody can ever figure out who will get the majority of carries. Same applies with LaRussa. The way he interchanges playing time with his players and closers is frustrating to figure out.

Salas pitches the 7th...what are you doing LaRussa?

LaRussa is doing what he has always done - showing you how smart he is. Can't say I'm surprised.

I try very hard each season to avoid his closers, especially if there are any questions. Have a small investment in Salas on a few squads - nothing big. Still, he has handled this much better than that crazy ass on the South Side of Chicago.

CHEST:

Agreed, thought it was coming after his meltdown against the Yanks. Still feels the need to keep getting Omar Vizquel his AB's - hope it happens sooner than later.

Eduardo Sanchez with another save today.

Was it sarcasm?... Or previously untapped subconscious genius.

We may never know.
