Injury Update

In Spring Training, A.J. Burnett, fouled a ball off his bat and it broke a bone in a face. He returned last weekend to throw 7 good innings. Burnett is a guy you can pick up in almost every league and he could return to his form he had with the Blue Jays.

Perfect Game

On Saturday Phillip Humber of the Chicago White sox pitched a Perfect Game against my Seattle Mariners. It is the 21st Perfect game in Major League History. Humber is not much of a fantasy star but congrats none the less on the perfect game!

Fantasy Drop of the Week

Brian Wilson (SF)

Wilson, one of the games best closer's, is having Tommy John Surgery and will be out for around a year. Bad news for fantasy owner's but hopefully you can find more saves on the free agency market.

Fantasy Pick-Up of the Week

Fantasy Baseball Pick-Up of the Week:

Jake Peavy (CWS)

A fantasy star from a few years ago has reemerged into fantasy greatness early this year! Last night Peavy continued his hot start by throwing a complete game shutout against the Oakland A's. Peavy is now 3-0 on the year with a 1.88 ERA. If he is still available in your league go pick him up!
