Random thoughts...

Been disenchanted with FB lately. It seems like every player that is currently struggling is on my team. I know, I know, its a marathon not a sprint. Its just not that much fun when you're already this far behind.

I want to catch everybody up on some pitchers that I've watched recently:

Greg Maddux 4/11 vs. SF - Vintage Maddux! The cut-fastball was looking great. I'm still very surprised he's only owned in 75% of CBS Sportsline leagues. Strikeout numbers are solid too.

Micah Owings - Has been a popular add so far this season. He's off to a nice start, but I watched him against CIN on Wednesday and I wasn't impressed. I wouldn't be surprised if he develops some elbow issues as he was constantly dropping his arm angle. I could be wrong here, but I don't see him sticking with the club.

Chuck James - I watched some of his game on Wednesday. I have him in a couple of my leagues and I'm very happy with his success, I just don't know how he's doing it with only two pitches. Granted he is throwing his slider more often to left-handers so hopefully he will feel more comfortable using it with righties soon. I'm just not sure if his success is sustainable without that third pitch.

Oliver Perez - Man was he brutal Wednesday. Wasted talent here. I wouldn't start him in any of your leagues until he can throw strikes consistently.

Tim Lincecum - Add this guy to all of your leagues NOW. He pitched 7 innings for Fresno last night, no earned runs and 9 strikeouts. I've been saying it all pre-season, it won't be long until he is dominating MLB.

Mike Pelfrey - Debuting tonight against the lowly Nationals. Should dominate.

Felix Hernandez - I don't normally comment too much on AL baseball, but I couldn't help but changing the station to the SEA/BOS game the other night. I'm not sure if I have ever seen a curveball as nasty as his. Mix that in with a 99MPH fastball (which he was still hitting on the radar gun in the 7th), and this guy could contend with Santana for this years Cy Young. Love the swagger too.
