Bob's Notes [P]It may be the dog days of summer, but that only means you should be ever vigilant at the gems that might pop up on your free agent wire. Senior writer Bob Schenks did, and Dan Uggla ended up in his lap. Or, at least, on his team. Find out this and insight across the league in Bob's Notes. |
Occupational Hazard (P)Guy Lake bids you all a fond farewell, and how fitting that there is a slew of big injury news in his final edition. Plus, he reveals his seven-step program to keep up on your own injury news. Because as they say... You can give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. But you can give a fish to Bartolo Colon and whet his appetite for the buffet. Or something like that.... |

with Sean Allen
> December 24th, 2006. Sean goes through the rest of the games for this week and points out Michael Pittman, Ron Dayne, Ladell Betts and J.P. Losman as some of his favorites this week.
> December 23, 2006. Unfortunately, Sean wanted to be timely so he submitted Saturday's game by itself. That does mean we are going to have to go to a Part 3 this week to finish things off. But Sean doesn't mind, it's not like it's the holidays or anything.
> December 21st, 2006. To be honest, it doesn't look like a Thursday game those fighting for the championship ought to be paying attention to. But Sean does pull out a couple of gems that he likes for tonight's showdown at Lambeau.
Shane Victorino, CF, Phi
Cole Hamels, P, Phi
Garret Anderson, LF, LAA
Chone Figgins, CF, LAA
What happened: According to Phillies team doctor Michael Ciccotti, Shane Victorino may rejoin the big league club as soon as today, Wednesday August 22.
What it means: Hang tight on rushing the Flyin' Hawaiian into your fantasy lineup. He has been struggling with a calf injury, including at least a couple of setbacks in rehab. Since Shane's primary value is for speed, he's a risky play until you see that he is healthy enough to run again. Play it safe and watch him play for a game or two before you consider activating him from the DL.
Cole Hamels, P, Phi
What happened: Phillies left-handed ace Cole Hamels has a strained elbow and likely will miss at least two starts. Hamels (14-5, 3.50 ERA) will have an MRI exam and skip his scheduled start Wednesday August 22 against Los Angeles after complaining of persistent soreness in his left elbow, team doctor Michael Ciccotti said Tuesday night.
What it means: Cole said he expects to go on the DL, so start researching who might be a suitable fill in for him on your roster. Hopefully this doesn't derail his entire season, as he has already pitched a career-high (at the major-league level) 167.1 innings this season. His previous high IP count was around 180 in 2006 (combination of minor and major leagues), so prepare for the team to play it safe with the team ace. This is really bad news for Hamels owners, as we are in the stretch run now, and his absence could cost some Fantasy GMs a shot at their title.
Garret Anderson, LF, LAA
What happened: Garret Anderson's grand slam in the sixth inning against the Yankees on Tuesday August 21 gave him 10 RBIs and kept 44,264 fans on their feet until one of the most reserved players on the team grinned shyly and took his bow. The 34-year-old Anderson earlier hit a three-run shot, drove in two runs with a double, and doubled home another run in Los Angeles' 18-9 rout of the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The 10 RBI was a single game team record.
What it means: So that game accounted for 25% of his HRs (8) and 20% of his RBIs (50) for the entire season. Feel free to ignore this performance and look elsewhere for consistent contribution in the outfield.
Chone Figgins, CF, LAA
What happened: Los Angeles 3B Chone Figgins sprained his left wrist checking his swing on ball four from Ron Villone with the bases loaded in the third inning of the game against the Yankees on Tuesday August 21. Robb Quinlan replaced Figgins to begin the fourth inning.
What it means: Figgins has been declared day-to-day and will be examined on Wednesday. Daily leaguers should either bench him until he is on the field or watch his status closely. Weekly leaguers hang tight, because this sounds like nothing major and he could be active by the weekend.
