108 Stitches

As I sit and watch “No Country for Old Men” for the first time since I saw it in the theater, I struggle to put into words how incredible of a writer Cormac McCarthy is and how ridiculously talented the Coen Brothers are. I am never afraid to admit when something works, and like McCarthy and the Coens, the formula that many sports blogs out there use regularly works. Beyond that, I truly believe that sometimes fantasy owners simply need to read and digest the news. Sometimes they don’t want someone to regurgitate the news and suggest or almost demand they react in a certain way. Hence, my reasoning behind simply providing the following links.

Brewers scratch Ryan Braun from lineup due to a sore right Achilles’ tendon.

A couple of Reds pitching prospects not named Homer are turning heads this spring.

The Price is right for the Rays, just not quite yet.

The Cubbies move shortstop Ryan Theriot to leadoff, which could foretell of a spike in fantasy value due to more base stealing opportunities.

The Jays gain one injury prone pitcher in reliever Armando Benitez and lose a promising young hurler for the season due to a torn labrum.

Metabolic and/or mitochondrial abnormalities could end Rays outfielder Rocco Baldelli’s career.

Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter finally got back on the mound on Tuesday.

A promising spring for Athletics outfielder Carlos Gonzalez takes a brief detour.

Brewers future ace Yovani Gallardo had a very promising day in his recovery from minor knee surgery.

Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett will miss the entire opening series in Japan with his latest injury.

A back injury may force Twins pitcher and popular fantasy sleeper Scott Baker to the DL to start the season
