Not sure Tom, the standings are meaningless in the first couple months
so I don't even bother looking.

Hey Steve, I haven't been able to get onto the league page for a
few days. Can you tell me what team is in first?

Getting back to the point.
Beckett had good control, good command, good
speed.
They slapped and scraped and check-swinged their
way to most of those hits last night. Sometimes you don't see but one
or two seeing eye singles, check swing line hits etc in a game. Last
night there were about 5 by the Yankers.
Beckett looked great to me.

Of course Steve's whining, and mine, brings up
something that I've learned about baseball since playing roto seriously.
The fact is that pitching is elusive and it is
very difficult to find a sure thing. The best one can do with limited
resources, as we have in roto, is pick one guy who you think is a sure
thing and then four guys who might surprise you.
In fact, this is why Wakefield is so valuable.
He's not a star, but he's the closest I've seen to a pitching machine.
He just cranks out the same numbers year after year and by having him
the Red Sox have 20% of the pitching problem locked down in January.
As for the rest
Beckett -- Was supposed to be the anchor
Dice-K -- Who knows. He's strange and I expect
he won't make it through his contract.
Lester -- Young but promising. But could blow
up.
Masterson -- Young but promising. But could blow
up.
Perry -- Old but promising. But could break
down.
So it's kind of a crap shoot, but with less crap
than other teams.
