Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Spring Training Boxscores: Fantasy Notes

  • Jorge Cantu went 1-3 and is now hitting .407 this Spring.  He is on the wrong side of a 3B platoon in Florida, but that should make him even more likely his will slip through the cracks of NL-Only leagues.  Man, 2005 was a looooong time ago.
  • Josh Barfield hit his 1st HR this Spring and is now hitting .300.  He has been written off as a viable major leaguer after last season's debacle.  I'm not so sure.
  • Franklin Morales pitched four innings this afternoon.  He allowed a run and struck out three.  Will he fade to the background with the news today that Clayton Kershaw will remain at Dodgers camp a little longer?
  • Justin Upton stole his 4th base this Spring.  Not BJ.  Justin.  He remains under the radar.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him get to Lastings Milledge's expected value within three weeks.

Milledge...
what IS his expected value? Seems like he's one of the better sleepers this year, no?

AL LABR
The LABR draft results won't be out for another week, but some conversation has gleaned that Mileldge went for more than Austin Kearns whose draft price was $18 in the NL-Only format.

His mixed league results measured by ADP have only gone up by 5% or so to the 300 area.  There is still a lot of time to move though.

Casey on Kershaw

"That was some of the best stuff I have seen in a long time as far as a new arm,'' Casey said. "The first pitch was a hammer, and I hate to say it was almost (Barry) Zito-like, but it broke with this 12-6 tilt. Imagine that from a guy who hits 97 (mph) with his fastball. Then he threw me another one that froze me. That was great stuff, big-league stuff, and I think he could help that team this year.''
