Disaster (in my own lack of perspective eyes) has struck. I've been caught and passed by Nick Cassavetes in my individual NFBC league. I just lost Jed Lowrie to go along with Dustin Pedroia up the middle, and I picked the wrong replacement for Pedroia last week, going with Jonathan Herrera instead of Alexi Amarista or Mark Ellis, among other. Thus, I had to pick up two replacements this week.

- Chasing good money after bad with Keppinger and Barney, and I could have gotten both for the minimum. Lovely. At least both are playing semi-regularly.
- Can Colorado go ahead and trade Ramon Hernandez soon please? Otherwise, what is it going to take for Wilin Rosario to play more than once in three games? An intervention that sends Jim Tracy to managerial rehab?
- I got outbid on my top two "optional" pick ups - Cishek and Cobb. I ended up with another stab in the MI dark, once he qualifies there, in Bixler. At least until I cut him next week. Probably should have prioritized Rutlidge over Bixler. He replaces Dillon Gee (sigh) on my roster.
- Any time Justin Upton wants to hit another homer, ok by me.

- I was the $10 bid on Ross Detwiler, who has two starts this week.
- Anywhere between 3rd and 10th place is the likely result with this team, absent my pitching really taking off, which seems, um, unlikely.
