And for the record, he said it would take two keepers to get him.

He showed me the email the other day cause I didn't believe him. Rouge said something like "that would get the talks flowing"

In the Oakland A's 2012 Fantasy Outlooks Page:


quote:

Breakout ... Brandon McCarthy, SP

McCarthy was supposed to be the next great thing in Fantasy a good six or seven years ago, when he was in the White Sox system. Perhaps, then, his ascension to mixed-league relevance last season shouldn't have surprised anyone. But after years of arm woes had stalled his development, most Fantasy owners had dismissed him as a lost cause. And he hasn't completely shed that reputation, not when you consider he missed six weeks last season with a shoulder issue. You can't discount the progress he made when healthy, though. His walk rate was the third-lowest in baseball, and he pitched beyond seven innings in 10 of his 25 starts. Strange as it sounds, McCarthy was actually a workhorse for the Athletics, which means he was feeling his best more often than not. And if his 2.39 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 7.9 strikeouts per nine innings over his final seven starts are any indication, he's on the verge of turning the corner in other areas as well.

Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said at Monday's Philadelphia Sports Writers' Association banquet that Ryan Howard's recovery from surgery on his left Achilles is ahead of schedule, but GM Ruben Amaro said he is not expecting his star first baseman to be ready by opening day. "I think it's more than a reach," Amaro said. "If he's back by sometime in May, I'll be happy."

I read somewhere he might be the opening day starter. Pretty impressive comeback for a guy that appeared to have maxed out as a run of the mill, bottom of the rotation arm.

I havent figured that out yet. I am chalking it up to them not being done adding the features (I saw new stuff added as the day went on today). Not many people outside of us addicts really pay attention to baseball right now.
