Saturday Night Notes

Andy Pettitte of the Yankees had a horrendous start going 6.2 innings and allowing 10ER's on 10H's. That was a brutal start which bumped his ERA from 4.21 to 4.99 in one game, ouch! At least the Yankees won.

Johnny Damon of the Yankees had a nice night. He went 6-6 with a 1R, 1 double, 4RBI's, and a stolen base. In his past 10 games he has raised his average from .288 to .326. This 6-6 outing raised his average 18 points alone.

Joakim Soria of the Royals blew his first save of the season allowing 2ER's. Don't worry about Soria and his job security, it is still his to lose.

Jorge Cantu of the Marlins just homered for the 3rd time in two games. He went 3-5 and added a double and 2Runs to the HR. Uggla isn't the only Marlin who is swinging the hot bat right now.

Delmon Young of the Twins, who is famous for tossing a bat at an umpire, finally hit his first home run of the season on his 233AB. That was a long drought. Owners who drafted Young did not expect him to take this long to take one yard. This kid seems to be struggling mightily at the plate and for owners the slump was too long. Most owners seem to have cut Young from their lineups and rightfully they did. Unless he gets hot in a hurry, this kid will be a free agent for the rest of the season in fantasy land.

Brad Hawpe of the Rockies hit his second home run in as many games since returning from the DL. This is a great sign for owners who stuck with Hawpe and for those of you who picked him up hoping his 2007 stats would start to kick in, well you might have been rewarded.
