Curt Schilling

Curt Schilling of the Red Sox had surgery which will end his season and perhaps his career.

From a fantasy this is great news. He was never going to be the dominating pitcher was but he was still serviceable on fantasy rosters. The great news is the situation is now complete so owners can now cut ties and free a spot on rosters and that DL spot for someone else. Also, for owners of Lester, Masterson, and Buchholz this means one less person to worry about when competing for a rotation spot. At this point, Lester and Masterson will be the ones who see time on the mound unless Buchholz finds a way to pitch himself back into contention, I woundn't see why not.

Masterson and Bedard

Justin Masterson of the Red Sox earned his 3rd win of the season by beating the lowly Mariners. Masterson pitched 6 innings allowing only 3H's, 1ER, and striking out 4. It seems like the Red Sox have someone to fill in holes whenever someone goes down with injury. This kid should be owned so go out and grab him now!

Erik Bedard of the Mariners did not earn the loss against the Red Sox and for owners, like myself, are very happy with what they saw in his performance. Even though he only pitched 5 innings, Bedard left the game allowing only 2H's, 1ER, and striking out 5. For owners, hopefully Bedard can turn things around and be more consistent.
