| Jerry Narron on Michael Young and Brandon Phillips |
| "The difference is that Mike Young's intangibles were off the charts," Narron said. "That's something we don't know yet about Brandon."
How are intangibles on the charts, given that they're, um, intangible?

| The Big Unit is Big Ugly |
Randy Johnson got lit up Tuesday night. Maybe he found out just before the game he is the second ugliest man on the planet. I mean, it has to suck to be told your less sexy than Osama Bin Laden (No. 8).

| I bought Chad Orvella and Mike MacDougal for a combined $24 in AL LABR this winter. Then I bought Ambiorix Burgos for another $2, Dan Miceli with $28 worth of FAAB, and Shawn Camp with another $6 of FAAB. It's like having Baltic and Mediterranean, and Oriental, Vermont and Connecticut in Monopoly. The Royals are only going to win 60 games or so, and probably 35-40 will be by three runs or less. (And not all three run games involve saves (complete games, comeback wins in the ninth inning, etc.).
Tampa Bay can win 65-70 games, and earn a little more. The problem is I'm not sure my trio constitutes a monopoly. No idea who else would step in, but none of them inspire much confidence at this point.
Still, if the saves from those two teams are largely divided among those five, that $26 plus the FAAB should be worth it for 50 saves in a 12-team AL-only league.

| Physician, Heal Thyself |
Fresh off the revelation of Ken Griffey Jr's self-rehabilitation equipment, the Dayton Daily News reports that the Reds didn't have a doctor look at Griffey's knee until Monday afternoon. The attempts at self-rehab obviously didn't take, and now he's on the DL, albeit too late for his owners in leagues with weekly moves, who were counting on him coming back this week.
