As I am watching the Cubs @ Diamondbacks game on MLBN I see on the scroll that Franklin Morales made another start for the Red Sox today and his stat line looked pretty sharp. I also saw Brian Fuentes pitching to Melky Cabrera on my CBS Fantasy stats page and I got to wondering how …

Can we have Jason Hammel back?
Stick with me here. In a big hairy monster sort of voice “the big AL East is full of big bats. Rawr! Going from the AL East to the NL West (the land of spacious ballparks and light hitting teams) should be beneficial to Jeremy Guthrie. RAWR!” OK, you can ignore me again. That was …

Rockies stockpile pitching to trade for more pitching

Rockies pitching news and notes
Jason Hammel out, Alex White in There were some rumors earlier this week that Jim Tracy would not be opposed to a six man rotation.
