- In addition to his fielding woes, a Sports Illustrated poll of 470 players named Derek Jeter on the most ballots as the most over-rated player in baseball.
- Keep your eyes on Cole Hamels and Jered Weaver. Both look likely to be called up soon and would be worth picking up even in shallow leagues.
- Something must be wrong with Ryan Madson. How can a guy with his stuff be letting opponents hit .373 against him? Like I said, watch out for Hamels.
