With Brendan Ryan on the DL, Brian Barden will get the at-bats.
Julian Tavarez is now the closer in Washington, but Joe Beimel may still be the guy when he comes off the DL.
Melky Cabrera is the starter in center field, not Brett Gardner.

April 29, 2009Destroy! Destroy! LaTroy Hawkins is closing again! With Jose Valverde on the DL, the man unrelated to Hersey is going to gascan the Astros even farther down the standings.
Despite his truly awesome name, Joel Hanrahan has lost the closer’s job in Washington. Kip Wells of all people and Julian Tavarez will share the role, but when Joe Beimel comes off the DL, he likely will get the job.

April 28, 2009Outside of his control, Brian Bannister has looked good so far this year. He’s a good risk, especially in leagues that don’t have IP caps.
Fantasy Baseball Strategy Guide and News for 27 April 2009 (Issue 33)
April 27, 2009Jesus Flores is another .300-hitting catcher that nobody has heard of. He’s only 24 and has not yet been consistent as a hitter, but it would make sense that he could finally be putting it together, especially because he plays in such a low-profile city.
That’s it for today.
Vaselines “Enter the Vaselines”
April 26, 2009What a treat this double CD is. You get an album of studio recordings and one of live stuff. The first album has two EPs and a full length. The second has some demos and two live shows. This is great for comparing their sound, because some songs show up three times.
“Molly’s Lips,” far and away my favorite Vaselines song was played live in London, and that means it shows up on the live CD with the other London tracks. It’s not as good as the studio version, but generally, most of these songs work well live.
“Oliver Twisted,” originally from the album “Dum Dum,” is typical of the Northwest sound that personifies the Vaselines. And to be able to hear a demo of “Red Poppy” is a real treat. I bet they love it when people call it “Red Poppy” and that they raise their hands in the air because they’re all true players.
“Rory Rides Me Raw” is a waltz and focuses on the male vocals, which are every bit as good as the female ones and helps break up the album well.
