Fantasy Notes: Bush-wacked?
How much more patience is Milwaukee going to have is the question of the day. David Bush is still floundering and Wednesday, Chris Capuano was a late scratch with a groin problem. Is it just about Yovani Gallardo time?
Tuesday night, those lucky fans in Memphis got to see an Anthony Reyes/Gallardo matchup and it lived up to its billing. Gallardo pitched six innings of four-hit ball with one walk, two earned runs and 12 Ks in a losing effort. Reyes was just a bit better on this night, going eight strong innings for the win. For the season, Gallardo is now up to 110 Ks in 77 innings. If he’s still out there in your league, it might be time to reserve a bench spot for Yovani.
The phrase, “‘Tis a marathon, not a sprint” is certainly a favourite for all you Chone Figgins owners out there. Coming back after that nasty finger injury at the end of spring training, he struggled badly during May, but has been on fire the past couple weeks and looks like he could be on his way to reclaiming the lead-off spot from Reggie Willits. Since June 1, Figgins is batting .469 with 13 runs scored, eight thefts, and he’s even chipped in with eight RBI. For those that exercised some patience the rewards lately have been huge.
