Lots of news

There's been a lot of news for your fantasy team so with that we'll get right to it.

1. Clay Buchholz was masterful for the whole game against the TB Rays except for one pitch, which of course caused him to get the loss. He finished with 8IP, 3H, 2ER, 9K and 2BB. This follows his last start with 6IP, 5H, 0ER, 6K, and 2BB. He's sports a 8.47 K/9 and really has only had the 1 horrible start versus the Yankees giving up 7ER on 9 baserunners. In his other 4 starts, he has gone 25 IP, 18H, 6ER, 9BB, and 25K. He seems to be settling into his own and he is now owned in 84% of CBS leagues. If you are in the other 16%, grab him quickly before someone else does.
2. Carlos Delgado is struggling mightily, despite hitting a HR recently. He's hitting under the Mendoza Line while only hitting 1 HR on the entire year. Buster Olney from ESPN ponders whether he will be designated for assignment. At the very least he is losing a lot of playing time due to his struggles. He is going to be 36 years old has always had old player skills and is at the age where whatever skills you do have begin to deteriorate rapidly. Expect a slight recovery in his numbers, but those days of an automatic 30HR and 100RBI are long gone.
   
3. Jorge Posada is likely going to end up on the DL because of his shoulder after re-injuring it in the game on Saturday against the Indians. It's reported he has a subscapularis tear which is not a good thing for any player, let alone an aging catcher. The subscapularis is part of the rotator cuff, which if surgery is required would necessitate a long rehab, probably close to the entire year. Unfortunately I have him in my main league, but thankfully I was able to get Pierzynski off the waiver wire to back him up. Bench Posada and hide him if you can until a surgical decision is made. If surgery occurs, dump him. If not, then hold onto him only if you have many bench spots.
4. Max Scherzer has been called up with Petit sent down. He has been absolutely lights out at AAA sporting 1.17ERA in 4 starts with a 38/3 K/BB ratio in 23IP. He may spend time in the bullpen at first, however you don't find many pitchers with his K potential very often on the waiver wire. He'll likely only get a few starts at best immediately, but those in keeper leagues should pay a lot of attention to him. Currently owned in 21% of CBS leagues, he's currently only worth a flyer in NL-only leagues. Once it's determined the length of time he'll be in the majors, I would then look at him for mixed-leagues,especially if your league counts K or K/9. You won't find very any others who can help you in these categories like he can, but currently it is only promise.
