Last Minute Decisions?
While updates are usually abundant between here, and RotoWorld and MLB.com, etc., there are still some that slip through the cracks and you don't know whether or not to get them in your lineup--especially if you make weekly roster moves rather than daily. Here's a look at a few question marks:
Carlos Zambrano, SP CHC: waiting on a bullpen session, but he wants to go; looks like Thursday or Friday
Curt Schilling, SP BOS: will pitch Saturday vs. Yankees
Jonathan Papelbon, RP BOS: probably done for year
Jim Edmonds, OF STL: no reports, activate at your own risk; still dealing with concussion
David Eckstein, SS STL: no reports but should return by the end of the week
Jason Isringhausen, RP STL: out this week, probably next as well
Mariano Rivera, RP NYY: out again for this week; keep reserved
Jason Giambi, 1B NYY: should return by mid-week
Hideki Matsui, OF NYY: should take over DH duties by mid-week
Mike Gonzalez, RP PIT: should return this week but not a lock for all save chances
Francisco Liriano, SP MIN: should return to pitch on Wednesday
Brad Radke, SP MIN: not coming back for some time
Kris Benson, SP BAL: missing today, maybe entire week; strep throat
Ken Griffey, Jr., OF CIN: may be ready on Tuesday, risky, but you can activate him
Adrian Beltre, 3B SEA: ready to go this week
Pedro Martinez, SP NYM: should be pitching this weekend, safe to activate
Chad Billingsley, SP LAD: should start this weekend
Chipper Jones, 3B ATL: another week on the bench, may be ready for next scoring period
I'm sure I'm missing some, but I hope this helps.
Good luck down the stretch!!
