The Season Begins

Well, I started OK on Sunday with Randy Johnson winning.

I replaced Quiroz with Josh Bard, a back-up catcher for Cleveland, and Ken Harvey with Travis Lee, starting first baseman for Tampa Bay.

Why is a starting firstbaseman still available after the draft, you ask? Because he plays for Tampa Bay. And he was out for most of 2004 with a bad shoulder and it is always questionable whether an average player can make it back after sitting out for a season. (People always seem to make allowances for the really good players to come back after an injured season. People are still making allowances for Ken Griffey Jr, even after 4-5 years of injured seasons. Sometimes you just can’t come back from an injury without aggravating it even more. )
