World Cup: I Said, You Said

Stay For a Nightcap! Matt Kemp

Matt Kemp was benched for the third consecutive game, though he came on after Manny Ramirez got hurt. I just don't see the logic in it - I think it's a classic case of overmanaging by Joe Torre. He buried Orlando Hudson for an inferior player last year, and you could even compare this to how he handled A-Rod in the playoffs against the Tigers. I don't think this ends well.

World Cup Sunday: Refs cook England, Mexico

The final scores were lopsided, but both England and Mexico were crushed by bad officiating when the scores were close. Argentina and Germany were better teams, but the losers have every right to complain that matters might well have finished differently if the refs had gotten it right.

Stay For a Nightcap! By the Narrowest of Margins

Brian Fuentes was a heads-up play by Juan Rivera / baserunning gaffe by Russell Martin away from potentially losing his job as the closer. Fuentes gave up a bloop hit with two out and runners on first and second. Juan Rivera had no chance to throw out the lead runner, but instead threw behind Russell Martin, who had rounded second too aggressively, and the tag got on Martin nanoseconds before the lead runner, Reed Johnson, crossed home plate.

Interesting Spring Performances, Part One: The NL
As spring training ambles nonchalantly towards the finish line, it's always fun to take a look at spring stats to see who really jumps off the page and might be making some kind of statement or other...
My AL Tout Wars team
We did the AL Tout Wars draft Saturday morning, once again in "The Bubble" at the Sirius/XM studios. It was a different Tout experience than my usual drafts at Tout - lately I haven't paid for closers there, or spent much on my outfielders. But I'm also one to take the values where they fall. So to that end, here's my squad:

My "Beat Peter Schoenke" Draft Results.

My entry in the RotoWire Fantasy Baseball Online Championship was Monday night. Here's my quick take on the draft - this is a 12-team mixed league, 5x5 categories, 30 rosters spots (23 active), with no trades in the league. It has a top prize of $50,000 and a league prize of $1,400.
