The old switcheroo

Here’s the deal: I intended to move Russell Martin from the bench to catch, as Mike Napoli is on the 15-day DL. However, both of these players are “locked” in the lineup. Honestly, I’m not even sure what that means, except the obvious: I can’t do the roster switcheroo I intended. #disappointed

In other (incredibly depressing) news, only four of my pitchers are healthy. This is terrible. It’s time to look for some new aces, particularly one to fill the hole left in the rotation by Joba Chamberlain, who likely won’t return this season due to Tommy John surgery. Therefore, I’m calling up at least one free-agent. Now Blue Jay Carlos Villanueva is mine. Here’s an interesting graphic comparing Joba and Carlos in season K’s:

So, they aren’t exactly equals.

Also, I swapped Hong-Chih Kuo for Jon Rauch. #onaroll This graph compares the two players’ total points over the season. A little dramatic, shall we say?
