This might come across sarcastic, because that is what I am going for….I can't believe Ben Sheets had to leave his start early because of injury!!!! As durable as Rich Harden, Ben Sheets left after five innings on Friday due to a strained right triceps. It is apparently the same kind of injury that Angels' pitcher John Lackey had and is missing a month. Given Sheets' history with the disabled list, you have to think that is a possibility, but no news has come down this early as far as the severity of the injury. Stay tuned, we will let you know the information as it becomes available.
Welcome back Cliff Lee! After the wheels fell completely off in 2007, Lee is looking more like the pitcher that we knew in 2004-2006, a guy who won a lot of games. Lee ran his record to 3-0 on this young season by throwing eight shutout innings, giving up just two hits and striking out eight. If he is back, you can expect 15 wins from Cliff with 160-185 Ks. If he is somehow still available, definitely pick him up at this point.
Have you ever heard of Todd Wellemeyer? I have to admit if he didn't pitch for my beloved Cardinals, I might have answered no to that question. But he was placed in the rotation as a stop gap until Mark Mulder could return, but the way he is going, he might be pitching himself into a starting job all year. Wellemeyer is striking out more than a batter an inning, and has only had one subpar outing out of four. He looks like he is worth adding, if for nothing more than riding a hot hand until it cools.
Scott Kazmir had his first rehab start for Class A Vero Beach and was pretty effective. Kazmir threw three innings giving up just one unearned run, and sat three down on strikes. Kazmir is eyeing May 3rd as his return to Tampa, so those of you who have exercised patient with the young K man aren't too long away from being rewarded for your patience.
