Keppinger appeared to hurt himself in the second inning when he fouled a ball off the inside of his leg. Corey Patterson pinch hit for him in the fourth. In the fifth, Jerry Hairston Jr. moved to short stop, Ryan Freel moved to right field, and Patterson moved to center field. UPDATE: An X-ray re...

Cubs expected to sign Edmonds May 13, 2008 BY GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com The Cubs appear poised to sign veteran center fielder Jim Edmonds soon after he clears waivers Wednesday. That would mean a demotion to the minors for touted prospect Felix Pie, who entered Monday wi...

You know its coming. You have penciled in a few dates into your calender. NBA earnings day. And sure names such as Bynum, Arenas, and Ariza are getting tossed around... but that's not what this is about. This isn't even about who to buy in the baseball market on NBA earnings day (because we are too ...

At first, I didn't think C. Gomez was really that much of a buy. It kind of makes sense, being priced relatively high at $146.23. But then it hit me...STOLEN BASES. Stolen bases are worth $1.75 each, and a guy who could steal bases like there's no tomorrow should be worth a lot huh? Current stats...

Very promising Pitcher for the Braves, Im watching this game so I'll be able to personally deliver some timely comments. Price:$125.56 Opponent:Pittsburgh Other starts vs Pit this year:5IP, 7H, 2ER, 5K Last start(Padres):6IP, 7H, 1ER, 1BB, 8K As of now:4IP, 1H, 2BB, 3K (47 Pitches) *Sho...

Somehow, in all the post-Neshek festivities yesterday, Manny Corpas got overlooked. Here are the reasons why I think he is the best short on the MLB market (if I am right he's will end up as a 68% floor short): 1) Corpas currently has negative earnings (-$2.79). But that includes the four save...

Many of you might be asking who is Phil Dumatrait? And why does he have an award named after him? Well Phil Dumatrait was the worst pitcher on PT last season, earning -$31.86, a monster $61.86 away from reaching the floor, which to my knowledge is the PT record. The Phil Dumatrait Award is a dist...

First one(yesterday) didn't go so well, hopefully this one and all others shall have better results. The market is crazy regarding pitchers so anything short of a 8IP, 0ER, 10K performance will likely result in a drop of prices but lets get this going. Yesterday's POD Jair Pitched well enough t...

D. Navarro P: 72 E: 25.51 (pending completion of game) P/E: 35% E-P: $46.5 How many full-time starting hitters are under $50 from price... bet you can't find any. I certainly bet you can't find any hitting over .350 Of course his average won't remain at that level for long, but that's ok...

Pat Neshek is out for the season and he has had a massive drop, right now he is priced at 33.16 and is still a 10% short. I'm not complaining but don't you think we should bring him down before he is retired??

It is not official that Keppinger is out for the year. He is at 40 dollars earned and has had a great year. They haven't had an official ruling. I think before we short him to the floor we should wait for the ruling.

There are three buys and one short that I am loving tonight. There are: Ryan Ludwick Priced at $130.55 Earnings at $56.89 43.58% E/P Why do I love Ludwick as a buy? Ludwick is hitting .346 with 8 homeruns, 24 RBI's, 21 Runs, and 75 Total Bases*. Ludwick isn't starting, b...

Jayson Werth has had a big night for the Phillies tonight. He is 3-4 with 4 RBI's and the word in Philly is that he is going to continue to start in centerfield and Victorino is going to play right since he is a switch hitter. Geoff Jenkins will be the odd man out. Looks like Werth will get the c...

I'm a number of Neshek shorters flocked to the popular shorts - TULO, Broussard, V. Wells, etc. These stocks have already been abused and there were (are) a number of people w/ short positions in those stocks that have been licking their chops for new sellers in those stocks so that they could cove...

Does that mean his floor is at his earnings of 40 dollars

Today is game 5 of the Western Conference Semi finals series between the Spurs and Hornets. Here are some buys from the Spurs. Michael Finley Price:90.83 Earnings: 90.61 E/P: 99.75 If the Spurs win this series in 7 games and lose the next series in 5 games, Finley is on pace to become an:...

Once you all can turn your thinking caps back to 2006, we can start this show... Michelle had just been thrown around by Mr. Marcus (Philadelphia) and Rocco Siffredi (Washington) the past year, and was in desperate need for a rebound hit. She had been slowly losing her appeal in the porn worl...

We know that Keppinger has fractured his patella in his left knee. However, he has already earned over 41 dollars. We do not know how long Keppinger is out for yet.. but we know it will be at least a month. Will he drop to $80 or $60. He is currently at $83.64 and falling fast. I think he should...

I know alot has been said about Gerald Laird splitting time with Salty, but the guy is having a great week. Protrade is even having a tough time keeping up with the stats he is putting up. Here are the real numbers: Ave: .278 Runs: 19 RBIs: 14 HR: 3 SB: 0 Earnings: $28.98 Price: $65.27 P/E...

After reading a story about how people with mechanical legs and arms will be better than normal people, I have decided that they should build giant robot Freak things to play our sports for us. What is better than to watch a 700 pound monster get greased befor going out to compete in figure skating...

While we were all shorting Keppinger, the Indians finished off Oakland to give Paul Byrd the win. It is amazing what one good game can do for you in PT world. Byrd more than doubled his earnings from $12.97 to $26.51. He is trading at $73.46, or 36% earned. That moves him into the Top 30 pitcher...

All I have to say is 6.2 innnings pitched, 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 4 SO and a Win against the Nationals tonight to top it all off. John Maine had another quality start tonight. This is his 3rd win in a row tonight (won 4 of the past 5). I would say John Maine is on a hot streak right now and I don't kn...

Batting .393 2nd in Mlb, .800 slugging 1st in MLB, .470 obp, 38 rbi's 2nd in MLB, 13 homeruns 1st in Mlb, 55 hits what is not to like. On pace to make nearly $450 pt dollars, 200 more dollars than his price Berkman right now is the best buy in all of the sports. Batting around .600 his last ten game...

Does that mean his floor is at his earnings of 40 dollars
