Update

Circumstances have already forced me to shuffle the schedule around a bit. Ubaldo Jimenez will come up later this afternoon, and I probably won't get a chance to do the Braves thing until Wednesday or Thursday. The Twins thing is moving up the schedule.

Do NOT jump to any conclusions about this, but I want to gauge interest on something.

If I was to do something like a weekly podcast, how many of you would listen in?

Upcoming Schedule

 
Upcoming schedule after the jump. Keep in mind that, as always, things may slip a bit if real life interferes.

Note that there is some mild cheesecake below the fold, so if you are at work or something you might want to make sure the boss isn't close by.

Discussion Question

We are still on "Jeri is sick" protocol around these parts, so here is a discussion question to keep you guys entertained.

Which rookie pitcher would you rather have for 2010 ONLY...Brian Matusz of Baltimore, or Wade Davis of Tampa Bay. Don't worry about any season past 2010, and assume that both pitchers will be in the rotation on opening day.


Matusz shows up slightly higher than Davis on most prospect lists, but do you like him better than Davis JUST FOR 2010? Try to approach this one from a fantasy perspective, so things like the support of teammates can factor into your decision.

Poll
Who would you prefer for your fantasy team for 2010, Wade Davis or Brian Matusz?
