Trout and Trumbo look really good. Although power isn't quite back, for being out of baseball for 2 years, Kendrys is healthy and looking pretty good. <br /> <br /> Albert hit his 2nd HR today and it was in a clutch situation. Plus, he's raised his AVG like 20 points in the past couple days. Interleague this weekend in San Diego might snap him out of it bringing back something he's a little more familiar with playing against NL with NL rules.<br />_________________<br /><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa80/krush40/kendry.jpg" border="0" /></span><br /> Tenacious D-Store MLB News Tenacious D-Store http://www.fantasyplaymakers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=438545#438545 2012-05-17T04:36:34Z 2012-05-17T04:36:34Z Author: <a href="http://www.fantasyplaymakers.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1127" target="_blank">Tenacious D-Store</a><br /> Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 12:36 am (GMT -5)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> Billingsley was a nice surprise. Who would have expected a comeback season like that after being dropped in nearly every league last season. Jerome Williams was also a nice surprise especially since the Angels offense really hasn't gotten it going yet. I'm also keeping my eye on Travis Ishikawa and Brad Pill. They look like they could break out and actually have some fantasy value with regular playing time. <br /> <br /> I can't be surprised by anyone being named closer, they one's that aren't on the DL are pitching like crap and losing their jobs. I don't think we've ever seen the closer situation quite this bad this early in the season. <br /> <br /> And who would have thought the Nats would be the team to beat in the NL? It should be interesting if they can get it going.<br />_________________<br /><img src="http://imageshack.us/m/838/1319/49732989.png" border="0" /> <br /> <img src="http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a2/dld6184/JoeyBats-1.png" border="0" /> <br /> <span style="font-style: italic">Sometimes I worry about my short attention span... but not for very long.</span></span><br /> Tenacious D-Store Random Chatter Tenacious D-Store http://www.fantasyplaymakers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=438544#438544 2012-05-17T04:29:06Z 2012-05-17T04:29:06Z Author: <a href="http://www.fantasyplaymakers.com/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1127" target="_blank">Tenacious D-Store</a><br /> Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 12:29 am (GMT -5)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> I don't consider this spam because the Lounge is more dead than this place lately.
