Brandon Wood Recalled
2008-04-28 20:01:00 Here's an interesting guy to add if you have roster space. He's currently leading the minors with 8 homers and has 18 RBI to go along with that.He strikes out a lot and his AVG has consistently been .275.He could see home time at 2b, 3b, or SS, where he's been playing in AAA.His AVG year over the last 2 seasons in the minors has been .275 - 75 - 24 - 75 - 15.So, he could chip in 10+ steals as well. He's currently listed as 3b in Yahoo and CBS, but could gain more eligibility as the year progresses.If we are jumping at the bit to add the K leader Max Scherzer, why not take a chance on the HR leader?I don't suggest using more than 10 FAAB bucks, but he sounds pretty similar to...

Morse to DL; Rhodes Recalled
2008-04-14 23:15:00 As I speculated last night, Mike Morse has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a dislocated left shoulder he suffered on an awkward dive attempt in yesterday's ballgame. Seattle was probably thrilled at the chance to get Morse off of the 25-man roster without losing him entirely, as he is of little use to the ballclub as of now.Veteran lefty Arthur Rhodes has been called up to take his spot on the roster. I haven't been a fan of Rhodes this time around, and I'm not at all convinced that he can still get it done, but even with my doubts these latest flurry of moves get Seattle's roster back to where it should be: 12-man pitching staff, 4-man bench.Bullpen:Mark Lowe, RArthur Rhodes, LRoy Corcoran, RSean Green, RRyan Rowland-Smith, LR.A.

Cards' Pineiro strong in rehab start, could be recalled
2008-04-09 15:14:00 Joel Pineiro made what may prove to be his final prep Tuesday before returning to the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation, allowing two runs and six hits in six innings for Class AAA Memphis against New Orleans according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.Pineiro, slowed during spring training by shoulder tightness, did not receive a decision for the Redbirds but rallied after allowing both runs on three singles and a ground ball in the first inning. Pineiro struck out five consecutive hitters in one stretch. Pineiro walked one in an efficient outing that included 57 strikes among 78 pitches.Club officials have remained cautious in any projections for Pineiro, saying that the performance and how he recovered would dictate whether another start was necessary. Manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan said Pineiro's start opposite Brad Thompson's appearance in Houston had no bearing on whom Pineiro might replace in the rotation. La Russa repeated that "the best five" would remain.

Metal Water Bottles Recalled for Lead Paint-
2008-03-27 01:45:00 You try and try to do the right thing as a parent. I've often commented that it feels like being a tiny fish swimming upstream, trying to navigate what to buy and use with your kids, while protecting them from rampant advertising, toxic chemicals and in many cases, themselves (as they dive headfirst of the couch). Many parents are buying aluminum or stainless steel water bottles for their kids, because of all the media attention and studies about the chemical BPA (Bisphenol A)in certain plastics. So you go out and buy one from a seemingly harmless company with a quaint name out of Maine, called Downeast Concepts. They look like the Sigg bottles, but they most definitely are not. These bottles have been recalled for violating the lead paint standards. Here is the recall from the CPSC. See the above picture, and be sure to visit the link above for more detailed information. My daughters use Sigg bottles, and the company seems to have a strong environmental commitment and a pledge to...

I know a lot about David Beckham and what he can offer the team."Lets hope that they actually play him, because to make him travel all that way just to sit on the bench would be cruel.Source
