1. It's difficult to set a fantasy baseball lineup on Sunday. So many MLB teams use Sundays as "off days" for regular players - especially catchers. If you're going to play in a league on a Sunday, it's really important to check the posted lineups of early games to ensure someone isn't sitting it out. If you can find a Sunday fantasy lineup that doesn't have anyone sitting out, you're already ahead of the curve.
2. The Brewers' Bill Hall is a stud against left-handed hitters. His line last was night was worthy of an all star: 3-for-6 with a home run, a stolen base, four RBI, and a run scored. Most of this productivity came against Houston's left handed-starter, Mike Hampton. Being from Milwaukee, I'm well aware of Bill Hall's prowess against left-handed pitchers - so I had him active in every league I played. At the same time, when the Brewers face a right-handed starter, I don't even glance in Hall's direction when creating my teams.
3. What happened to John Beckett and A.J. Burnett yesterday? In a game projected to a be a pitcher's battle, the stat lines for these two pitchers was U-G-L-Y. Each pitcher only survived five innings and they both gave up 8 earned runs. If nothing else, the ineptidude of each pitcher allowed them both to escape without being credited with a loss. In Draftbug, Beckett earned -4 points. Ouch! Burnett barely did better, "earning" -1 points.
