Rotten Sushi?

As I watched Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball’s “Expert” Predictions today, I was thinking to myself: Who hired this “expert”?

Brad Evans claims that Daisuke Matsuzaka is not going to follow up on his

Worth Every Penny...

spectacular 2008 season, citing Daisuke’s high BA against and his walks. He claims that Matsuzaka got “lucky” last year. Last time I checked, the ability to pitch out of jams was skill, not luck.

It’s true that Matsuzaka doesn’t have superb stats, but he still is a very clutch pitcher. It seems like he pitches better out of the stretch than the windup, so he may want to speed his slow windup up a little to get more results with the bases empty.

Don’t forget that Matsuzaka was only in his second year last year and he is still adjusting to the Major Leagues. He was inconsistent in his rookie year, but he improved last year, and at his pace he should be completely dominant this year. So to any fantasy owners who want to follow Brad Evans’ advice: well, it’s your loss.

In other news, congrats to Martin Brodeur for winning his 552 NHL game and breaking Patrick Roy’s record of 551 wins on St. Patrick’s Marty’s Day.
