I have him in a moderately deep 8 minor keeper for a 12 team fantasy league. Straight 5X5 league. Anybody have any thoughts on that? I'm pretty shallow at pitching. We only keep six guys a year and those look to be: Utley, Sheffy (though I'm waivering on this one), Sheets, Sabathia, Figgins, and Hunter. I also add Braun, Chris Young, Carlos Gomez, and Salty as free keepers. Do I drop Ballester? My other pitching is Kershaw and Carrasco from Philly. I thought Ballester is consider a legit number two starter prospect. Sorry, for the non Card fantasy question, but I appreciate the regulars around here as sound baseball minds. Oh, and Hardcore Legend is THE BEST handle. I mark everytime I see that. Erik, Bryan Anderson is also nice to elderly people, kids, and baseball geeks. Those being in reverse order, me, my nephew, and my mother in law. Nice, nice kid. I have a man crush on him as well. I saw Evan Longoria a few weeks back, and that guy does everything right, hits, hits for power, draws walks, advances the extra base, fields, whatever. He jumped pretty high up my list after that.

Cardenas will ground out, the 1st 2 hitters in the 7th will get on and Rasmus will tie it up with a Bay splashdown. Right? So, looks like Rasmus will get another AB today.
