Yesterday, Jose Berrios went 7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 11 Ks, bringing his two-game ERA to 0.59. Hi ho the Berrios, snitches! Here's what I said previously on Jose Berrios (because this is instructive, and not out of laziness), "In Triple-A, Berrios threw 75 2/3 IP and had a 2.62 ERA with a 9.9 K/9 and a 1.7 BB/9. That’s Sizzlean that you leave on top of your camel’s head as you gallop through the Sahara heat. You don’t usually see that kind of sample size — that’s what she said! — in Triple-A. You know why? Most major league teams promote guys who are as good as Berrios. Most teams also don’t tie a player’s paycheck to a string then drag said check right in front of the player’s feet, just out of their reach." And that's me quoting me! Here's the kicker. That was from two years ago! I've loved this guy for a long time -- that's not what she said! His first two games I'd describe as 'a little difficult' to pretty easy. His next start at Baltimore will be the true test. If you're in a competitive league, you need to own him now before he goes out and throws a gem in Balty-more (they call it that, right?). Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
