As readers have no doubt noticed, the content at BDD has dropped off in the second half, with Joe Hamrahi moving on to other pursuits, such as dominating the KFFL Expert Fantasy League (over the likes of Bloomberg, Baseball HQ, etc).  I’ve been working on getting John Burnson’s latest, Rotolympus.com, in shape and doing coding for Baseball Prospectus.  For those of you who used to use the team tracker on BDD, we haven’t forgotten about you, and I’ve been working on bringing a bigger, better team tracker back to the site.  In the meantime, rotolympus.com has a team tracker which – like everything else on Rotolympus – is ultra-fast and easy to use!

Here’s a screen capture (split into left and right to fit the format of Baseball Daily Digest) of one of my Strat teams in the Team Tracker, and one of the players.  Rotolympus.com is ad-free, so it’s the fastest, most convenient way to get your baseball stats!

ss Yunel Escobar – Doubleheader

1b Lyle Overbay – Doubleheader

3b Edwin Encarnacion – Doubleheader

of Coco Crisp – Excellent SB potential against Daniel Hudson/A.J. Pierzynski battery.

of Andres Torres

of Drew Stubbs

2b/3b Alberto Callaspo

ss/2b Asdrubal Cabrera – Wade Davis hasn’t been pitching well this year, though the TB relief corps is very good.

c John Buck – won’t play both games of doubleheader, but both pitchers are easy.

of Luke Scott – Kevin Slowey hasn’t been effective, and Scott’s hott.

ss/2b/3b Felipe Lopez

c John Jaso – great matchup today

dh Jim Thome – if you have a spot for him

Starting Pitchers:

Jair Jurrjens appears to be fully back, and Florida hasn’t been crushing the ball this season.

Both Mike Leake (@HOU) and Wade LeBlanc (@PIT) are probably safe plays, though the strikeout potential is limited in each case.
