Summary of Week's Moves

This past week I made two moves on my roster. The first move I made was to finally drop Jason Isringhausen (STL-RP) and I added Ryan Franklin (STL-RP). I thought that by adding St. Louis' closer I could capitalize on the saves that he would be getting from playing on a good team. But, the day after I added him, he blew a save against the Brewers and ultimately ended up getting the loss. I haven't had any luck this year with Cardinals' relief pitchers. Since St. Louis pitchers haven't been doing well for me, I put in a waiver request to get Jonathan Broxton (LAD-RP) and drop Ryan Franklin.

The second move I made was to add Shane Victorino (PHI-OF) and drop Jose Guillen (KC-OF). This acquistion started paying off for me right away. Through seven inning today he has gone 2-4 with 2 Runs, 4 RBI, 1 HR, and 1 SB. I have placed him in my lineup in place of Randy Winn (SF-OF). However, when one of my outfielders has the day off Randy Winn will be placed into my lineup.

A standings update: I am currently in 6th place with 90 points. The 5th place team has 93.5 points and the 7th place team has 82 points. I have reached that 90 point mark, and I hope to keep gaining points as I continue my ascent into the top five of the league.
