Bedard and McClellan both came through with great starts here to save my week five numbers. First Bedard gave us five innings of one earned run ball with nine strikeouts...almost two per inning. Then, McClellan pitched eight innings of great ball and picked up a win, which had been hard to come by so far this week. Week five closes looking good, and week six is going to bring a change to the format of this column.
When I started this column, it was a good way to make myself write every day, but I spend so much time working on this column at this point, that it is making it hard for me two write anything else. In order to get time to write more fantasy baseball stuff and continue working on other endeavors, I'm no longer going to rank all of the starters every day. I'm still going to offer daily recommendations, but I'm just going to give the recommendation and an alternate owned in less than fifty percent of leagues, along with a recommendation owned in less than five percent of leagues for deeper players. And don't worry, I'm still going to offer extra recommendations for head to head players on weekend. This new format debuts right now...
