You got me this week.  See, I told you everybody scores points when they play me.  Nobody has 200 to 300 point weeks on me.  Everybody that plays me racks up 450 to 600 points.  That's a fact.  Not one low scoring week against me this season.  I lead the league in points scored against them by a mile.   

I'm still one of the leaders in points scored, if not the leader, but an off week for me this week.  My pitchers got clobbered this week.  It happens.  

So you got me this week.  Pointless to make moves for a big run Sunday.  It is end of month.  I grabbed best pitcher and hitter I could to start July.  Not an overhaul, but a couple changes to try to start July with best team I can have.  

So I go into July at .500 on the season.  For all the points I've scored this season, I should have more wins, but no team has had as many points scored against them as my team. not even close.  It's hard to win when every team has their hot weeks against you all season.  I told you that you would score points against me, everybody else does. 

I added Ortiz pitching OK for Pirates, and added Delong who was All-Star SS / 2nd for Cardinals now doing OK for White Sox. Not earth shaking moves. but maybe they fill some needs going forward.

I almost grabbed Eduardo Rodriguez for Arizona now a few weeks ago. Word was he would pitch in July. Now word is he may start rehab in late July maybe. That is how the injured pitchers are this season. Either out for the season, or they may come back try to pitch in August or September, which doesn't help much in Fantasy of shorter regular season. I've got old men Verlander and Kershsaw on my IL, but I don't look for them to come back and pitch much this season. One team I have Trout on IL, and he is another one who keeps having rehab setbacks and probably not much this season. After losing Bieber early, I put some hopes on a comeback by Verlander or Kershaw, but both look too over the hill to pitch anymore. As for now, they don't hurt me on my 2 IL spots, but I'm no longer hoping to get any points out of them.

Again, we could all use these MLB teams bringing up young bloods from the Minors second half of season, because these veteran Tommy John surgery pitchers just aren't cutting it. We could all use some Minor League players brought up and added to our Free Agent options.
