This article references Mike Leake, SP and more! BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep LeaguesANALYSIS: Mike Leake didn't get off to the start that some analysts thought he might this season, and as a result he's currently owned in only 48% of Yahoo Leagues.

In his last ten outings, Leake has lasted 7 innings or more on six different occasions and collected 60 strikeouts in that timeframe. He owns a solid 3.42 ERA and a very nice strikeout to walk ratio of 3.41. I[...]

I have been viciously attacked by a summer cold recently and it appears this monstrosity of an infection has made it its goal to neutralize me where it hurts most: my mind. As a result, I must apologize to my beloved readers as my wit right now may not even be up to Kenny Bania standards. Then again, there's always the possibility that my readers are merely reading to criticize, of which I can relate to nearly everything I read on the internet. If that's the case, then you're welcome for m[...]

Maybe I'm just excited, but I'm expecting a copious amount of trades today. Plenty of teams are still mathematically in the playoff races and the teams that are out of it seem to like the bargaining chips they have. I'm most excited to see which GMs actually think acquiring a past-his-prime pitcher for top prospects on the farm will put their one-or-two-games-over-.500 club in prime playoff position. The Yankees come to mind... but I'm not sure they have a farm system anymore.B[...]

I'm pretty ecstatic that All-Star Week has concluded, as I took it on the chin over the last three days. I honestly can't remember having a worse weekend with pitcher projections. I was so shell-shocked by Saturday afternoon that I locked myself in my bedroom, turned off all baseball alerts and proceeded to play the "Pagliacci" soundtrack on repeat while looking into a mirror and sobbing quietly.
