Smoltz placed on DL

BY ADAM RONIS

The Braves have placed John Smoltz on the 15-day DL with a sore right shoulder. Dr. James Andrews examined him and said he had a severely inflamed biceps tendon and inflammation of the rotator cuff. His return date is uncertain.

Hey Adam, I feel like I ask you this question alot, but would you start Snell @ NYM tonight? Besides that one 10K start, he hasn't looked that great so far. Also, start McGowan @ BOS tomorrow? Thanks.

No problem JD.

You are right about Snell. I am playing him in two leagues and benching him in another. It's a tough call because it will be a cold, windy night, which is usually tougher on the hitters. The Mets offense hasn't been great either. He doesn't have great career number against the Mets either and in the league where I benched him, there is an innings limit, which is why I am. As for McGowan, I'd start him. His last start was the only real bad start he has had this season.

Adam I got Eveland scheduled to go against Ervin Santana tomorrow and I'm thinking about benching him. I was interested in your opinion. I had Santana last year, and he is 4-0, so I'd expect a loss at some point but the Angels are home, it'd be story book going 5-0 after Saunders, Eveland seems due to blow up, then again I'd hate to miss out on a W.

I'd stick with Eveland. He hasn't gone deep in most games, but he has been solid. He has also pitched well on the road. He hasn't had a real bad outing yet, so I'd pitch him.

I think I might have convinced some owners into a few deals? I M trading Dempster and Keppinger for Aramis Ramirez, and with the extra slot I'll pick up Scherzer. I M trading Smoltz for Zimmerman (If this doesn't work out then I'll do Smoltz for Maine.). And I am trading(I think)Broxton for Kuroda

Thoughts on those trades?

I like all the deals, especially since your season ends soon, which is quite bizarre.

I just realized that I can't do Broxton for Kuroda. I would have only 2 relievers and in our league you MUST start 3. By the way, my catching stinks:Schneider and Bard. Who do you think I should try to get?(Not Martin, McCann, or Molina, they went for too much money.

Try Ryan Doumit, Chris Ianetta, Ramon Castro, Chris Snyder.

Snyder's unowned, but if I pick him up I'll be taking on $5. If I pick him up, I'll have only $19 left. Then again, there isn't much time left to make trades, so I probably won't need the money. Your thoughts?

All my trades were turned down, but I am trading Cain for Glaus. I really need somebody to replace Bautista. What do you think?

I'm moving to "Gallardo Tears ACL."

Jack,

I'd hold off on that trade. Bautista is hot right now. He homered again today, so you may want to wait a few days and then sell high.
