Saturday, May 19: Jamie Moyer picked up his 105th win after turning 40 Thursday afternoon. It’s the second most all-time behind the 121 of Phil Niekro. Kerry Wood will make one more appearance for the Cubs before officially announcing his retirement. It will come sometime during the weekend series at Wrigley Field against the White Sox. Wood, who has posted an 8.64/2.28 ERAWHIP, and 5/11 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings this season. So, yes, he’s been pretty awful! On Friday Wood came in with one out in the 8th and Adam Dunn at first. He K'd Viciedo on 3 pitches. He has 1581 K's in 1379 2/3 IP over his injury-riddled career. Wood wanted to go out his way, like Frank Sinatra, and he did. Who know what he could have been without all the injuries. I was teary-eyed when Wood came out of the dugout for one final ovation. What a way to go out! In my $360-NL I must have pissed off the wrong people in high places. The fantasy Gods just haven't been with me, not that they usually are! In the past 10 days I’ve lost 5 guys to the DL. Jayson Werth, Jerry Hairston, Laynce Nix, Wilson Ramos and, now, Juan Uribe have gone to the sidelines. Besides Werth none are big names but they do fill a role and AB’s are tough to come by in that deep NL. I’ve already picked up Cody Ransom, Chris Denorfia and Andy Parrino who have combined for less than 15 AB up to this point. I put in for LA third baseman Elian Herrera in Uribe’s place and got him a day later. The switch-hitting Herrera was on fire for the first-place Isotopes, batting .358 (43-for-120) with 2 HR, 9 doubles, 14 RBI and 9 SB in 28 games. The native of the Dominican Republic had an on-base percentage of .381 and saw time at shortstop, third base, second base, center and left field. The 27-year-old was hitting .404 against left-handers and was batting at a .409 clip (18-for-44) during the month of May. Herrera, who will wear No. 37, was originally signed by the Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent on May 14, 2003. Herrera has averaged 33 SB/season from 2009-2011. Not known for his power, he’s hit only 18 HR over 1761 minor league AB’s. He’s a .282 lifetime hitter with a .751 OPS. In his first AB for the Dodgers on Wednesday night, Herrera hit an RBI double and later scored. To make room for Herrera the Dodgers DFA’d my second favorite Australian player of all-time (Grant Balfour is first) in Trent Oeltjen. My youngest son wants to finish the last year and a half of his college education in the land Down Under. I was also a big fan of the band Men At Work.
