 John Smoltz was placed on the 15 day DL on Tuesday, and he hopes to be back on the mound in 15 – 30 days. The good news is that he will not need surgery to repair his rotator cuff, and that his biceps tendon seems to just need some rest. The better news is that he is willing to return to the bullpen, and fix the Bravos’ closer issues. With Peter Moylan likely lost for the year, and Rafael Soria...

 Future Braves centerfielder Jordan Schafer broke his silence yesterday in regards to his 50 game suspension for HGH use. Well, sort of. All he says is that he still can’t talk:
“It’s not what it seems,” Schafer told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in an exclusive interview at the team’s spring training complex. “It’s different, but I really can’t comment. I have to just let people think ...

Last week we told you to be on the lookout for Max Scherzer, a right handed pitcher in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ system. Well, yesterday the D-Backs recalled Scherzer from Triple-A Tuscon. It appears that he will be used primarily in relief for now, but with Edgar Gonzalez being milk I expect that he will be starting by mid-June at the latest. He’s a long shot to wind u...

It appears that Kaz Matsui has fully recovered from his anal fissure, and is beginning to tear it up for the Astros. He has only played in five games so far this season, but has already crossed the plate seven times and stolen two bases.

Let’s be honest here, no one was targeting Florida Marlins three bagger Emilio Bonifacio on draft day. Nobody. But now that the season is three games deep, Bonifacio is about to start jumping off the waiver wire. Dude already has eight hits, four stolen bases, one homer, six runs scored, and six RBIs. Throw in the fact that he is playing third, but eligible at second and he...
