The KaraBlog is back! And a lot has changed since the last time I wrote in this space. For instance … Albert Pujols single-handedly put a few Padres on the DL … the Dodgers and Reds called up potential rookie of the year candidates … the two Florida teams zoomed into first place … seemingly half the Rockies went on the disabled list … Alex Rodriguez came off it … starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis became a relief pitcher and relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain is becoming a starting pitcher … and of course, colleague Matthew Berry is now wearing a gold lamé thong. So much has happened, and apparently not all of it was good.
But not everything changed. For example, the American League, it still stinks.
OK, I shocked you with that one, and I guess I'm revisiting a topic from April in which I bemoaned the lack of fantasy studs in the AL, as the Player Rater showed most of the fine performances were happening in the NL. Hey, I don't know which league will win the All-Star Game or the World Series, but it's a totally different argument. For fantasy baseball, where individuals take control, the AL has been kinda lame this season. And I mean lame, not lamé, like Berry's … well, you know.
