Just a heads up on Troy Glaus. He hurt his knee and was limping the game before last night. He is a gamer and wanted to play the last game before the break. The team would just as soon that he sit this out and let the knee heal, but he wants to go. It's just that even if he did do well at the start, his leg would likely tire as the derby goes along. Just my FYI...good luck all...!!

And oh yeah...afterthought. Guys in the Derby are allowed money to bring their own practice pitchers if they want. Glaus said he would just take whoever happens to be there and was willing to throw to him.

I like Ortiz and Dye

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The odds on Ortiz have been beat down pretty good this late and aren't as attractive to me now. I'm putting a play on Tejada and Dye.


Good luck on the plays guys.

yanno, thanks for the info on Glaus. I didn't think highly of him initially. I'm putting prop bets on both Dye and Cabrera to hit more than Gluas.

Yanno, I also appreciate the info...but we all know the book know all of this info, and even more info that we will never know...They have dropped the price on him at WWTS from +1100, to +950 .... we know that the sharps move the line, not the public as many percieve, so I am even liking the play more as Glaus is now stated as limping and he still hit a home run last night..iI really have to say that a limp would scare me more in a real game where he has to run the bases, I dont see how it has much of an effect, unless its at a certain part of the leg, on him st anding still and smashing the ball....if he did it last night against complex MLB pitching with a limp, what could stop him from fastballs thrown straight down the plate, and he only has to pitch at what he likes...Im confident either Glaus, Howard (because of the lefty park advantage) or the hottest bat in the Majors in Wright right now will take it...thats just my 2 cents

hi vyrus, it's at a certain part of the leg alright, it's the knee...he knows he can't screw it into the ground and end his/Jays season trying to hit pointless homeruns...that's likely one reason he passed on taking his own BP pitcher with him...for him, and the Jays, it's just fun...if you have money on it, it may not be...but that's only my take
