Roster Moves - July 29th
FAAB Acquisition:
- 3B Casey Blake, Dodgers [$35 bid, add to actives]
Up:
- P Josh Johnson
- OF Steve Pearce
Down:
- 3B Chipper Jones
- P Joe Blanton
- OF John Bowker
Cut:
- OF Andruw Jones
Notes:
- This is the first week this season that the Atomic Roadrunners infield has been disrupted, here in Week 18. The core of Prince Fielder, Mark Teixeira, Chipper Jones, Jose Reyes, Brandon Phillips, and Ryan Theriot had not been interrupted this season. The catching situation has been remarkably stable as well, as Chris Iannetta replaced Javier Valentin in Week 4, and Chris Coste replaced Carlos Ruiz in Week 8.
- Former 2008 Roadrunner Matt Herges was released by Stanimals when he picked up John Grabow.
- I also bid $3 on Joel Hanrahan, who had been on my scout team since the pre-season, due to his scoreless innings streak in Spring Training. X-Men acquired him for $41 FAAB, as he is now the presumptive closer for the Nationals with the trade of Jon Rauch.
