Braun Busted

Ryan Braun, our national league MVP was busted for having a illegal substance in his system.  A report also came out later yesterday that stated that Brauns testosterone levels were double of any other player that has taken the test.  Braun is going to appeal the suspension, but it doesn't look good for him or owners who wanted to take him in the first round this year.  There have been a couple of moves over the weekend that stand out.  Aramis Ramirez went to the Brewers, also Trevor Cahill was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks Collin Cowgill and some other prospects.  These two deals are good moves for both Cahill and Ramirez.  Cahill moving from the American league to the national league always helps and Ramirez is going to a better lineup even if Fielder isn't in it. 

One more thing I wanted to say real quick that doesn't involve fantasy baseball really but baseball in general.  Being a Chicago White Sox fan i am not to happy with Kenny Williams at the moment.  For those of you who don't know that's the White Sox general manager.  I understand he wants to rebuild, and to be honest I am OK with that if it happen before last season.. The main reason for that is because we just wasted a lot of money on a player we had no right in getting if rebuilding was looming.  Adam Dunn is now stuck here for at least another 3 seasons and putting that with a couple other horrible contracts it will make rebuilding rather hard right now.  I am a die hard White Sox fan, but even the most loyal fans are going to struggle to not turn there TVs off early this year with the product we will have on the field when Williams is finally done with his fire sale. 

The fantasy baseball season has sometime to go but i know we are all waiting for that time to come.  Pitchers and catchers report in two short months and I know all of us will be looking forward to when that happens.  Until then we will all have to sit and wait and try to guess where the next big fish will land.  My guess is Fielders goes to either the Chicago Cubs or the Seattle Mariners.  What do you guys think?
