Rob Liebowitz with Jeff Erickson on Fantasy Focus on XM

Rob & Jeff discuss recent competitive auctions--sounds like you should take your vitamins & sharpen your reflexes for these things. Rob says next time when he's closed out of players he needs, he'll load up on good hitters. His site mastersball.com has now become fantasyball.com. Jeff discusses the Wily Mo Pena for Bronson Arroyo trade-- most would've hoped Wily Mo could be an everyday player somewhere, but Boston may not be it. He says Arroyo isn't bad, but will need to keep the ball on the ground in Great American ballpark. Also mentions LHP Matt Thornton goes from the Mariners to the White Sox for Joe Borchard, a one-time big prospect.

  • Small correction:

    Thornton went to the White Sox, for Joe Borchard (once a big-time prospect).

    Thanks, as always for listening and blogging.

  • Thanks very much, Jeff. I don't know
    how I got that, except maybe I was
    thinking about you getting Bronson
    Arroyo & a bit delusional as I was
    very happy he's gone from the AL East--altho I know you weren't thrilled about the news.

  • Re Arroyo: Like the idea of trading Pena for pitching help (especially when that means we don't trade Dunn or Kearns), not sure about the execution. Arroyo's strikeout rate dropped pretty badly last year, especially over the second half, and he wasn't having a good spring. He gives up a lot of flyballs, which is never a good thing in Cincy.
