Jeff Erickson back on XM with Fantasy Focus

Jeff is back with his daily show at noon eastern and hosts Will Carroll today. Known for his work on assessing injuries and risks, points out heredity can be a factor in tissue injuries. Cites JD Drew as a possible example & would look at brother Stephen Drew to see if any familial correlation. (Jeff notes JD has had a number of fluke or bad luck type injuries as well). Both are high on Justin Verlander but say he has risk this year. Will: delivery mechanics, too many innings pitched, playoffs, and history of nagging arm problems. General rule, 50% of all pitchers will break down within 3 years, even with seemingly small things like blisters or sore thumbs. Jeff mentions XM Sports Nation has a fantasy baseball show on daily 3-4PM, which he's hosting for the next week or 2 in its regular host's absence. Great to hear Jeff's show again.
