I hope you don't think I'm doing a BTO theme today with that title. I'm not Homer. When it comes to Canadian rock they are not my cup of tea, I'm a Guess Who fan. You know, the band where the "B" in BTO came from. The band loved in Almost Famous by Lester Bangs (played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman). Seriously, Live at the Paramount is one of my favorite live albums. From Pain Train to Sour Suite, the album hits it on lots of levels for me. Speaking of sour/sweet, I made a trade for Howie Kendrick this week by giving up Jason Grilli. Sweet! Now Howie's got uncertain knee issue... Sour! Which leads me to my creeper pick, Justin Turner, and the opportunities that Mattingly can't ignore. His usage patterns leave me very sour while the production of these "part-time players" is sweet! He said he doesn't want to run Turner into the ground, unlike his bullpen, which Donny feels a need to regularly run into the ground. Yimi was such a beautiful creature of K/9. So please, take his usage with a bit of caution this week as I tell you to own him and get him in your line-up. But be careful of the sour/sweet.
