Free Agent Watch: Rich Aurilia
Clearly, Aurilia is done with the Giants and many believe the 38-year-old should just call it a day. In fact, he was reportedly pondering retirement, but now has other plans. Aurilia says he’s okay accepting a bench role in order to continue his career. No kidding? Um, I doubt you have any other option at this point, Rich.

Fantasy Notes: Cheap Speed?
Could that be enough for him to have some value? It’s a stretch, no doubt. Burriss’ big problems are a complete lack of extra-base pop and an inability to hit righties. He’s a switch hitter, but perhaps he should just abandon the whole batting left thing, as he managed just a 510 OPS against righties.

The Wire Troll: “Thank”ful Edition
Alas, now it really is time to see which players I have been thankful for on my teams. One or two of these guys may even still be available in your league. I saw a lot of players that are still on waiver wires that should not be this weekend. Maybe a blue light special from K-Mart is needed for everyone to alert them to the potential feast that is just waiting for them if only they would take a look.

Fantasy Hockey Roundtable: Whose D Reigns Supreme?
Jovo finished last season with just 36 points in 82 games. It was a decidedly disappointing season for him and I expected it to continue. But this season, he has 13 points in his first 16 games and a 15-goal campaign doesn’t seem out of reach.
