Brad Lidge was just placed on the Prior List (the 15 day variety) because of a knee sprain.  One has to immediately wonder how much of this is his knee, and how much of it is getting him a mental break.  His knee has been a problem in the past, so it seems pretty legit to me.

Look for Ryan Madson to get the bulk of the 9th inning work while Lidge is on the shelf.  Go ahead and see if he is available in your league, and if he is, find a more competitive one to join.  With Lidge already having six blown saves on the year and an ERA of 7.27 it was pretty clear that something is wrong with Lidge.  Hopefully he has not done too much damage to his psyche as well (see the end of his tenure in Houston).

This also increases the value of roider J.C. Romero, who should take over the 8th inning duties and be in line for some spot saves or cheap wins.

Remember J.C. Romero?  We all know dude is sitting out his 50 game suspension for PEDs right now.  Well, it looks like he is suing the company that produces 6-OXO Extreme, the supplement he took that contained androstenedione, which is what got Romero tested positive for and was rightly suspended.  Good for him, it is the right move.  You know what would have also been the right move, J.C.?  Waiting for MLB to test said supplement before popping it, especially when your trainer tells you as much.  Enjoy the rest of your time off!
