THT Daily: Big seriesby Dave StudemanApril 27, 2009 Major League News for April 27Player News Yesterday’s Results Today’s Games Standings Top Minor League Performances You can always find the most recent THT Daily at http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/content/thtdaily/ Player NewsPlayer Headlines are courtesy of RotoworldChris Getz has a fractured bone in the tip of his right middle finger and could land on the disabled list. Getz was hurt before Saturday's game. If he lands on the DL, the White Sox would activate Jayson Nix to share time at second base with Brent Lillibridge. Gordon Beckham isn't yet an option, according to manager Ozzie Guillen, and it's clear that Guillen doesn't trust Wilson Betemit at second base.

Each "up" bar is a victory and a "down" bar is a loss. There are horizontal lines for home games and red bars represent games decided by two runs or less. "PWins" is short for Projected Wins, based on each team’s Run Differential, and is often a better measure of a team’s true strength.
