Baseball. Blogging. Whenever.Friday, March 27, 2009Wieters Sent DownI felt a great disturbance in the fantasy baseball Force, as if millions of Matt Wieters owners cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced:The Orioles told top prospect Matt Wieters on Thursday that he will be reassigned to the Triple-A Norfolk roster effective Monday. I can only assume this is to mess with his arbitration clock. And I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing if were the Orioles' GM. As for the Wieters-owners in fantasy leagues: fear not. Based on the comically over-the-top projections for the guy, I can only assume that, though He is down now, He will rise again around Easter. Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 7:40am Comments

But when he sees his shadow, does that mean six more weeks of basketball? Posted 03/27 at 08:54 AM

Yeah, it’s an arb clock thing. I think if they wait like three weeks he gets an extra year. The thing you fantasy types need to watch out for is whether MacPhail will try to avoid super-two. If he waits until sometime until mid-June or so he can probably do that. But then again, it hardly seems like there’s a point. Wieters is gonna get paid by the Orioles at under market value (but still be a wealthy man) and then he’s gonna get paid by the Yankees when he hits free agency. Posted 03/27 at 10:31 AM

You probably would’ve said the same about Longoria this time last year… And anyway, I get that people expect Wieters to be great (believe me, I’d love to see it—I went to Tech with him), but it’s not a given.

Players that hadn’t made their major league debut were inexplicably left out of my Yahoo! friends league. Luckily, I have the #1 waiver priority; so Wieters is all mine. Posted 03/27 at 12:18 PM
