Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Box Score
In this past week’s column at mlb.com I suggested that owners should reserve Kevin Brown if they could, because clearly something wasn’t right, but they probably shouldn’t drop him if they could avoid it.
As chance would have it, Brown pitched before I could special him, and did a fine job against Oakland. Will I special reserve him tomorrow?
I’m not ruling out the possibility. Oakland’s offense has been pathetic so far, and Brown avoiding trouble in a game against the A’s is hardly an endorsement.
So, if I find a reasonable alternative tomorrow (the only real choices are Pete Walker and Chien-Ming Wang) I’ll reserve Brown. But his next start will come in Oakland against these same hapless A’s, so I’m not going to get too aggressive. If I have to I’ll risk Brown another week.
