<div>I sort of get the offense for saves part, but I think Andy overpaid from that perspective. More importantly, why would a team that's going nowhere this year (K9) take on a long-term contract on a guy who's about one bad outing away from becoming a former closer? It's not as if Pestano will be a big enough bargain at $9 to offset Johnson's contract, if Pestano takes over the job. I think Andy screwed himself.</div>

<div>Meanwhile, looking at developments that may actually be relevant to the title chase, Ryan Madson's looking like toast:</div>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr>
<div class=report>Ryan Madson has experienced yet another setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.</div>
<div class=impact>Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man. <SPAN class=date>May 22 - 4:15 PM</SPAN></div>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<div>With Jeff and Block deadlocked in saves, and June 1 right around the corner, I feel a flurry of activity coming on.</div>

<div dir=ltr>I knew the league would appreciate the D. Adams pickup. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't largely motivated by exactly what Mr. Gammons pointed out- a Yankees player named D. Adams!</div>

<div>And I got budding Yankee ace Vidal Nuno. We don't share a name, but he's $45 cheaper than Happ and $36 less than Grimm!</div>
