Roto venting

Players on a Rotisserie team have a strange penchant of all going into a slump at the same time, even though they're scattered all around real-life baseball.

In the Whiners Rotisserie League (Since 1989), I ended the second week of the season in first place, which was a nice surprising considering I'd paid bargain-basement prices for pitching.

Then came starts the past two days by Jeff Francis (5 innings, 7 earned runs), Chuck James (5 inn., 3 ER), Adam Wainwright (6 inn., 4 ER) and Matt Belisle (5 1/3 inn., 5 ER).

Suddenly, the inexpensive pitching doesn't seem like a good idea, particularly considering Dan Uggla and Miguel Cabrera went a combined 0-for-10 for Florida last night.

It's going to be a long season.

Trivia question 21:
Who is the only Rookie of the Year who later won Cy Young and Most Valuable Player awards?
