Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Game 121 Overflow II


Let me get this straight -- Tony went w/ LaRue over Yadi b/c LaRue provides "veteran leadership" (Yadi's not a veteran and doesn't provide leadership?); went w/ Ankiel over Rasmus after his homer last night but sat Rasmus yesterday after his homer Sunday; and chose Greene over DeRosa based on the fact that Greene had 7 hits in 12 career ABs against Billingsley? Hmmm....
