so they just made a big deal about getting Bush back for the Raiders

I just picked him up after my fantasy draft. Someone surely made a mistake.

He could have been out for six weeks or he could have just missed a game.

He may even play in the opener.

That's awesome.

Who are your other four? My fifth running back is Fred Jackson. My league starts three.

Michael Turner, Cedric Benson, Jahvid Best and LT

I had Montario Hardesty but dropped him for Bush.

Oh yeah

Somebody dropped him but LT may be motivated and is a starter who can fill-in if someone is injured. My draft went perfectly this year. I got Palmer and Favre for QB’s, Calvin Johnson and Colston for WR’s…

How many wide receivers, quarterbacks and tight ends do you guys start?

We start four wide receivers and two quarterbacks and tight ends each.

in the 2 one I have Stephen Jackson and Mendenhall.

I drafted my quarterbacks after my wide receivers, running backs and tight ends.

I have Carson Palmer, Kyle Orton and Jason Campbell at quarterback. I’ll change Orton and Campbell weekly. At tight end, I have Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis so that’s all kinds of awesome.

I don't know about Mendenhall.

I picked him up last year as a sleeper and he worked out great, but I think defenses will key on him this year. I had a shot at him in the draft but went with Cedric Benson instead.

I shouldn't even talk, I'm rolling with Bradshaw as the second RB and McFadden as the backup.

He's done some starting in his career

Particularly last year. Don’t know if he’s stretched out enough right now to do it, though.

What a weird 5th starter to have, though. Just some guy you plucked out of the indie leagues for an injury replacement.

Good God, I thought he was in the low 90s

I’m much less skeptical.

Yeah, I thought it was low 90s too.

If he threw 95 with a good slider, he wouldn’t have been in an indie league in the first place.

Well

According to this article, he recently rediscovered 8 MPH on his fastball.

actually

it would be more accurate to say that he lost 30 pounds when he decided not to play linebacker in college

he was 8mph slower, which is why he was in an indie league

it’s all explained in slusser’s drumbeat

he sounds like he could be the real deal: farhan’s guy, found by bittiger, known as the sheriff, i’m ready to give him vin’s spot in the rotation just based on that.
