P.M. Update: Fuentes named closer

Breaking news for those in need of saves.

The Colorado Rockies have given up on the Manny Corpas Project, giving Brian Fuentes back the closer job he lost to Corpas in 2007.

Corpas (7.50 ERA/1.58 WHIP) has been guilty of giving up a lot of crooked numbers lately, blowing three of his last four save chances, all in the past week.

Unfortunately, as a fellow Corpas owner, this doesn't sound like a temporary move either, so feel free dropping Corpas for Fuentes, if you don't have an obvious drop.

BIG HURT PLAYING: Recently released from Toronto, Frank Thomas has been signed by the Oakland A's and is starting at designated hitter today. It's unclear who loses at-bats here. Jack Cust may lose some DH at-bats. Cust has 25-HR power and despite being defensively challenged could still get a lot of time in left field, but he has to start hitting his weight (currently at .161). Other Oakland OF will probably lose at-bats for those in AL-only leagues. Especially after signing Raja Davis.

LIRIANO ROCKED: For all those looking at Liriano as a great comeback player of the year contender....um....probably not. Liriano gave up 5 hits, 3 BB and 6 ER in the first inning at Oakland this afternoon, knocking the lefty out of the game after 2/3 of an inning. Sounds like he can't find the plate and his velocity was sporatic at best. In deeper mixed leagues without bench spots, it's time to let go.

GOMEZ HOMERS: Twins speedster Carlos Gomez led off the game with a home run off Greg Smith. Gomez actually has 18 career minor league HR in just under 1,300 at-bats, so Gomez could come close to double digits in HR. Think poor man's Jose Reyes.
