Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Paolo Espino, Rony Garcia, and the Strikeout Watch List

Yesterday's ladder list was perfect. All three ladders were set up, ready to go to the moon only to see the managers not live up to their end of the deal. We didn't get five guys in any lineup but we were still only one strikeout away from moonwalking with both Braxton Garrett and Dean Kremer. That's how we roll around here people. Kremer only got to face three guys from the target list and still almost put us in orbit. The thing is, these managers can't hide every day. At some point, they are going to slip up and throw us too many whiffers. When that happens, we'll be there to make them pay. That day could be today people.

Remember, when they are released, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups. If that happens, we can ladder these guys to the moon. Maybe further. If you don't see at least five guys in any of these lineups, abort mission. Leave the ladder there and move on to the next. Climbing a broken ladder just isn't smart.
