Oakland's 5th Starter
I saw a day or two ago after Godfrey threw in relief that it was likely Travis Blackley would get the ball on Monday. Now after Godfrey was optioned back to the minors today, Rotoworld is saying Monday's starter is unknown. I took a look at the A's site and ESPN and they both say undecided for Mon. Brad Peacock is suppose to pitch tonight for Sacramento (9pm EST). Something to keep an eye on before finalizing any FAAB bids tonight (if he is available in your league). Obviously if he is scratched he is likely getting the call.

Assuming it is still Blackley and the RW reports were provided by 2 different stringers and it was not caught by the editor.

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

....from the A's site
OAKLAND -- A's manager Bob Melvin gave positive reports all week on the health of Graham Godfrey after the right-hander was bothered by soreness in his right middle finger in his start on Tuesday, indicating that Godfrey would likely make his next scheduled start on Monday.
But when Godfrey appeared in relief in Oakland's 9-2 loss to New York on Saturday, it was evident that wouldn't be the case. Melvin announced after the game that left-hander Travis Blackley would instead get the nod on Monday at Minnesota.
Melvin said the decision was based partly on Godfrey's struggles and partly on Blackley's success with Oakland. Godfrey has a 6.43 ERA in five appearances this season and was roughed up by the Yankees for three runs (two earned) on five hits on Saturday.
