There are changes happening today and some that are happening tomorrow. Today the DET stock is being closed. Their lack of pitching and upcoming schedule make them not very attractive. In its place an anti-Nationals stock is being opened. The plan at this point in time is to run this stock through 9/18/08. This of course is subject to change.

Beginning tomorrow the NYM stock will be closed as the Mets enter a tough part of their schedule and to be honest, the Mets scare me. Also, with as good as the NL East is, the Mets can play just above .500 ball and they will still be in the hunt. So don’t take the closing of the stock as an indictment of the Mets, it is merely a statement that I believe there is better value out there.

The value I see beginning tomorrow is the Yankees. With the addition of the Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte the Yankees made themselves better. Their pitching staff has also seemed to right the ship. All around they are playing with confidence and should they add Jarod Washburn then they will have done all the things they can to get ready for a run. The current plan with the NYY stock is to open it tomorrow and run it through 8/24/08.

In summary, DET is closed effective immediately. Today the plays will by NYM, COL, MIL and LAD (WAS opponent). The NYM stock will close after today and tomorrow will open the NYY stock. The plan with MIL is to run it through 8/31/08 and with COL to run it through 9/7/08. Additionally, LAA is possible to open on 8/12/08.
