Embree looks worthless right now: Casey Kotchman greeted Alan Embree (1-3) with a ground-rule double leading off the eighth Tuesday. The 15-year veteran, who won a World Series ring with Boston in 2004, had a career-high 17 saves last season while Huston Street was on the DL. "Alan's been great the last couple of years for us, so we definitely were confident going into the eighth inning," Mark Ellis said. "But you've got to give them credit, though. They put together some good at-bats against a tough pitcher." (Updated 07/02/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Embree has allowed 12 earned runs in 16 innings over his past 19 appearances since May 13, after posting a 2.60 ERA in his first 20 appearances. Clearly, he is nothing more than a low-end middle reliever for the deepest of AL-only leagues that use true middle men right now. (Updated 07/02/2008).
