Batista awful for Mariners Saturday: Seattle starter Miguel Batista didn't pitch very well on Saturday against the Indians in a losing effort. Batista fell to 4-11 as he allowed seven hits and eight runs in just two innings of work. He walked one and had two strikeouts. His ERA is 6.98 on the season. (Updated 07/19/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Batista may be bound for the bullpen again after another poor start. He gave up the first five hits to start the third and matched his career high with eight earned runs allowed in two-plus innings. Batista has not won as a starter since May 11 and his only win in the last two months came two weeks ago in a relief appearance against Detroit. If Batista does make the move to the 'pen, consider him nothing more than an AL-only middle relief option in leagues that use them. (Updated 07/19/2008).
