ESPN hits the reset button

Maybe that Bronson Arroyo/John Kruk/Peter Gammons rock and roll commercial wasn't such a good idea after all?

Due to all sorts of problems with its new software, ESPN is going to restart its fantasy baseball and everything that has happened over the last week really hasn't happened. If you have picked up players, traded players, or simply ignored your team during the first week of the season, it looks like whatever you have or haven't done won't matter.

Sometime tonight ESPN will:

1) Revert all teams to their opening day rosters (Sunday, April 1).
2) Set the starting lineup of each team's opening day roster as the active roster for all games played to date (April 1 - April 11).
3) Retroactively apply scoring for the entire season to date based on that roster.
4) Void all transactions to date (trades, waiver pickups, roster moves, etc.).

In other words the first week didn't really matter.

Tell that to A-Rod.
