Dr. Stat, waiver recipe: 13 Week
The doctor is here! Here are my weekly updates of the players who are likely available in your league and could be for your team.
Hitters
Casey Blake 1B/3B/perhaps SS and sell hot dogs, perhaps soon, Cleveland Indians
One can do more than grow a beard awesome (who looks like Gerard Butler in 300). Blake is a hit! Struck the last 409 weeks and 344 last month, with 4 H 18 and RBIs. This is a great utility player, even playing shortstop bike last week.
Fantasy Diagnosis: It reached a smoker, 422 Rizpah this season. Unfortunately, observations of killer whales in Lake Erie are more frequent than the Indians in Rizpah. Still waiting for Blake walk to the plate and stroked his beard and said: "Ghosts in the second." This game would mean two things. Once, While Envision players to base and get more hits. Two, I led the league in points (Imaginary IRBI is batted in). I never heard that? Checking months because Obscure Sports Quarterly.
Marcus Thames Detroit Tigers O
Is 9 hours to hit in June, including the section, where 7 hits in a row at home runs. In recent months, it is striking 271 to 11 hours, 19 RBIs and 15 homes.
Fantasy Diagnosis: This is the feast or famine, May 30 was the last game, in which RBI had to come from a home run. If it was not picked him up, he is in your best interest and at least add to its growth.
Jeremy Hermida: OF, Florida Marlins
We had great opportunities for him early in the season, and he was disappointed us big time. Feel free to light when striking, 293 this month, thanks to the 12-game hit streak. Last week, he hit, 381, 2 h, 4 and 5 runs RBIs. COB, and his OPS is the highest since mid-May
Fantasy Diagnosis: It is too early to say Hermida that he turned the corner, so the mood of your expectations. If you take it, remember two things. , Hitting 60 points higher against right-handers than left-handers. Two, hitting 90 points higher on the road than at home. So, this is a guy who wants to keep as the fourth outfielder and read numbers and comparisons.
Raul Ibanez: OF, Seattle Mariners
Unlike the guitar, it's not something you want to play much this season. While his numbers are down from power in last season groove in Nice, striking, 326 this month. Has 10 other Bass (get it? Sorry, could not resist) hits and 9 multi-hits games in June
Fantasy Diagnosis: His 20 RBI HR/100 days are gone, but he still hit. Now, when Seattle was just so bad. I prefer to watch Oprah, before strikes from Beltrami (, 241) and Sexson (, 217). Not exactly music to your ears.
Josh Willingham: DE, Florida Marlins
After missing 50 games with a herniated disk, Willingham came from the DL Tuesday. The 100-bats this season, it is striking , 320 to 6 hours, 17 RBIs, 16 runs and 2 stolen bases. This will hit cleanup in the batting order Marlins should have many ways to drive in the series.
Fantasy Diagnosis: Willingham had 26 hours and 74 RBIs in 2006, then 21 and 89 last year. Can hit for power and strikes an attractive place in order. The question now is play well, because it is unlikely that will play every day now.
Jugs
Zack Greinke: SP, Kansas City Royals
He has already won as many games as he did last year (7). Has 12 quality starts. Watch the combined figures for the last three starts: 20 innings, 2 wins, 4 ERA, 17 strikeouts, one walk. They are ace-like numbers.
Fantasy Diagnosis: It gave only 3 feet over 3 times in 16 starts. His K / BB + 2.4 It's time to put Greinke place on the list.
Matt Garza: SP, Tampa Bay Rays
Two of his three starts since his fight with small Dioner Navarro in the dugout were excellent. Threw a single punch course on Thursday against Florida. It removed 18 over his last 2 starts, evidence that the rate we are thinking about most of the season is back.
Fantasy Diagnosis: Rays are scoring runs, so Garza to win support for the days fighting. Its value was significantly increased with strikeouts and improved performance. It is most likely that the player in this column should always be available, add him if is.
Tim Wakefield: SP, Boston Red Sox
Yes, he is old enough, many of your fathers, but you know what? Leads Boston pitchers in quality starts (11) and has gone 6 straight starts where he went at least 7 innings. His June ERA is 2.31 and his BAA season is the lowest since seen 2002nd In the middle of the ball joint dueled Randy Johnson pitching the oldest in the history of confrontation in Fenway Park.
Fantasy Diagnosis: The numbers say it all in baseball, in this case, of course. Wake is still a valuable fantasy pitcher. You will not always itself for the BB ratio of K /, but it will get you started, and generally strong support made for victory. If you are behind victory vv Your roto league, forget the fact that almost 42 to get him.
Dave Bush SP Milwaukee Brewers
I 'm, including Bush, because there were some questions about it in his weekly chat on Wednesday and many of you probably looking in the league. His last 2 starts have been impressive and attract you. We want to believe that he has turned the corner, but it hurt us Last season, as bad pizza (high school, I had experience, never). We've seen these types of trips before Bush, and we know what's coming. Actually it is like playing Russian roulette with your fantasy pitching staff.
Fantasy Diagnosis: Call me a skeptic, but remain skeptical. Bush is the ultimate fantasy frustration. It will bring together some good starts in a row, then will come when you look. Save grief and avoid him. You get good starts from him here and there, but you can burn on the road. If you have to play Dangerous Dave Bush, noted that its average on the road is more than twice the average home.
To watch
Brian BÜSCHER: 3B/1B, Minnesota Twins
BÜSCHER Who the hell are you talking about? Prices this week. Most players probably my imagination Never heard of rookie Twins. In 13 games, since it is recalled from AAA-Rochester, is influenced by, 342, 1 HR, 14-point products and 10 executions. His statistics are cool, even when playing more, but 14 RBIs in 44 at-bats he deserves attention.
Eric Stults: SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
Two departures. 15 innings, including a complete game. 10 keys. 1 earned run. 2 walks. 8 strikeouts. 'Nuf said.
Joel Zumaya: RP, Detroit Tigers
Forever known as "unfortunate that cool Guitar Hero" Amateur Baseball, Zumaya Finally came the disabled list and pitched the 20th June. In section 2.2 innings, allowed 2 runs, walked 5 and struck 2nd After not start throughout the season, apparently had a little rust to shake his knees and resolve. If he can stay healthy and return to her 2006 form expressions (97 pieces in 83.1 IP), it will be an excellent fantasy option. Even better, it will be in line to succeed as Detroit closer Todd Jones.
LONG SHOT OF THE WEEK
Adam Lind: OF, Toronto Blue Jays
Toronto was high this boy for several years. It's 25 and was up and down over the past two seasons. New manager Cito Gaston has made it clear that Lind will play almost daily. During the last four games, was 5-14, 2 h, 4 RBI and 0 KS. With regular playing time, could easily Lind is a good option in deep leagues in the second half of the season.
