Morales is owned in 51% of leagues, but his .282-11-48 line on the year means he's underowned. He has 8 hits in his last 4 games and he hit 2 HRs and 6 RBIs on Tuesday night. If you need some decent pop from your 1B or CI, Morales is a nice addition.
Full Story »Paul Konerko (1B, CHW)
Konerko really does look his age this year. Even his back is going out on him. Despite the fact the White Sox won't trade him, Konerko isn't doing much to even generate interest from other teams. His .249-7-30 line on the year means that at 55% owned, he's highly overowned. Leave him for the deepest […]
Full Story »Scott Kazmir (SP, CLE)
Kazmir continues to defy his doubters by going 14 IP with an 11:1 K:BB ratio and just 1 ER allowed in his past 2 starts. He will absolutely get blown up here and there, but he's a fine addition in deep leagues if you need the K help and can stomach the occasional shellacking.
Full Story »Jayson Werth (OF, WAS)
Werth has been really hot recently, racking up 5 Runs and 6 RBIs over his past 3 games with 2 2Bs and a HR. Bryce Harper has given the Nats' offense a boost and Werth will be one of many beneficiaries. Pick him up if you need OF help as he's only 51% owned right […]
Full Story »Colby Rasmus (OF, TOR)
For a player with 15 HR and 42 RBIs over 271 ABs to only be owned in 26% of leagues, well, it tells you there's a nice opportunity there. If you can withstand Rasmus's putrid cold stretches, you'll be rewarded with nice short bursts of enormous production. He's a must-own in leagues with 4-5 OFs, […]
Full Story »John Lackey (SP, BOS)
How on earth is John Lackey owned in just 55% of Yahoo! leagues. In short, the guy has pitched like an ACE since joining the Sox rotation. He hasn't allowed more than 2 ER in his last 4 starts, he has a 79:18 K:BB ratio over 86.1 IP, and he has been utterly dominant at […]
Full Story »Brandon Beachy (SP, ATL)
Unless only 36% of you play with DL-slots, it's not understandable why Beachy isn't more owned in Yahoo! leagues. He's been a dominant pitcher whenever he's been healthy, and he's about to begin a rehab assignment. Expect him back by the end of June.

Rants from the seat of my pants: The Joe Mauer episode “I saw a commercial that said, "forget everything you know about slip covers!" So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slip covers, but I didn't know what the hell they were.” – Mitch […]

Full Story »Adam Laroche (1B, WAS)
Just as we predicted, Laroche snapped out of his funk with 2 HR over the past 5 days. Once the calendar turns to July, Laroche is a top-10 1B - if you endured the wait to this point, you can finally reap some rewards. At only 63% owned, he's available in more leagues than he […]
Full Story »Jhoulys Chacin (SP, COL)
Chacin is flying under the radar at 23% owned despite a relatively decent fantasy campaign thus far. Spectacular in April, the righthander struggled throughout May and into June, but he has righted the ship lately with three strong outings that have seen him allow just two earned runs over 23.2 innings with a ridiculous 18 […]
Full Story »Andrew Cashner (SP, SD)
Cashner has been pitching well, but his Ks are well down from the elite numbers he put up last year. His ERA and WHIP sit at a solid 3.31 and 1.17, but his 62 Ks in 92.1 IP make it tough to own him outside of deeper formats.
Full Story »Stephen Fife (SP, LAD)
The 6% owned Fife hasn't allowed more than 3 ER in his first 6 starts of the year, and has a 35:11 K:BB ratio over 41.1 IP in that timeframe. Consistency is hard to come by with young pitchers, and Fife also pitches for a hot LAD team in a great pitchers park. He's a […]
