Good morning, today I'm going to focus on catchers. If you're still waiting on Kenji Johjima, Ivan Rodriguez, or Victor Martinez to wake up this season, here's a few catchers to look at:
Jerrod Saltalamacchia: The bat is starting to pick up, in his last 6 games hes got 2HR, 7RBI, and he's gone 10-for-24. He will hit between .280 and .300 and could knock 15-20HR. Don't hang on to a Kenji Johjima or Ivan Rodriguez if Salty is available in your league.
Good morning everyone, in todays blog I'm going to talk about some pitchers that are available in a lot of leagues, that you have to pick up.
Jesse Litsch: Continues to be the best pitcher on one of the best staffs. He's now 7-1 with a 3.18 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. in 10 starts, he's got 9 walks. He's not getting a lot of K's, because he pitches to contact. But he'll help you out in the other categories. He's getting a lot of attention now, so he might not be available in your league still, but if he is go get him...and don't wait untill the day before his next start, because I guarantee you that other owners have him in mind too.
Good Thursday morning everyone, here are your deep FA/Waiver pickups for the day:
Ian Stewart: Finally getting in the Rockies lineup, played last night at 2B. He could be there regularly and if he does, he'll end up with MI and CI elegibility.
Greg Maddux: I know I said to leave him be a few days ago, but he's starting against the Giants. There are few starts worth picking him up, this is one of them.
Ok, let's hope that today goes better than yesterday & I don't lose all my work right before the end...
Jay Bruce:
What a night last night! I've been telling you all to get him...if you didn't shame on you. Yahoo alone had 64,205 pickups yesterday. He was Baseball Americas #1 prospect going into this season & he was backing it up with his minor league numbers. He's the kind of talent that doesn't come along every season, and if you picked him up in a keeper league, all the better.
Ok, so I was almost finished with this thing, and through the magic of computers, I lost it all, so this is going to be short and to the point.
Pick ups:
Jay Bruce: Being called up today
Kevin Kouzmanoff: He's crushing the ball right now, if you need 3B/CI help pick him up.
Pedro Feliz: 15 for his last 31, on track to put together a nice season. Get him if you need 3B/CI
Jesse Litsch: Walked just one batter in his last 6 appearances. He leads the Blue Jays staff in wins with 6.
