Oakland A’s: Jack Cust
 
Jack had 3 HRs this week, but only 4 RBIs while he hit .500 with an OBP of .600 and he scored 6 runs (3 of which came on his 3 HRs).
A close second to Cust was Pirate’s RF Xavier Nady who went homerless this week but also scored 6 runs while […]

My vote goes to the Arizona Diamondback’s Micah Owings. He’s probably one of my favorite pitchers of the past two years, but I don’t get to see him play much being from the east coast. To go along with his much improved performance on the mound so far this year (4-0 with a 3.48 ERA […]

Swinging for the Stars!
This week’s hot hitter was by far, Houston 1B Lance Berkman. As you can see below, he hit for a BA over .400, OBP over .500 while hitting 4 HRs, 12 RBIs & even a SB!
Rounding out the top 5 hot hitters for week 4 would be the Ranger’s 5-tool CF Josh […]

D’Backs 1B Conor Jackson
 
This week was a tough selection, but with 10runs scored, 3 HRs, 10 RBIs to go along with a BA of .480 and an OBP of .519, Conor just edged out the Tiger’s Miguel Cabrera, the Phillies’ 2B Chase Utley and Boston’s Manny Ramirez.
Cabrera had more RBIs (11), Utley had more HRs […]

Since the beginning of the 2007 season you can no longer listen to games online via your local radio station. Instead, you have to have an MLB GameDayAudio account, but the radio is still FREE. I just can’t get radio stations at work when games are played during the day in the early stages of […]

Who’s Hot: 
Team    POS   Player         BA/HR/RBI/SB/OBP/SLG/OPS/Comments
Phillies   2B     Chase Utley .412/3/6/0/.522/1.000/1.522/Can Utley follow in the footsteps of teammates Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins and be the third Phillie in a row to win the NL MVP award? This quick start might be a foreshadowing of what’s to come.
 
D’Backs RF     Justin Upton .400/3/3/0/.429/.850/1.279/After a first […]

Detroit’s Magglio Ordonez was more than 20 points better than the nest best RF in 2007, but don’t expect him to have a repeat performance in 2008. He may hit over .300, but probably not over .340 again. He HR totals can be reached, but the R and RBI totals may be a stretch in […]

Put Me In Coach, I’m Ready to Play…Centerfield
No one is head and shoulders above the rest, but if healthy all of last year, the Mets’ Carlos Beltran might have been! Instead, he’s one of the top three Centerfielders that are all within 10 points of each other. Those three were Beltran, the D’Backs Eric Byrnes […]

AL East
Baltimore Orioles
C - Ramon Hernandez: He had an injury plagued year in 2007 and it had to affect his numbers. He usually hit better than they were last year. I expect him to bounce back in 2008 if healthy.
1B - Kevin Millar: Fantasy owners might appreciate that Millar is also available as a DH, […]
