A Few Things to Take Note of...

CC Sabathia of the Brewers is still cruising after being traded from the Indians. He is now 6-0 with his new team and has, alone, completely turned my one of my fantasy teams from being a bottom feeder to a contender. I don't see him turning into a terrible pitcher, like his start to the season, but if you are pretty solid in pitching but need some help in hitting go out and see if you can grab one of those great bats out there. Guys like Hanley, Wright, A-Rod, Holliday, and Sizemore are guys that should be in your trade negotiations.

Billy Wagner of the Mets is still recovering from a left arm strain and should be coming back from the DL when he is scheduled to but you never know with arm injuries. The bullpen is kind of in trouble so if you are in dyer need of saves look to Heilman or Kunz but at this moment your guess is as good as anyones since their bullpen sucks!

Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs has hit his 3rd HR of the season.

A-Rod of the Yankees is struggling but if you are in need of a hitter see if you can grab him from a disgruntled owner. You won't get him on a HUGE significant discount but you might find it a little easier to grab him.

Mike Aviles of the Royals continues to hit. In his past ten games he has raised his AVG from .314 to .341 while collecting 21Hs with 2HRs. This is a guy you want on your team RIGHT NOW!

The Big Z

Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs is now on the 15-Day DL with a strained right shoulder. This is good news, yes there is good news, because it was not anything structural which would cause the ace of the Cubs rotation to miss a lengthy period of time on the DL. Expect Zambrano back after the 15 days.

Owners, this isn't too much to worry over except for the fact it might turn into something serious but at this point it doesn't seem likely he will miss more than the allotted 15 days. If are in search of a pitcher I would usually suggest the player who is replacing the injured player but in this case, Sean Marshall, a lefty pitcher won't do you any good.

This is a good time to attack some of your categories. Lower you ERA/WHIP by picking up some RP. Remember, I always preach this, try to lower your ERA/WHIP before you pitch too many innings since it is easier to move the ERA/WHIP numbers now compared to September and August.
