Winn and Molina

Randy Winn and Bengie Molina of the Giants are both swinging the hot bat.

Winn, since May 2, has hit safely in every game but 5 and has raised his average from .261 to .301 over that span. In his past 10 games he has 6 multi-hit games. Winn is a streaky hitter and with his ability to sprinkle a few SB's and HR's give owners a nice option for the immediate future. Winn should be owned in all leagues.

Molina, since May 2, has raised his average from .283 to .332 and has been a huge surprise in the fantasy world so far this year. With the top five catchers (Posada, Martin, V-mart, Mauer, and McCann) not all producing in fantasy land, Molina was an absolute steal in drafts--so far. I would tell you to grab Molina but he's gone in all league formats. For owners, keep him and don't trade him unless you get a big return because he should get all the opportunities in the world batting 4th in the Giants lineup to pick up RBI's, as long as he continue to hits.

Big Bengie

Bengie Molina of the Giants is batting clean-up, yes you read that right CLEAN-UP. This just shows how terrible a lineup the Giants have walking into the batters box but for fantasy players, you should take note.

The catching position sucks and since Molina is a catcher and batting 4th you might find some value. Here is my reasoning. Every team, no matter how bad they are, will score around 700-750 runs. So, that's 700-750 RBI's/RUNS. Since Molina is batting 4th, he should see some nice opportunities to drive in some runners.

At this point in time, fantasy owners should only be picking him up for monday/thursday match-ups to use the allocated games for the catching position. But if he continues to swat HR's, 2 so far this season, he would be a decent, not great, fit in someones fantasy team.
