Starters=Volatility


Cliff Lee - Again, this is why you should never waste a high draft pick on any pitcher, except Johan Santana. They are too volatile. They have too man ups and downs when it comes to performance and injury risk. Lee was lit up for 4ERs over 5IPed. If you were an owner who drafted Lee high because of his great CY Young year of 2008, I feel sorry for you.

Roy Halladay - On a positive note, Halladay came back from a rough first outing to get a win against the Indians. Owners who have Halladay should not worry and expect him to be another Cy Young contender this year. With Wells, Rios, Snider, and Lind swinging the bats, you might see Roy with a few more wins. Very scary!!!

BJ Ryan - Sticking with the Jays, the bullpen more specifically the closers role needs to be looked at. Ryan was torched for 3ERs over 0.1IPed. If you are a BJ owner, make sure to back him up with Scott Downs.

Hank Blalock - Two years of injuries seems to have given Hank some time to get back to raking. If Hank stays healthy he could be a sleeper in Texas this year. This guy has posted some great fantasy numbers in the past and if he continues stay healthy and hits behind Hamilton owners could see a 25/90 year from this once upon time fantasy staple.

Rocco Baldelli - For AL-Only, this guy should be on your roster. Seems to be healthy and swinging the bat and connecting.

Hank Blalock


The Rangers have picked up the option on Hank Blalock for $6.2million.

This is not the biggest news of the day but this is news since there would be some competition on where Blalock and Chris Davis should play. In eyes there is no battle for plate appearances because no matter what happens, Davis will play. This kid will produce and has the ability to hit 35-40HRs in upcoming seasons.

For all you fantasy owners out there, make sure to keep both players on your radar.

Chris Davis should be a solid late single round pick. I would even go out and try for him in the mid-late rounds (6,7,8). As for Blalock, he should be drafted late in the draft. Preferably mid to late teens.
