Notes

Emilio Bonifacio - Adds to his to steals total. Now has 4 steals for the young year. Steals is a category in fantasy and this guy is someone you should throw into you OF or UTIL spot. Ride the hot hand and see what it can give you.

Closers - I preach grabbing a solid closer or two in the draft early so you can make sure you don't have to worry about saves throughout the year. Here is my proof. What did the elite guys do when during the first couple of days. Check out Nathan, F-Rod, Papelbon, Lidge, and Broxton do? Exactly, if you didn't grab an elite closer or two, it'll come back and haunt you through hours of looking up saves and monitoring closers.

Jeter - Looks fine in the lead off position so far. Hope it continues. He even gave you a stolen base and a home run. Not too shabby.

Koji Uehara - Threw 5 innings against the Yanks and only allowed 1ER. Very solid start to his MLB career. This is a decent option for a 4th starter in mixed leagues. I'm not too high on him though. If he has a few good quality starts, try and find a Japanese loving fantasy owner and deal him off.

Brandon Lyon - If you have him as a closer well that sucks. Make sure to have Zumaya on your DL because he is going to return and be the closer. Lyon is terrible. Simple as that.

Zumaya, Guardado, Gagne

Joel Zumaya of the Tigers is back and with his 100MPH heat, he should be on all fantasy rosters for his ability to give owners huge strikeout totals. See if he is out there on the wire.

Eddie Guardado of the Rangers is still pitching and has shown that he can still do it at his age. This former closer has the ability to close when given the chance and with the problems in the Texas bullpen owners should grab Guardado just in case there is a change in closers. With CJ Wilson holding the closers role at the moment, owners who have Wilson should hedge your bets with Guardado.

Eric Gagne of the Brewers is going to return after finishing a rehab stint in the minors. When he returns he is not going to the closer, Torres holds that role, but since the Brewers are paying him $10million for his services, don't expect the Brewers to make a switch the second Torres falters. Currently, I have Gagne and I'm going to stash him on my bench to see if he can return and provide some quality innings, I don't enjoy him pitching 0.1 innings and giving up 5ER's.
