Burnett worth it?

AJ Burnett - This guy sure does know how to pitch, just as long as he's healthy and not on the DL. The guys who took a chance on AJ are cashing in big time so far in his two starts. I still don't see him lasting the whole season. His record shows that he's vulnerable to injury. I would ride his hot hand and see where it leads but if he does string together 5-8 quality starts, I wouldn't blame you if you decided to cash in for some guys that can help you in other roto stats.

Scott Downs - If you need a guy who can give you help in all your pitching stats, look no further than Downs.

Chris Carpenter - I love this guy but only problem is he seems to enjoy spending time on the DL. He has a strained ribcage and will most likely head to the DL. Owners, do not panic just yet. Make sure you wait until more info is released. This guy still has it, proven by his amazing performance in his first outing. Just too good to drop.

Andruw Jones - With all the money in the world for doing nothing but stinking it up on the field, it seems Jones has found his stroke. Ok, I shouldn't go that far since he's only appeared in two games. But in those two games he's posted a 5-8, 1HR, 4RBIs, and a 1-to-1 BB to K ratio. If you have room why not pick him up and stash him for a bit. The Rangers lineup is a place where someone could easily get some sweet pitches to hit.

Travis Hafner - Guy seems to have found a comfort zone. 3HRs and 6RBIs so far. Owners who took a chance are smiling. Only problem is he is UTIL only. Not a fan, unless he is hitting 30-100 for the year.

Hafner

Travis Hafner of the Indians has landed himself on the 15-Day DL after suffering from a sore right shoulder. After going for 28, 33, 42 HR's for 2004, 2005, and 2006 respectively he has declined dramatically over the past two seasons.

In my eyes, this is a great chance for Hafner to recover physically and mentally because he has absolutely looked miserable at the plate. Owners who took a chance and drafted him fairly high this year have seen him produce nothing for you so this stint to the DL, hopefully, will turn this season around for Hafner. Honestly, I don't believe Hafner is the 35+HR and .300AVG hitter he was 3 years ago. I would try to sell this hitter ASAP.
