Streaking Hitters Going into May 14th- 20th
I endorsed Ryan Doumit and Yonder Alonso early this week, and they haven’t come close to slowing down. Doumit has been as good as any Fantasy Cacther and Alonso has been a top First Base option this past week. Now, it is only fair to note that I leaned against Josh Reddick and he has not slowed down either, but I do believe that pitchers will figure him out and his impact will be limited in the future. If you own Reddick, I’d be selling high, while I feel that it is a sign of things to come for Doumit and Alonso.
Here are some other candidates to consider adding.
Allen Craig
- If he isn’t gone in your league add him right now. He may have to fight for playing time here and there, but he also has some position flexibility and he is a professional hitter who cannot stay out of the lineup long. He is surrounded with injury prone players in St. Louis so there will be plenty of at bats to keep his hungry bat feed. He was along with Doumit and Alonso for me a few days ago but I assumed he was being snatched up across the board already. Two Steps: 1. Click Add 2. Sit Back and Enjoy.
Danny Esponisa
- Until Friday Danny Esp hadn’t knocked in a run since the 2nd game of the season, and has looked lost for most of the year. His struggles really date back to the second half of last season, but suddenly he has three homers in his past two games, and might be ready to get back to the power-speed game we saw this time last season. It is a risky because he fans with the best of them, but his value is at an all time low, and he has shown he is a legit fantasy starter in the past. Roll the dice if are weak at 2nd or have bench options.
Andy Dirks
- Dirks is battling a sore hammy right now, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing him down. He has been batting in the two hole lately and that means that he has some huge bats behind him. With Austin Jackson looking better than ever in front of him, it is a great situation for Andy. Add him, but just beware that he might fight for some playing time here and there. No risk here though, add Dirks for OF help.
Paul Goldschmidt
- It has been a disappointing start to the season for the young slugger, but the signs are there that he is almost ready to kick the funk and get some solid production going. Gibson has been patient with him in the desert and hopefully down the stretch he’ll be a must start option. I would buy low on Goldschmidt across the board, as long as you have some bench space to afford the luxury to wait on him until he fully gets going. He is hitting above .300 in May - and has actually doubled his .193 Batting Average from April.
Sean Rodriguez
- Sean has a 12 game hitting streak going, and although his numbers aren’t startling along the way, he is going to play, and depending on league settings has 2B, SS and now 3B status. Rodriguez was a hyped sleeper a few years back out of Spring Training and has been red hot at times in the past. He is a nice bench option - similar to once red hot, now cooling Mike Aviles. Rodriguez batted second last night and is settling into a nice groove.
Brandon Inge
- We have seen this hot streak from Inge in the past, he was the joke of Fantasy Baseball just two weeks ago as a Tiger, but how things can change. Inge is a veteran who has some position eligibility, with the third baggers out thus far this season he might be a valuable pick up. Inge went 0 for last night, and today he faces Verlander - yikes - so there are reasons to keep tabs on him before clicking add. Inge might flop again, but right now he is as hot as anyone in baseball.

Good team except the contracts
Today
at 03:09:09 PM
Daddy
:
Youve seen them? We havent completely structured all that yet. Weve got expansion and other factors that the real Wolves dont face.
Today
at 03:39:40 PM
Daddy
:
My comment on the real Wolves are if they win a chip then there is no such things as bad contracts. The point of all contracts are to win Championships.

I will be around the rest of the day to talk deals. Tomorrow I will be around after work but plan on being in some spreadsheets most the day

@Rhino7 the rumor is they've got a decent GM in both leagues. Especially NBA LIVE. (Howwwwwwwl)
Today

STLBlues91

Well Vegas is ready to grab one of the players on the roster
Today
at 07:17:34 PM
Daddy
:
Lol, Seattle too Im sure.
Today
at 07:43:10 PM
Daddy
:
I will leak this... Each team will be allowed to protect 5 and each team can only lose one player to expansion
Today
at 07:44:21 PM
Daddy
:
30 teams to draw from = 15 players each
Today
at 07:44:57 PM
STLBlues91
:
Id also imagine trading and all that can happen. Like pick a guy to trade to another team to pick up other assets
Today
at 07:45:25 PM
Daddy
:
You know LIVE rules. Once they are yours you can do whatever you like.
Today
at 07:46:32 PM
STLBlues91
:
Yeah had to just check. So a deadline to select the keepers. Then a few days for the selection. Me and Seattle alternate picks?
Today
at 07:47:47 PM
Daddy
:
The expansion draft is LIVE alternating picks until both teams have 15 players like the NBA All Star teams get picked.

Today
