![]() John Buck Victor Martinez is officially on the 15-day DL with a fractured thumb. So far this has been the year of the thumb injury, from Aramis Ramirez to Jason Heyward now to Victor Martinez. Martinez's is a bit different though with an actual fracture unlike A-Ram and Heyward's bruises. V-Mart will be the hardest to fill in a weak catcher position. Here is a list of catchers owned in less than 50% of Y! Leagues, who are hopefully available for you on the waiver wire. They aren't great, but beggars can't be choosers... John Buck 48% owned in Y! Leagues25 R / 13 HR / 40 RBI / .265 Don't overlook Buck. If you are a win-now kinda of fantasy player, then having Buck on your team may very well benefit you over a big name guy like Weiters. Buck's problem has always been hitting for a decent average and so far he's about 30 points above his career numbers. With three multi-homer games already, he could easily hit 25 by seasons end (he's already halfway there with 13 and leads the league for catchers). Buster Posey 48% owned in Y! Leagues10 R / 1 HR / 10 RBI / .293 The rookie sensation has cooled off since his stellar start, watching his average drop 60 points in the past 10 games. Even with the drop-off Posey will find his groove again and when not starting as catcher will play 1B. Good keeper option. Rod Barajas 44% owned in Y! Leagues26 R / 11 HR / 31 RBI / .249 Again another catcher with a low average but on his way to 20+ homers. Playing for the red-hot Mets has certainly benefited Barajas. It's been a slow month though only hitting .196 with 3 RBIs. A.J. Pierzynski 20% owned in Y! Leagues18 R / 4 HR / 20 RBI / .243 A.J. has turned it up the last month hitting .304 with 2 HR, 7 RBIs and 7 runs. For a position notoriously know for low BA, Pierzynski has somehow managed to keep a career average above .280. Ronny Paulino 16% owned in Y! Leagues25 R / 3 HR / 28 RBI / .305 There aren't many everyday catchers out there but Paulino is on his way. He's played 20 straight games only one behind Kendall and Martin this year for most in row. Not getting a ton of runs or RBIs but the average is above .300, so at least he won't be hurting your team. John Jaso 6% owned in Y! Leagues20 R / 3 HR / 25 RBI / .271 Nothing spectacular here but at least he's playing for the run-scoring Rays, so he may have more opportunities for RBIs than other players. Matt Treanor 1% owned in Y! Leagues17 R / 5 HR / 23 RBI / .234 Getting the majority of playing time in Texas, but low numbers all-around. Hope that he isn't your only option. Gerald Laird 1% owned in Y! Leagues13 R / 2 HR / 13 RBI / .192 Worse numbers than Treanor, but at least he's been hot as of late, batting .345 in the past eight games, with a homer and 7 RBIs. Smaller League Possibilities Carlos Santana 54% owned in Y! Leagues8 R / 4 HR / 14 RBI / .333 It's doubtful that Santana is out there, but if he is, please please pick him up. Carlos is a stud in the making and a great keeper candidate. Since the callup he has better numbers than some of these guys have produced all year so far. Geovany Soto 57% owned in Y! Leagues 25 R / 8 HR / 19 RBI / .270 Soto started off extremely strong but ran out of gas around the middle of May. He has though picked it back up since May 30th, hitting four HR and four multi-hit games. The potential is definitely there from his 2008 numbers (66/23/86/.285) Martinez Owners: Who is available on your wire? How do you plan on replacing VMart?

Jason Heyward, the rookie phenom, who has taken Hotlanta by storm, landed on the DL today with an left thumb injury. The good news was the MRI showed no structural damage so two weeks of resting the thumb should do the trick and he will hopefully be back by the All-Star break. Playing through the pain certainly didn't work and since the initial injury 39 games ago, Heyward has seen his average drop from .299 to .251. He's also only amassed 3 HR & 17 RBIs in the injured span while in the previous 31 games prior he was a man possessed hitting 8 HR & 28 RBIs. Clearly a little rest is needed for the big boy, but the real question is – who do you pick up off the wire in the meanwhile? Here is a list of players who are probably out there to help fill the void for the next two weeks Carlos Quentin (OF-CWS)Big Q is finally showing some of that swing from 2008. The average is still way low (.229) but at least he's raised it 22 points in the last month. In the last ten games he has hit .394, 4 homers, and 13 RBI's while posting a .487 OBP, and a .879 slugging giving him a 1.366 OPS! Jose Guillen (OF-KC) After a crazy strong start, Guillen came falling back to earth. In the past month though he's started to heat right back up batting .320 with 14 RBIs. Since Guillen has always been a streaky player, I'd say we are in line for another run of homers. Guillen is very capable to hit 20-25 homers and 100 RBIs by years end. Aubrey Huff (1B/OF-SF) There haven't been many players hotter than Huff in the past month (.309 / 7 HR / 19 runs / 19 RBIs) and he shows no sign of slowing down. Huff is a great pickup regardless of how long Heyward is out. Keep your fingers crossed for 2008 numbers! Brennan Boesch (OF-DET) Another rookie who has taken the league by storm. Not a lot of talk about Brennan but his numbers are top notch thus far. You can't ask for a better average (.338) and he already has 12 Homers! Making a very good case for AL ROY. Delmon Young (OF-MIN) Young is finally living up to his expectations in 2010. Assuming he gets around 575 ABs, he's on pace for 80 runs and 120 RBIs. The past week has been a little slow, but it will pick right back up. Gotta love the improvement here! Chris Coghlan (OF-FLA) The 2009 ROY has really heated up the past month, hitting a nasty .364 not to mention the 26 runs. It was a slow start but apparently Coghlan doesn't much care for sophomore slumps. Article by Evan Marx exclusively for TheFantasyFix.com.

Edwin Jackson's insane no-hitter. R.A. Dickey's 6th straight. Carlos Quentin's four dingers. Brandon Morrow & Jhoulys Chacin are strikeout machines. Is Jamie Moyer really father time in disguise? Can they really keep it up for another week? Check out who's a Must or a Bust. SWINGERS Carlos Quentin - 57% of Y! Leagues 6 R / 4 HR / 11 RBI /.389 BA Big Q is finally showing some of that swing from 2008. The average is still way low (.229) but at least he's raised it 22 points in the last month. In the last ten games he has hit .394, 4 homers, and 13 RBI's while posting a .487 OBP, and a .879 slugging giving him a 1.366 OPS! Way too low of an ownership for someone with that much potential. Even Aramis who is having ten-times worse a season, is owned at 67%. Will Venable - 8% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 3 HR / 8 RBI / 1 SB / .286 BA What a week for Venable. Not only has he homered every other game in the past eight but they were at key moments. Low average and high strikeout percentage makes Venable a tough pickup but for deeper NL leagues he isn't bad, plus he's sure to be on the wire. Don't expect this streak for much longer though, especially going against Jimenez tonight. Coco Crisp - 33% of Y! Leagues 7 R / 1 HR / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .368 BA Coco has never played more than 145 games in his career and this year is no different missing almost practically the whole season so far. Since coming back for the past five games, he's hit in four of five with two multi-hit games and six runs. The good news is that Crisp has the center-field job locked down and whatever little offense the A's have, Coco will be in the middle of it. Great pickup for runs and stolen bases. Ike Davis - 17% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 1 HR / 7 RBI / .333 BA It's amazing how much hype is around these rookies when they get the call-up and if they don't perform in the first week or two owners forget about them. Davis has been a big factor in the Mets recent success and already has 9 homers. He isn't even playing to his full potential yet so as the season progresses, he should shoot from someone only owned in 17% of leagues to possibly 50%. If first-base wasn't so heavy with talented hitters, Ike could be considered as a quality late-round keeper. Oh yeah, he's hit five home runs ranging from 434 to 450 so far too... booya! Gaby Sanchez - 17% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 1 HR / 4 RBI / .417 BA Sanchez is doing one hell of a job holding off rookie prospect Logan Morrison. Solid numbers all around from runs to RBIs to average. He should be able to hold off Logan for a while longer and possibly the year if he keeps playing like this. In the last 11 games, Gaby has nine multi-hitters. Clint Barmes - 16% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 1 HR / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .381 BA Great week but nothing super special here. A possible last resort pickup replacement for Dustin Pedroia (see here Filling The Void: Dustin Pedroia) HURLERS Jamie Moyer - 15% of Y! Leagues 15 IP / 2 W / 12 K / 1.80 ERA / 0.60 WHIP You certainly will not get better performances from a 47 year-old. Hell you can't even find another 47 year-old pitching in the Bigs. I'm sure Moyer would love to follow the footsteps of Satchel Paige and pitch into his 60's but something tells me that he only has another year at best left. Minus Moyer's complete meltdown against Boston (1 IP, 9 ER), his numbers last month have been very impressive with a sub 1.00 WHIP and four wins. Trevor Cahill - 37% of Y! Leagues 7.2 IP / 1 W / 10 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.65 WHIP The A's have been a source of solid pitcher development for a long time now and they seem to have another ace on their hands. In his sophomore year, Cahill has been lights out with eight out of twelve quality starts. He's yet to give up more than four runs in '10 and hit a benchmark in strikeouts with ten against Pittsburgh (yeah its Pitt but still). Absolute pickup if he's not taken already. Chris Narveson - 2% of Y! Leagues 13 IP / 2 W / 10 K / 2.08 ERA / 0.92 WHIP Since being converted to a starter, Narveson has had a few ups-and-downs, but pitched his best performance this week against Seattle and shut them down for only four hits in eight innings. Not convinced yet, but he has had four games of seven or more strikeouts, so he is certainly one to watch. Brandon Morrow - 27% of Y! Leagues 8 IP / 1 W / 8 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.75 WHIP Morrow had a rough start to the season but the bad losses seem to be a thing of the past. His last game against St. Louis showed how good he can be, going eight innings, zero runs and eight strikeouts. In the last five games Morrow has a 1.32 ERA, .094 WHIP and 27 strikeouts. Like Cahill, Morrow is turning out to be a solid pickup. J.J. Putz - 8% of Y! Leagues 3 IP / 2 W / 1 SV/ 1 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.00 WHIP One thing is for sure J.J. certainly hasn't been pitching like a putz! In the past 16 appearances he hasn't given up a single run and amassed an amazing 4 wins with a save too! Putz has turned into one of the best options for middle relief out there and if Jenks goes down, I think we know who they are handing the ball over to. Luke Gregerson - 26% of Y! Leagues 3 IP / 1 W / 1 SV/ 3 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.33 WHIP What a year this set-up man is having! A 1.60 ERA and 51Ks in only 39.1 innings puts him with the best. On top of that he has a crazy low WHIP (0.51) and batters are only hitting .121 against him. Great guy to have on your team to lower a few categories plus get the occasional win. Edwin Jackson - 59% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 6 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.89 WHIP The talk of the week, Jackson pitched the leagues fourth no-hitter this year, albeit a strange one with eight walks. Since getting hammered against Colorado and Chicago (18 total earned runs) at the end of April, Jackson has turned it around with a 3.46 ERA, 68 Ks & 1.29 WHIP in 70.2 innings. Although owned much higher, it's still worth taking a peak to see if he's out there. Just keep a close eye since he did throw 149 pitches for the no-hitter. Jhoulys Chacin - 11% of Y! Leagues 12.2 IP / 1 W / 17 K / 1.42 ERA / 1.34 WHIP After a monster start to his career and then falling out of the light, its time to put Jhoulys back on the radar. One thing we know is Chacin can strike batters out! 12 Ks against the Angels wasn't enough for the win because of three unearned runs but a magnificent game nonetheless. If Jhuoulys can turn some of the losses into wins for the second half, we will have a fantasy stud on our hands! R.A. Dickey - 31% of Y! Leagues 8 IP / 1 W / 4 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.75 WHIP The unusual Mets staff has been light outs this year with Dickey, Niese and Pelfrey. Dickey has six straight wins and a sick 2.33 ERA. No signs of the Mets slowing down anytime soon. Who is the best waiver wire pickup this week? Who do you think is just getting started?

Dickey, Chicago White Sox, San Diego Padres, Oakland Athletics, New York Mets, Florida Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Philadelphia Phillies, Arizona Diamondbacks ![]() Max Scherzer A quick look at last week's Fantasy Baseball top performing and least owned players on the waiver wire. Justin Smoak is smoking the ball and Max Scherzer dominates twice. Can they really keep it up for another week? Check out who's a Must or a Bust. SWINGERS John Buck - 40% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 3 HRS / 8 RBI / .389 BA With all this hype around catchers this year, most owners seem to overlook guys like Buck. If you are a win-now kinda of fantasy player, then having Buck on your team may very well benefit you over a guy Weiters. Buck's problem has always been hitting for a decent average and so far he's 33 points above his career numbers. Three multi-homer games already, he could easily hit 25 by seasons end. Chipper Jones - 53% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 1 HR / 7 RBI / .471 BA Yes he's older and hitting 50 points below his career .306 average but he's still one of the best 3B of the past 20 years. If Glaus can have a comeback year, then Chipper can too. Expect better numbers in the second half assuming he doesn't get injured like the past few years. Scott Podsednik - 53% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 1 HR / 7 RBI / 2 SB / .286 BA I'm so tempted to call the Royals the worst team in the league but the truth is that the Indians and Orioles are certainly worse. Regardless, Speedy Scotty is back to his old form and running the bejeezus out of the bases. Injuries have really dropped Podsednik off the radar but he's healthy this year and on track to at least 40 stolen bases. Justin Smoak - 13% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 2 HRS / 8 RBI / .320 BA After a dismal start, Smoak has put together a solid last month (15 RUNS / 4 HRS / 21 RBIs /.278 avg). With the influx of all the call-ups owners have forgotten to come back around and take a look at what Smoak is doing. He won't be available for much longer, go get him. Angel Pagan - 33% of Y! Leagues 3 R / 5 RBI / 2 SB / .417 BA Pagan has been on fire the past month, batting .327, 15 Runs, 13 RBIs and 9 SBs. I seem to be less and less worried about Beltran coming back and squeezing Pagan out. Angel really has been at the center of the revitalized Mets. HURLERS Carl Pavano - 16% of Y! Leagues 16 IP / 2 W / 7 K / 2.25 ERA / 0.63 WHIP Despite Pavano's 8-6 record, this is actually his best season since 2004. There's still plenty of time for Carl to get back to his usual mediocre numbers, but right now he is pretty much pitching career bests in ERA, WHIP & BAA. His last game was a gem against the struggling Phils, going nine and only giving up one. 10 of 15 have been quality starts! Max Scherzer - 34% of Y! Leagues 13 IP / 2 W / 17 K / 2.77 ERA / 1.15 WHIP There is so much talent in this kid. Owners were expecting a lot more out of Scherzer this year and a few have jumped back on the boat since his return. In 5 games since returning, he has a 3.48 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41Ks. If you lack strikeouts, Mad Max is your guy! J.J. Putz - 3% of Y! Leagues 3 IP / 1 W / 1 SV/ 3 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.33 WHIP It's truly amazing how quickly Relief Pitchers fall from grace. In 2006 through 2007 Putz amassed an amazing 76 saves with just a 1.86 ERA. Those days are long gone and J.J. has been reduced to a set-up guy, just silently waiting for Jenks to get injured or implode. Unless you are in a crazy deep league, there are better middle relievers out there. Joel Pineiro - 27% of Y! Leagues 8 IP / 1 W / 5 K / 1.12 ERA / 0.50 WHIP I feel like a broken record saying this, but Pineiro is a roller-coaster ride. He pitches well against the tough teams then blows-up against teams like the Royals. There is no rhyme or reason to whether he will have a good game or not and so I've always stayed away. When he is on though, he can be as good as they come. In his last two games, Pineiro has pitched 17 innings, 8 hits, 2 runs and 12 K's while only giving up 2 walks! Like clockwork though, Joel will have a bad game in the next one or two, regardless of who they is playing. Jason Vargas - 29% of Y! Leagues 7.2 IP / 1 W / 4 K / 1.17 ERA / 0.65 WHIP Past his first game, Vargas has put up a quality start in all of his games since (1 game was only 5 innings, but he still only gave up 2 runs). Honestly if the Mariners we're any better we could be looking at 9-2 record instead of a 5-2. Season ERA is under 3.00, WHIP is just above 1.00 and batters are only hitting .225. In his fifth year, Vargas may have finally figured it out. Who is the best waiver wire pickup this week? Who do you think is just getting started?

![]() Aramis Ramirez Later this week we will hopefully see the return of Aramis Ramirez. It's been a rough year for fantasy owners, having to either drop the All-Star third baseman or painfully hold on and possibly waste a DL spot. Somehow I've ended up with Aramis two years in a row and I literally punch a wall every time I see an article about how his poor thumb hurts him. Get a freaking Band-Aid! THE GOOD Numbers don't lie. Sports is analytical and looking at career numbers can tell you a lot. Aramis's career average is 83 runs, 30 homers, 108 rbis, and a .282 average. These numbers aren't inflated either, this isn't a guy who who hits 50 homers one year and then 20 the next. From 2001-2008 Ramirez really was as cornerstone of the corner. Last year though was a huge test. A separated shoulder early on kept Aramis out for 2 months and owners didn't know what to expect when he returned. Well he returned with a passion and finished the season relatively strong with 46 runs, 15 hrs and 65 rbis in only 306 AB. Owners in 2010 never saw this coming… THE BAD The season didn't start with the finger injury, just really really poor hitting. So far 17 runs, 5 homers and 22 rbis in 179 AB. Plus the dreaded .168 average – Ramirez is a career .282 hitter for god's sake! Every time owners saw a sparse home run this year they thought , "yeah, this is the game he needed, he'll turn it around now" , only to be hugely disappointed the game after. Enter the thumb injury. I joked earlier calling him a big baby. Honestly getting a good grip on the bat is almost as important as seeing the ball. Trainers have changed his grip and padding to relieve the discomfort and hopefully get him back on track. The hard part for Ramirez will be fully adjusting to the new specs after holding his bat the same way for 13 seasons. I personally still have faith in the big boy. He's been really good for a long time and this is just a hiccup that will hopefully be forgotten in a few months. He's still only 31 and has a good 5+ years left in him. For all you fantasy owners out there who have stuck it out - god bless you. If Aramis is on the waiver wire in your league, now is a good time to make the pickup. Brighter days lie ahead! Do you think Aramis will turn it around in 2010? Follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/FantasyFix_Evan or Twitter.com/TheFantasyFix Tags: The Fantasy Fix, Fantasy Baseball Advice, Fantasy Baseball Blog, Aramis Ramirez, Chicago Cubs, NL, MLB, 3B ![]() Roy Halladay In less than half the year we've had some amazing, and I mean amazing games by pitchers. Three no-hitters from Ubaldo Jimenez, Roy Halladay & Dallas Braden with the last two being perfect. Technically we've had three perfect games if you count Galarraga's, which I think we should. Have the pitchers finally taken the lead in fantasy value over batters? Lets take a look… 2010 3 no-hitters (Jimenez, Halladay, Braden) 5 CG one-hitters (Cain, Cueto, Niese, Latos, Galarraga) 4 CG two-hitters (Wainwright, Moyer, Neimann, Masterson) 3 one-hitters in eight IP (Cain, Cecil, Lilly) 2009 2 no-hitters 4 CG one-hitters 12 CG two-hitters 2 one-hitters in eight IP 2008 2 no-hitters 5 CG one-hitters 8 CG two-hitters 1 one-hitter in eight IP As you can see in less than half the games, we already have more complete game no-hitters and one-hitters than 2008 and 2009. So again the question is – are pitchers more valuable in fantasy terms this year? Out of the top 25 ranked players eight are ranked under 25 (Chris Carpenter number 26 so I'm including him too). Of those eight two are relief pitchers. Not even making the top 25 list are some names who are having unreal years too like David Price (33), Jon Lester (36), Mat Latos (37), Andy Pettitte (38), Phil Hughes (42), Mike Pelfrey (44) and Jaime Garcia (46).This gives us a total of 15 in the top 50. Here's the best part - Tim Lincecum isn't even on the top 50 yet, but we know that will change by years end. In comparison to 2009, there were 9 top 25 and 14 in the top 50. For 2008 there were only 5 in the top 25 and only 12 in the top 50. Okay so the rankings weren't a tell-tale sign of how good the 2010 pitchers are but a quick look at ERA definitely shows us the truth: The 2006 MLB league average ERA was 4.53 The 2007 MLB league average ERA was 4.47 The 2008 MLB league average ERA was 4.32 The 2009 MLB league average ERA was 4.32 The 2010 MLB league average ERA was 4.18 All-in all its still early in the year and you never know what will happen. Jimenez could go down with an injury tomorrow and offset the whole league's ERA. So why the huge drop in ERA? Are pitchers actually getting better or are batters getting worse? Did the steroid era catch up with us and batters are finally human again? Let's hear your thoughts. Leave a comment or reply to us on Twitter.

Jonathan Niese and Ted Lilly throw a 1 hitter. Aubrey Huff and Gaby Sanchez's hit 2 bingers each. Can they really keep it up for another week? Check out who's a Must or a Bust. BATTERS Sean Rodriguez - 9% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 2 HRS / 5 RBI / .478 BA I really like what we're seeing from this kid. Riding a 14 game hitting streak, he's boosted his average from a measly .245 to respectable .288. He even had a 9 game tear of 1 run per game. We'll see exactly how good Rodriguez is in the next few weeks, but if he's gonna do it anywhere it will be on the hard hitting Rays. Gaby Sanchez - 7% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 3 HRS / 7 RBI / .409 BA A big guy who can hit for power that is owned in under 10% of leagues? Slightly larger than Cody Ross, we may have a winner on our hands. Ryan Spilborghs - 1% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 3 HRS / 3 RBI / .625 BA Well we all know that playing in Colorado always produces big numbers but not for a part-time player. He's got real competition in the OF with CarGo and Hawpe but if Smith doesn't produce Spillborghs could see increased time. Good numbers for the week but let's not get crazy here. Brennan Boesch - 36% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 3 HRS / 5 RBI / 1 SB / .360 BA A fantastic start for a fantastic rookie. The average, homers and rbi's are all there. Only category that is low is the runs, but they will come. Aubrey Huff - 30% of Y! Leagues 5 R / 3 HRS / 7 RBI / .348 BA Huff is starting to heat up and must I remind you that we are only 1 year removed from 32 homers? 6 of his 10 bingers have come in the last month. The potential is absolutely there. Erick Aybar - 46% of Y! Leagues 6 R / 3 RBI / 2 SB / .419 BA Switching to the leadoff spot has turned things around for Aybar. Aybar wont ever get you homers or rbis but if you lack runs and stolen bases he's your guy. Aybar already has 11 stolen bases - he had 14 in twice as many at bats in '09. 12 multi-hit games in the past month too. Garrett Jones - 55% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 2 HRS / 4 RBI / 2 SB / .333 BA Garrett grabbed everyone's attention last year with monster numbers in half a season. The beginning of this year hasn't been all-star worthy but he's started to heat up again. In the past 12 games, Jones has 7 multi-hit games and 5 homers. He's also raised his average 39 points in the last month. PITCHERS Ted Lilly - 51% of Y! Leagues 16 IP / 1 W / 11 K / 0.56 ERA / 0.38 WHIP What a week for Lilly! First a 4 hitter, 1 run game against MIL then a shutout, 1 hitter against CHW. The Wins have been few and far between but can you really blame a pitcher with a sub 3 ERA? 8 Quality Starts out 10. He is a MUST in all leagues right now. Jason Hammel - 9% of Y! Leagues 15.1 IP / 2 W / 9 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.98 WHIP Hammel is on a lot of people's watch-lists as a break through for 2010. He has put the groin injury behind him and dominated the past two starts, giving up zero runs and only 3 runs in the past 4. (for more detailed numbers see Tommy Landry's take - The Fantasy Fix Roundtable: Post All-Star Break Targets) Jonathon Niese - 9% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 6 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.11 WHIP Santana seriously needed the backup after getting absolutely nothing from Perez and Maine, so Niese and Pelfrey have stepped it up. A 1-hitter against San Diego has him on everyone's watch list… is another dominant game in order against the lowly Indians? Couldn't pick a better team to follow up against! Justin Masterson - 7% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 6 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.44 WHIP The potential is certainly there and his last game against his former team sure was magical (CG, 2 hits). My only concern is that Masterson has only pitched over 7 innings twice this year. Batters are hitting .287 against him and he has a crazy high WHIP (1.64). I won't say his last game was a fluke but I will need a bunch more quality starts to get on this train. Wade LeBlanc - 11% of Y! Leagues 13IP / 2 W / 6 K / 0.69 ERA / 1.15 WHIP After 4 straight losses, Wad has turned it around the last two only giving up 1 run in 13 innings. The Padres pitching this year has been outstanding, and LeBlanc is right there in the mix. A high WHIP but a low ERA, keeps me with a watchful eye. Joel Piñeiro - 25% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 7 K / 1.00 ERA / 0.67 WHIP I've said it before and I'll say it again - Pineiro is a ROLLERCOASTER! He pitches 1 good game he gives up 6 runs the next. He pitches 2 great games, he give up 9 the next. I don't have the stomach for him. As many weeks that he will win for you, he will singlehandedly lose the rest. Someday, Joel, someday. Gavin Floyd - 51% of Y! Leagues 14 IP / 1 W / 17 K / 1.29 ERA / 1.00 WHIP 2008 may be the best we will ever get from Floyd, but there is a reason why he was the Phillies 1st round pick. He has amazing control and can win a game without dominating the batters. Two solid starts in row hopefully has Floyd back on track. Higher owned, but still worth taking a peek to see if he's out there. Is Niese the real deal? Will Lilly keep it up? Leave a comment or reply to us on Twitter.

As a long time card collector, I've come across some of the most ridiculous names ever. Every time I buy a collection, I sort through and put the funny ones to the side. Honestly, I'm glad they exist… I mean who wants to root for a Joe Smith or Bob Jones? So every time I come home absolutely trashed from a good night of debacle, I bring out the cards and laugh until I puke, literally. Be prepared to piss your pants… ![]() WHAT A BUNCH OF DICKS I'm sorry but I giggle anytime I hear someone with the name Dick. A long long time ago there must have been a guy named Dick who was just such a jackass, that the name took on new meaning. I feel bad for the Dicks who are actually good guys, cause to me they are still dicks. THE NUMBER ONE DICK Dick Pole Boston Red Sox (1973-1976) Seattle Mariners (1977-1978) He's no ordinary Dick with that last name. If I had the misfortune to be named Dick, I would definitely want this kickass name. Used in a sentence - "Ride that Dick Pole ladies." THE RUNNERS UP Dick Bass, Dickie Thon, Dick Green ![]() NOW THAT'S JUST DIRTY Following the Dicks are a bunch of guys who I wish they would name cities after or at the very least stripclubs. Could you imagine the Human Resources problems there would be if these guys worked in an office (some of them probably do have sales jobs these days)? THE WINNER Rusty Kuntz Chicago White Sox (1979-1983) Minnesota Twins (1983) Detroit Tigers (1984-1985) Hands down the best name ever. So many jokes, so little time. Used in a sentence - "I was feeling a bit lonely so I drove down to the corner but all I saw was a bunch of Rusty Kuntz. I went home instead and broke out the lotion." THE RUNNERS UP Buzz Nutter, Woody Held, Pete Beathard, Boobie Clark, Pete LaCock ![]() I SWEAR YOU WERE A GARBAGE PAIL KID Not sure what their parents were smoking or if they just had awesome senses of humor, but with names like these, who can't love them. THE WINNER Wilbur Wood Boston Red Sox (1961-1964) Pittsburgh Pirates (1964-1965) Chicago White Sox (1967-1978) Alliteration at its finest, plus we get the word "wood" in there. Insert Beavis & Butthead laughs. THE RUNNER UPS Britt Burns, Sixto Lezcano, Steve Stonebreaker, Randy Ready, Clay Kirby, Pat Putnam, Minnie Minoso, Dick Drago, John Henry Johnson ![]() YOUR NAME IS WHAT??? Some guys' names aren't perverted or even rhyme. They are just ridiculous and awesome at the same time. THE WINNERS (2-way tie) JOHNNY WOCKENFUSS Detroit Tigers (1974-1983) Philadelphia Phillies (1984-1985) What's all the Wockenfuss about? The bushy haired, thick mustached Wockenfuss just screams 80's pornstar. He is what every man aspires to be. Someone please make me a Johnny Wockenfuss t-shirt. Shooty Babitt Oakland Athletics (1981) His real name was Mack Neal Babitt. Even that is pretty damn funny. But somehow, someone nicknamed him "Shooty". I have no idea what it means or where it came from and for once I am extremely disappointed in the Internet. THE RUNNER UPS Rod Scurry (hope I didn't catch the Rod Scurry), Champ Summers, Vida Blue, Mickey Klutts, Johnnie LeMaster, Bake McBride, Doc Medich I wanted this to be all Baseball but a few Football names made it in here cause they were just too good to leave off - Pete Beathard, come on! I know I left off a million names here. We would love to hear some of your favorites! Leave a comment or reply to us on Twitter.

Since no one else is, we are giving Armando Galarraga a no-hitter. Glaus is finally back to his dominant ways on the red hot Braves and Smoak is coming around. Plus 2 young stud pitchers in Toronto. Can they really keep it up for another week? Check out who's a Must or a Bust. BATTERS Troy Glaus - 59% of Y! Leagues 8 R / 4 HRS / 10 RBI / .308 BA Glaus should be owned in all leagues now. As long as Troy can stay healthy he will produce and playing for the red hot Braves has certainly helped his numbers. Looks like Glaus is on his way to at least 2008 numbers (69/27/99) and we can certainly pray for 2006 numbers (105/28/104). 5 homers in the past 7 games... Chris Coghlan - 47% of Y! Leagues 7 R / 1 HR / 3 RBI / 1 SB / .533 BA This is Coghlan's first real sign of quality numbers in 2010. He's got a lot of catching up to do – even after batting over .500 this last week he is still hitting a measly .262. Hopefully the sophomore slump is over and we can have faith again in the 2009 NL ROY. Bill Hall - 2% of Y! Leagues 8 R / 1 HR / 5 RBI / 2 SB / .368 BA A great utility guy but until we see that Hall can get a permanent spot on a roster, don't expect anything like his 2006 stats (101/35/85). Justin Smoak - 12% of Y! Leagues 7 R / 2 HR / 6 RBI / .444 BA After a huge jump in ownership from the callup, owners dropped Smoak as quick as Tyson dropped Sphinx. In the past week Smoak has raised his average 37 points. He's the was the Rangers top hitting prospect this year so it looks like a little patience was needed. Keep a very close eye, ownership will easily double if he puts up one more solid week. Kevin Kouzmanoff - 9% of Y! Leagues 4 R / 3 HR / 6 RBI / .400 BA It's highly unlikely Kouz can put up better numbers in Oakland than he did two years ago in San Diego (71/23/84/.260). Only a viable option in deep leagues. Delmon Young - 13% of Y! Leagues 3 R / 2 HR / 9 RBI / 1 SB / .321 BA Minnesota has been waiting for Young to wakeup since acquiring him in 2008. A thinner Delmon has so far produced solid numbers. It certainly helps to play with all-star hitters like Mauer and Morneau. PITCHERS Armando Galarraga - 13% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 3 K / 0.00 ERA / 0.00 WHIP We at The Fantasy Fix don't much care for Jim Joyce's poor eyesight and Selig being his usual mule-self, so we are changing the WHIP line from 0.11 to a perfect ZERO. Congrats Armando, you are a standup guy and as deserving as your halfway decent counterpart Dallas Braden. Don't expect any more games like this though out of Galarraga any time soon - he's only pitched 3 shutouts in his career with only 1 over 7 innings. Brandon Morrow- 11% of Y! Leagues 14 IP / 1 W / 9 K / 1.29 ERA / 0.71 WHIP Morrow is jumping on the Blue Jay bandwagon with Marcum and Cecil. 2 quality starts in a row and a handful of relatively good games. He held the two best hitting teams in the league (TAM & NY) to 7 hits over 14 innings. Morrow has 4 good pitches and one thing is for sure - he can strike batters out (74 in 64 innings). Yes he's been tagged for 6 runs against Boston and then against Arizona but he's also thrown a handful of gems. I'm predicting good things for Morrow here on out. Brett Myers - 16% of Y! Leagues 13.2 IP / 1 W / 16 K / 1.98 ERA / 1.17 WHIP Brett is one of those Vets who has good years and then decent years, but never terrible. He can get you 10-13 wins and even 150-175Ks, but he also owns a career 4.31 ERA. Certainly a player worth owning while he's hot but also an easy player to drop if he starts affecting your teams stats. Good in the ERA and Ks so far but batters are hitting a whopping .275 off him and unfortunately thats not a new thing with him. Tommy Hunter - 4% of Y! Leagues 9 IP / 1 W / 4 K / 1.00 ERA / 0.56 WHIP In Hunter's first game of the season he absolutely manhandled Tampa for a complete game 5 hitter plus it's the 2nd of his career. With Derek Holland on the DL, he has at least 1 more game to prove he belongs in the rotation. Feldman and Harden haven't pitched well so far, but its doubtful they are going anywhere. It will be interesting to see how this plays out if Hunter pitches another gem. Felipe Paulino - 2% of Y! Leagues 8 IP / 1 W / 7 K / 1.12 ERA / 0.88 WHIP After losing his first 6 games, Paulino has put up 4 quality starts in a row, but playing for the last place Astros has only amounted to 1 win. If Paulino was on a team that could actually win, we might be looking at a 7-1 instead of a 1-7 record. But he not on a winning team and he will struggle to get Wins all season. Brett Cecil - 34% of Y! Leagues 8 IP / 1 W / 5 K / 1.12 ERA / 0.75 WHIP I'm finally a believer in this guy. 4 solid starts in a row, the last being a total dominance over the Yankees. He only has one really bad game and all the rest have been quality starts. I say pick Cecil up now before its too late. Do you think Galarraga will breakout this year or go back to his usual self?

Here's The Fantasy Fix's picks one-third of the way through. Of course the usual big boys like Pujols, Braun, and Mauer are there, but surprises like Rios, Hughes and Marmol made the list too. Let's see if they can keep it up til the big game... AMERICAN LEAGUE Catcher Joe Mauer 25 R 2 HRS 24 RBIS 1SB .319 No surprise here. The reigning AL MVP is right on pace to put up big numbers yet again. He's hands above the rest and should be for a few more years. It will be interesting to see if the new crop of young catchers (Buster Posey, Bryce Harper, Matt Weiters) give him a run for top spot. First Base Miguel Cabrera 35 R 15 HRS 49 RBIS 2SB .351 Cabrera is on pace to hit 160 rbis although his career high is 127. Cabrera is still only 27 and will undoubtedly go down as one of the games best. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! Justin Morneau 36 R 12 HRS 37 RBIS .372 .372. Say it again. Three-seventy-two! Apparently Morneau thinks he can put up Mauer numbers. Injured or not injured - Morneau is consistent. Pass the soda pop. FYI - One month ago Konerko would have been #1. We knew it couldn't last the whole season - three homers in May (still leading the league with 16 though). He's putting up Bautista numbers but with half the strikeouts and a batting average 30 points higher. Second Base Robinson Cano 40 R 12 HRS 42 RBIS 2SB .373 Hands down the best 2B so far. Don't let Cano's lazy looking swing fool you, he's clutch whether starting a rally or hitting for power. 2008's numbers are long forgotten. Number One 2B pick next year? Utley who? Shortstop Derek Jeter 34 R 5 HRS 31 RBIS 5SB .303 Its amazing watching Jeter etch himself in Yankee history as one of the all-times best. He just hit his 450th double trailing only Lou Gehrig. Third Base Evan Longoria 36 R 10 HRS 42 RBIS 10SB .316 The heart of the Rays offense is right on pace to put up similar monster numbers just like last year. Its crazy to think he's only in his third year and he will only get better. Outfield Carl Crawford 41 R 5 HRS 30 RBIS 17SB .316 He's 3rd in runs and 4th in Stolen Bases. With the way Tampa Bay is playing this year, the stolen bases are translating into runs and it looks like he will easily surpass last years 96 and his career high of 104. Alex Rios 33 R 11 HRS 27 RBIS 16SB .319 Just imagine for a minute that Rios stayed in Toronto this year… yeah they'd still lose the division but it would be a cool story. He's brought himself back to 2007 numbers after a let down the past two years. Another forgotten player finally making a comeback! Vernon Wells 34 R 13 HRS 37 RBIS 2SB .306 A sleeping giant awoke in Wells this year. Like Rios, Wells has seen a major drop off from All-Star numbers since 2006. Vernon is two homers shy of what he hit all last year in 420 less at bats. Currently he has an 11 game hitting streak too. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! Jose Bautista 37 R 16 HRS 42 RBIS 3SB .247 Practically put up his best numbers of his 7 year career in a third of the season. Only thing holding him back from a top fantasy option is his ridiculously low batting average. Happy for him but still don't see this lasting all season. Starting Pitchers Armando Galarraga - haha just kidding, but I feel bad for this kid, can't we just give him the notch anyway? Phil Hughes 7-1 64 Ks 2.53 ERA 1.05 WHIP .203 BAA I don't think anyone thought Hughes would be this good this year. Not the Yankees. Not even Phil Hughes. He's been lights out in 8 of 10 starts. Being on the forever winning Yankees, I wouldn't be surprised if Hughes gets 17+ wins this year. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! David Price 8-2 53 Ks 2.29 ERA 1.14 WHIP .216 BAA The AL league leader in wins is finally showing why he was the number one pick of 2007. Statistically he is only lacking in Ks. Closer Jose Valverde 20.2 Innings 13Ks 1W 11SV 0.44ERA 0.92WHIP .134BAA He might not be leading the AL in saves, but 1 earned run in 20 innings is unreal. Strikeouts are low but who cares when batters are hitting .134. Whatever it takes to get it done! NATIONAL LEAGUE Catcher Miguel Olivo 24 R 8 HRS 25 RBIS 4SB .316 In his 9th season Olivo is cooking with fire out in Colorado. Miguel doesn't seem to care that he is a career sub .250 hitter. The Rockies are only 3.5 games behind the Padres and Miguel is right in the center of the action. First Base Albert Pujols 32 R 12 HRS 39 RBIS 5SB .318 The game's best is doing his usual…destroying those poor little leatherballs. Even while in his mothers womb Pujols was hitting 40 homers. I know it makes no sense but neither does how good he is year in and year out. Second Base Martin Prado 40 R 4 HRS 27 RBIS 1SB .324 Somehow the Braves are on top in the NL East. They swept the Phillies and their leadoff hitter has a 7 game hit streak. He already has 24 multi-hit games too! He won't get you steals but if he keeps this up he will easily surpass 100 runs. Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki 40 R 7 HRS 27 RBIS 3SB .308 Tulo's finally has found his power with 6 homers in the past 13 games. Having a stronger start than number one SS, Hanley Ramirez. Proving all those doubters wrong! Third Base Scott Rolen 31 R 13 HRS 37 RBIS .289 So of course the top NL 3rd baseman so far is Scott Rolen. Wait, what? Somehow in his 15th season, Rolen is back to his All-Star numbers. From 1997-2004 he was one of the best, but injuries plagued him. So far he's healthy as an ox and is putting up sick numbers for a guy who probably only has another year or two left in him. Good for you old man, you can go do Viagra commercials like Rafael Palmeiro now. Outfield Ryan Braun 39 R 8 HRS 33 RBIS 11 SB .317 The Home Runs aren't there yet but he's pretty much on pace for everything else. Plus he's way ahead of schedule on stolen bases. 3 years of crazy strong numbers since entering the league and year 4 is right on track. Matt Kemp 44 R 11 HRS 31 RBIS 7 SB .281 Speed. Power. The hot girlfriend. The LA lifestyle. The numbers to back it up. Nuff said. Andre Ethier 25 R 11 HRS 38 RBIS .360 Just by looking at the numbers you wouldn't realize that Ethier just returned from the DL after missing 2 weeks. We'll see if he can pick up where he left off. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! Cargo and J-Hey what more can you say? Carlos Gonzalez 34 R 7 HRS 34 RBIS 7 SB .303 Jason Heyward 29 R 10 HRS 38 RBIS 4 SB .287 Starting Pitchers Ubaldo Jimenez 10-1 70 Ks 0.78 ERA 0.90 WHIP .172 BAA The closest thing to a '68 Gibson year we are going to see. In his only loss he gave up 2 hits and 1 run! No one is hotter, no one is more dominant right now. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! Roy Halladay 7-3 70 Ks 1.99 ERA 0.99 WHIP .229 BAA Take away the two bad games and Halladay is right there up there with Jimenez. Ubaldo pitches a no-hitter and Doc one-ups him with a perfect game. Adam Wainright 7-3 77 Ks 2.28 ERA 1.01 WHIP .215 BAA Wainright's insane season is getting overshadowed by Jimenez and Halladay. It feels like if you can't throw a no-hitter, no one will pay attention to you. Is it possible he will finish with better numbers than 2009? Closer Carlos Marmol 25 Innings 50Ks 1W 11SV 1.44ERA 1.12WHIP .151BAA I'm shocked to say this but Marmol has been the most dominant thus far. He's averaging 2Ks per inning! To put that in perspective - Marmol has 3 less Ks than David Price in 50 less innings! The deciding factor was that batters are hitting 60 points lower than Broxton. Yo "B", Don't forget about me! Jonathan Broxton 24.1 Innings 35Ks 3W 13SV 1.11ERA 0.90WHIP .211BAA Broxton is about as dominant a closer as you can get. He continues the legacy of Eric Gagne in LA and undoubtedly will have as good or better a season than 2009. Do you think the list will stay the same by the All-Star game? Who will stay on the list and who will fall off? Leave a comment or reply to us on Twitter.
