Fantasy Notes

Day 1 brought no real surprises in the fantasy charts for Albert. Our perennial number one player Mr Pujols with 2 dingers, 3 ribs, and 2 scored for nice 800 avg, not bad!!  Garrett Jones (1B Pit) on the other hand 2 taters, 3 ribs, 3 scored was a pleasant surprise for anyone unfortunate enough to have auto drafted him in the last 2 rounds!!

Placido Polanco (2b Phi) and Yunel Excoober (ss Atl) had great openers with 6 and 5 driven in respectively. I don’t look for this type of production to be a trend with these players, although Polanco has shown to be a quality fantasy back up player.

On to Tuesday!! Jon Lester ,James Shelids,  AJ Burnett, Randy Wolf,  and Wandy Rodriguez all take the rubber today, and look to create havoc against opposing lineups. These games i see as better pitching category match ups. Although, David Ortiz has impressive numbers against Burnett (4/11, 2 HR, 2 dbl), go ahead and rotate him in your line up if possible!! Likewise Mark DeRosa is 7/24 vs Rodriguez including 2 HR and 3 doubles.

2 players to sit today would be Kevin Youkilis (.259 vs Burnett with 1 xb hit) and Curtis Granderson ( .210 lifetime avg vs lefties). Also be careful with Todd Helton, as he is hitting under 200 vs Wolf in his career.

On a side note, congrats to the Duke Blue Devils on another NCAA title, and big WTG to Butler as they played a courageous and tenacious game, they can certainly hold their heads high!!

Good luck on your fantasy lineups, and have fun!!!
