2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: The Mariners Should Be Demoted & Trade Deadline Nonsense
Mike Napoli went 4-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored in the Rangers’ 20-6 victory. Napoli is now hitting .444 in the month of July.
With the aforementioned Beltre on the DL, you may want to add the following players to man the hot corner until he returns: Emilio Bonifacio (63% owned Y!), Edwin Encarnacion (19% Y!), Daniel Murphy (62% Y!), Danny Valencia (29% Y!), Eduardo Nunez (9% Y!) and Chase Headley (28% Y!).
Bryce Harper went 2-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and scored a run in a 13-2 win last night for AA Harrisburg over the Bowie Baysox.
The Seattle Mariners have extended their losing streak to 16 games. The Mariners are batting a horrific .226 as a team. One word: Contraction.
Ian Kinsler and Carlos Lee each blasted a moon shot and knocked in four runs last night.
The San Diego Padres lead the MLB in stolen bases with 110, the Cubs are last with just 35 swipes.
As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the one rumor that I actually liked hearing was Gio Gonzalez to the Yankees.
Are the rich going to get richer? The Phillies relievers already sport a league low three blown saves in 2011, yet Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported yesterday on Twitter that the Fightin’ Phils are “aggressively pursuing” Heath Bell and Mike Adams of the Padres.
All this Colby Rasmus trade speculation has caused him to smack two long balls in the past two games.
Joel Hanrahan (29), Mitchell Boggs (4), Jason Isringhausen (3), Heath Bell (29) each earned saves last night.
Pitching duels I’m looking forward to today: TIm Lincecum vs. Vance Worley and Jhoulys Chacin vs. Clayton Kershaw.
