2011 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report Week 22: White Sox Fans Are Dayan For Viciedo
Dayan Viciendo (see credits below)
SP-ERIC SURKAMP (SAN FRANCISCO) – Surkamp who was 10-4 with a 2.02 ERA for AA Richmond, pitched well against the Astros last week in his major league debut, giving up only one run in six strong innings. Eric is expected to pitch again September 6th and stay with the club through September. He may be a sleeper pitcher down the stretch for your team if you need pitching help, especially since he has been a dominant pitcher in the minor leagues. Keep an eye on him.
SP- BRANDON BEACHY (ATLANTA) – Brandon has quietly put a stellar rookie season in for the Braves. In his last four games he is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA. For the season he is 7-2 with 128 K's in only 114 innings. He also sports just a 3.31 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Beachy is a converted reliever and an early season DL stint should benefit fantasy owners because he will not reach his innings limit by the end of the year.
RP- STEVE CISHEK (FLORIDA) – Cishek has picked up two saves in the past week for the Marlins. For the season the 6'5" righty has a .278 ERA while averaging over one K per inning. With closer Leo Nunez struggling badly right now this might just be your chance to pick up some saves for your roto team. Hard to say what the Marlins will do for the month of September but why not give Cishek a chance?
3B- DAYAN VICIEDO (CHICAGO WHITE SOX) – Viciedo made quite an impact in his first major league game of 2011 hitting a three run home run Sunday against the Mariners. Dayan was hitting .296 with 20 HR's and 78 RBI in AAA before the call up. Also he hit .308 with five HR's in limited action for the Chi Sox in 2010. This guy can hit and the White Sox are committed to playing him here on out. He is a MUST pick up if you need help at the corner position. 3B- MIKE MOUSTAKAS (KANSAS CITY) – Moose is finally coming along in his third month at the major league level. He is currently 19 for his last 39 with seven RBI's. He has raised his BA from .181 to .231. Mike is a top prospect for the Royals and he seems to be finding his stroke now. I still recommend leaving him on the waiver wire although if you are in a deep league and need help grab him while he is hot!
3B- KYLE SEAGER (SEATTLE) – Seager is currently the number one waiver wire pick up in CBS leagues following his .769 batting in a series versus Cleveland last week. Kyle is a .328 career minor league hitter and should join fellow rookie second baseman Dustin Ackley in the Seattle infield for years to come. He has a great track record and is another case of "get him while he is hot".
