SP- WADE MILEY (ARIZONA) Miley has done well in his four starts going 3-1 with a 3.52 ERA. He has a high WHIP at 1.60, but that will eventually come down as he learns to pitch at the big league level. The young lefty is worth a pick up in mixed leagues if you need a decent pitcher on a first place team.

SP- HENDERSON ALVAREZ (TORONTO) Alvarez pitched a gem last night against Boston as he continues to show flashes of brilliance at the MLB level. His ERA now after six starts is 2.95. In addition he has pitched 14 consecutive scoreless innings. The Blue Jays will continue to run him out there every fifth day so grab him while you can.

SP- ZACH STEWART (CHICAGO WHITE SOX) Stewart tossed a gem last night throwing a complete game one-hit shutout, just missing a perfect game against the Twins. For the season he is 2-3 with a 4.56 ERA. Maybe Zach has turned it around after his last two starts, keep an eye on him.  

C- JESUS MONTERO (NEW YORK YANKEES) Jesus had quite a day yesterday as he hit two home runs against the Blue Jays in the Yankees win. The much heralded prospect is finally here and it remains to be seen how much the Yankees will use him in September. If you need help at catcher, take a chance, just monitor his situation to see how much playing time he will get.

OF- ALEJANDRO DE AZA (CHICAGO WHITE SOX) De Aza has been raking the ball lately since his call up to replace Alex Rios in CF for the Chi Sox. In his last 12 games he has a .364 BA, with two homers and 11 RBI’s. De Aza is a 10 year minor leaguer and is finally getting his chance. Ride him while he is hot and be ready to dump him once the ride is over.
