SP- DREW POMERANZ (COLORADO) – Drew, the key piece in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade made his first major league start for the Rockies holding the Red's scoreless for five innings. Pomeranz had a 4-3 record and a remarkable 1.78 ERA in 20 starts in the minors. He should get 2-3 more starts and could be useful down the stretch for your fantasy team.

SP/RP- MATT MOORE (TAMPA BAY) – Matt was recalled from Durham Sunday night by the Rays who are making a late push for the wildcard spot in the A.L. East. In 27 minor league starts he held a 12-3 with a 1.92 ERA. As for now he is expected to pitch in middle relief but may be called on to start due to a late scratch of a Ray’s starter. Moore should be grabbed in all dynasty type formats and can be useful on a roto team as a middle reliever.

C- WILIN ROSARIO (COLORADO) – Wilin will receive the majority of the late season starts at catcher according to manager Jim Tracy. Rosario, considered a top prospect hit 21 home runs at AA Tulsa this year. Any Rockies player is always worth a look although they only have six of their remianing 16 games at home. If you need help at catcher why not take a chance?

C- SALVADOR PEREZ (KANSAS CITY) – The 21 year old Perez who is expected to be the starter next year for the Royals is hitting .295 in just under 100 AB's for the Royal's. Perez looks to be getting most of the playing time in September for the Royals and can be useful to help your team in the batting average category down the stretch.
 
2B- JEMILE WEEKS (OAKLAND) – Weeks is absolutely lighting it up for the A's since his call up in June. In 350 AB's this season Week's is hitting .302 with 21 stolen bases and 44 runs scored. Weeks continues to shine although fellow rookie second sacker's Brett Lawrie and Dustin Ackley still garner the headlines. Worth a look down the stretch if needed.

3B- BRENT MOREL (CHICAGO WHITE SOX) – Morel had the first multi home run game last week against the Indians. He is (7 for 14) is his last six games and has started to look much more comfortable at the plate. Brent has had a rather pedestrian season hitting only .255 with seven home runs in 355 AB's. He is still an A.L. only option at this time.
