6/22/07

Batting

  • Paul Konerko - 2/3 with his 11th home run.   He's 4 for 9 during his current 3 game hit streak.

  • Michael Young - 3/4 to raise his average to .290. 

  • Alfonso Soriano - 3/4 with 2 doubles (20) and a home run (12) to break out of a 3 for 16 slump.

  • Edwin Encarnacion - 2/4 with his 3rd steal.  He's now 7 for his last 16 and is hitting .327 since his return (110 at bats) with 10 extra base hits and a 9/23 bb/k ratio. 

  • Terry Evans - 1/3 with his 1st home run.  His first major league start resulted in his first major league home run.  In 2006, he hit 33 home runs and stole 37 bases splitting time between A and AA.  But before you get too excited, his bb/k ratio was pretty bad (41/127) and he was relatively old for an A ball level player (24).

  • Hunter Pence - 3/5 with his 7th home run.  He's hitting .351 on the year, but has only 6 walks.  How long can his hot streak continue?

  • Lance Berkman - 2/5 to extend his hitting streak to 9 games.  Somehow he doesn't have any home runs and has only 2 RBI during this streak, but he is showing signs of breaking out soon. 

  • Josh Barfield - 2/3 with his 10th double.  He seems to have lost his power stroke, but he is hitting .343 in the month of June.

  • Richie Sexson - 2/4 with his 12th home run.  Don't look now, but he's hitting over .200 now!  He's 6 for his last 15 with 2 home runs. 

  • Frank Thomas - 2/4 with his 10th home run.  He looks like he's heating up - 5 for his last 14 with 2 home runs.

  • Aaron Hill - 2/4 with his 20th double to break out of a 1 for 14 slump.

  • Ryan Braun - 2/4 with his 2nd triple. 

  • J.D. Drew - 2/2 with his 10th double and 6th home run.  Breaking a 3-17 slump.

  • Manny Ramirez - 3/4 with his 11th home run. 

  • Dustin Pedroia - 2/5 with 2 doubles (16).

  • Coco Crisp - 2/5 with his 4th home run.

  • Eric Byrnes - 4/5 with a double (14) and a home run (11).  He's up to .318 on the year.

  • Akinori Iwamura - 2/4 with a walk.  He continues to do a great job getting on base - OBP of .425 on the season and is 5 for his last 9 with a walk.

  • Aaron Miles - 5/7 to raise his average up over .300. 

  • Alex Gordon - 4/6 to raise his average up to .230! 

  • Magglio Ordonez - 3/4 as his average shoots over .380.

  • Carlos Guillen - 2/5 with his 11th home run. 

  • Troy Tulowitzki - 2/3 with a walk.  He's hit safely in 6 of his last 7 games with 3 walks and only 2 k's during that time.  Very limited power this year, but a good walk rate.

  • Carlos Beltran - 3/4.  His first multi-hit game in almost 2 weeks, and was previously in a 5 for 40 slump. 

  • Nick Markakis - 2/5 - he's now 7 for his last 13.

Pitching

  • Jon Garland - 7 IP, 3 hits, 1 walk and 6 k's.  His k/bb ratio of 49/28 is unimpressive.  He has cut down on his h/9 this year, having allowed only 90 hits in 104.1 innings, which is the lowest of his career by far - expect that to rise as the season wears on.

  • Dan Haren - 7 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's.  The first time he's allowed 3 earned runs since April 13th. 

  • Alan Embree - 2 IP, 3 k's to capture his 8th save on the season.  He's been great in June with an 8/0 k/bb ratio in 10.2 IP.

  • Jeff Weaver - 9 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's.  No, this isn't a missprint, his first win of the season comes via a complete game shutout which drops his ERA down below 9.  Go figure.

  • Roy Halladay - 8 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's. 

  • Jeff Francis - 7 IP, 5 hits, 1 walk and 9 k's.  He's been outstanding lately with a 27/5 k/bb ratio during the month of June.

  • Jeremy Guthrie - 8 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 9 k's.  His breakout season continues, with only 59 hits and 14 hits allowed in 82 innings.

6/20/07

Batting

  • Ryan Howard -  3/5 with his 16th home run.  He has 10 home runs in his 88 at bats since returning from the DL.

  • Jhonny Peralta - 3/5 with his 13th double. 

  • Ryan Garko - 3/4 with his 9th home run.  Breaking out of a 1 for 26 slump.  He has too few walks to be consistent, so it was only a matter of time until he slumped.

  • Hunter Pence - 3/5 with his 6th home run.  Average is at .344, but bb/k ratio of 6/38 is a concern.  It might be time to sell high.

  • Reggie Willits - 3/4 with 2 steals (18) while hitting back in the leadoff spot in the order. 

  • Howie Kendrick - 2/4 with 2 doubles (9).  He's 7 for his last 13 and is starting to show some signs of living up to the hype.

  • Juan Pierre - 2/4 with 3 steals (23).

  • Russell Martin - 2/4 with his 8th home run.  He's hitting more home runs lately, but his extra base hit power has lagged with only 1 double and 5 home runs in his last 62 at bats.

  • Luis Gonzalez - 3/4 with his 16th double.  He's approaching .300 and is having a very underappreciated year.

  • Ken Griffey - 2/4 with his 19th home run. 

  • Hanley Ramirez - 3/5 with a double (18) and a home run (9).  We haven't heard much from him lately, but he's having a great season - firmly entrenched in the #3 spot in the order now.  RBI's still are lagging.

  • Dan Uggla - 2/5 with a double (28), home run (13) and a steal (2).  Nice night.

  • Josh Fields - 1/4 with a home run (2).  Four extra base hits in his last 16 at bats.

  • Ichiro Suzuki - 2/4 with his 20th steal.  He's approaching .360 on the year.

  • Ian Kinsler - 2/3 with 2 home runs (13).  He now has a 4 game hitting streak.  You can probably buy on him cheap due to his low batting average, and his relatively low strikeout total shows that he will rebound.

  • Magglio Ordonez - 3/3 with a double (34).  He's closing in on .380 for the year.

  • Gary Sheffield - 2/3 to raise his averge to .295.

  • Curtis Granderson - 2/6 with his 22nd double.  He's also approaching .300 with a .295 average.

  • Chris Duncan  - 2/3 with his 13th home run.  He's starting to heat up, 6 for his last 12 with 3 home runs.

  • Alex Gordon - 2/4 - he's now 14 for 35 in his last 9 games.  Unfortunately, he hasn't walked during this time, so he still has a way to go.

  • Joe Mauer - 2/4 with his 11th double.  He's 4 for his last 11 after a slow start following his return from the DL.

  • Akinori Iwamura - 3/5 with a double (6) and a home run (2).  He's a great OBP guy, but looking like a singles hitter with limited steal potential.

  • Chris Young - 3/6 with his 10th home run. 

  • Carlos Quentin - 2/4 with his 5th home run.  A solid prospect coming into the year, but he has been very inconsistent.

  • Orlando Hudson - 2/5.  An 8 game hitting streak has him back over .300 for the year.

  • Johnny Gomes - 2/5.  He's getting regular PT with Dukes' slump/situation.

  • Corey Hart - 2/4 with his 13th steal.

  • Khalil Greene - 4/5 with his 9th home run.  He's 6 for his last 10 and has hit in 7 of his last 8 games.

  • Nick Markakis - 3/4.  He's 5 for his last 8 and has struck out only once in his last 27 at bats.

Pitching

  • Antonio Alfonseca - 1 IP, 3 hits.  His 2nd straight poor performance, but neither has been a save opportunity.

  • Dan Wheeler - 1 IP, 1 hit, 1 k.  He's back in the closer's role with Lidge being placed on the DL.

  • Brad Penny - 7 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 5 k's.  His breakout season continues.

  • Homer Bailey - 7 IP, 2 hits, 4 walks and 3 k's.  His 2nd major league start should be a signs of things to come.  Too early to judge him, but walks are high.

  • Tom Gorzelanny - 7 IP, 8 hits, 0 walks and 6 k's. 

  • Chad Durbin - 6 IP, 5 hits, 0 walks and 5 k's.  He's been inconsistent, but is capable of a win every time he takes the mound.  His 41/30 k/bb ratio scares me away though.

  • Johan Santana - 9 IP, 4 hits, 1 k.  So, Wang strikes out 10 Mets, and Johan can only strike out 1??

  • Josh Fogg - 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk and 3 k's. 

  • Josh Beckett - 6 IP, 4 hits, 2 walks and 3 k's.  He's 10-1 now, but has only 4 k's vs. 3 bb's in his last 11 innings.

  • Ben Sheets - 9 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 4 k's.

  • Tim Lincecum - 4 IP, 5 hits, 4 walks and 6 k's.  He may lose his spot in the rotation before the All-Star break.

  • Jake Peavy - 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 7 k's.  Removed after 100 pitches, runs his record to 9-1. 

6/18/07

Batting

  • Jeremy Hermida - 2/4 with his 6th home run.  He's starting another hot streak and is 6 for his last 14.

  • Alex Gordon - 2/4 to extend his hitting streak to 7 games, during which time he is hitting 12 for 27 with only 4 strikeouts.

  • Justin Morneau - 2/2 with his 20th home run.  He's slipping below the radar, compared to ARod and Fielder, but has better numbers today than he did last year during his MVP season.

  • Corey Hart - 3/6 with 2 home runs (7) and a steal (12). 

  • Geoff Jenkins - 3/4.  He's 8 for his last 17.

  • Nick Markakis - 2/4 with his 20th double and 2 steals (6).

  • Jack Cust - 3/5 with his 9th home run.  He's 6/8 in his last 2 games.

  • J.D. Drew - 1/3 with 2 walks.  He's been hitting leadoff lately.

  • Manny Ramirez - 2/4 with his 10th home run.  He's on pace for the worst season of his career.  He is 35, but he is actually striking out at a lower rate than he did in 2006, but isn't hitting for the power he always has. 

  • Adam Dunn - 3/4 with 2 home runs (19).  He's up to .275 on the year - on pace for the highest average of his career, but his strikeout rate is actually higher in 2007 than it was in 2006 and is higher than his career mark.

  • Michael Young - 2/4 to extend his hit streak to 10 games.  Only 3 doubles during this time as well.

  • Adrian Gonzalez - 4/5 with 3 doubles (21) and a home run (14).  He's been slumping lately, but this could spark a return to his April prowess.

  • Mike Cameron - 3/4 with 2 home runs (8).  A disappointing year, but he is still a 20/20 candidate.

  • Khalil Greene - 2/5 with his 8th home run.  He might be starting to heat up, and he hasn't been consistent, but his strikeout rate is very low for a .230 hitter.

  • Johnny Gomes - 3/3 with 2 home runs (4).  Rumor has it that Dukes could be traded any day, but regardless, Gomes is getting additional PT these days.  He's had home run success in the past and could be a big sleeper.

  • Jose Bautista - 2/5 with a home run (6).  He's enjoying the leadoff spot in Pittsburgh.

  • Josh Fields - 2/4 with his 2nd double.  That's three straight 2-hit games. 

  • Rafael Furcal - 2/5 with his 1st home run.  We've waited all year for this moment and now we have it.  He's hitting with Pierre-like power and has been a big disappointment.

  • Howie Kendrick - 3/5 with a double (7).  He's shown signs of life lately, and has his average back in the .275 range. 

  • Reggie Willits - 2/3 with 2 walks.  Yeah - he's a rookie, but why is he hitting at the bottom of the order?  He has three times as many walks as Figgins.

  • Orlando Cabrera - 3/5 with his 22nd double.  He's up to .342 on the year.

  • Alex Rodriguez - 2/2 with a double (15) and home run (27). 

  • Johnny Damon - 2/5 with his 4th home run.  Broke a 2/16 stretch.

Pitching

  • Fausto Carmona - 7 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 5 k's.  He runs his record to 8-2 with a 3.10 ERA.  He has picked up his strikeout rate recently as well, with 22 in his last 27 innings vs. 22 in his first 69.1.

  • Micah Bowie - 6 IP, 4 hits, 3 walks and 6 k's.  A winning record (4-2) and a sub-4 ERA for the Nationals is certainly newsworthy.

  • Brian Burres - 7 IP, 5 hits, 2 walks and 9 k's.  His best start of the year, he's struggled in the past with his control and had a 19/17 k/bb ratio as a starter coming into the game.

  • Kevin Millwood - 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 walks and 10 k's.  His best performance in years, and surprisingly none of his strikeout victims were Adam Dunn.  His ERA is still over 7.50 and his strikeout ratio is barely over 2:1.

  • Justin Verlander - 6 IP, 7 hits, 2 walks and 6 k's.  Not another no-hitter, but he continues to impress with his strikeout rate - 35 in his last 34 innings.  He'll only get more valuable from a fantasy perspective.

  • Javier Vazquez - 6 IP, 7 hits, 1 walk and 8 k's.  A typical Vazquez performance - would you guess he gave up 5 runs from these numbers? 

  • Kelvim Escobar - 7 IP, 8 hits, 2 walks and 8 k's. 

  • Chien-Ming Wang - 8.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 walk and 10 k's.  He almost doubled his previous season-high in strikeouts.  Even with his poor k/9 ratio he still posts a 3/1 k/bb.
