I’ve always been skeptical of Heyward because of his declining walk rate (91 in 2010 and 58 in 2012) and his rising strikeout rate (128 in 2010 and 152 in 2012). I’m not including 2011 because he had about 125 fewer at-bats than the other two seasons. But this season, I drank gallons and gallons of J-Hey Kool-Aid. First, trusted fantasy analysts were picking him to win the MVP. As a Braves homer, this didn’t help matters. In addition to the lofty praise, his advanced statistics like ISO (Isolated Power or Slugging – Batting Average) showed that the power growth was legit, and he still had room to grow. He hit 18 homers in 2010 with an ISO of only .179. In 2012, when he belted 27 homers, his ISO was still only .210. That’s not a bad number, but an ISO of .270 or so correlates to a home run total around the mid to high 30s, a number that seems entirely possible for Heyward.

But again, this season has been a massive disappointment. Yes, Heyward missed a month with an appendectomy, but his numbers, across the board, suck. Not only is his batting average terrible (.155), but he’s not even getting lucky — his BABIP (Batting Average on Balls in Play) is a pathetic .169. This means Heyward has sucked, and he’s been really unlucky. Going back to his power, his ISO is a microscopic .118. Just as a point of reference, Cubs starting pitcher Travis Wood has a (totally unsustainable) ISO of .292 with 2 homers, the same number as Heyward has so far this season going into tonight. It has taken Heyward128 at-bats to get to two home runs while it has only take Wood 26. Sigh.

I took Heyward with the 17th overall pick, and I’ve regretted it ever since. I took him over some excellent third basemen like Adrian Beltre and Evan Longoria, and I’m still wishing I could go back and do it again, especially because I’m starting Cardinals utility man Daniel Descalso at the hot corner this week. The hardest thing to do is to assess struggling player’s values when making trades. On Wednesday of last week, my buddy told me he would give me Dominic Brown for Jason Heyward straight up. I scoffed at him, mainly because he had seriously just picked up Brown. I wasn’t about to give him my second rounder for a pick up. But after Brown’s last week, highlighted by 7 homers, 13 RBIs, and 35, yes 35, total bases, I’m wondering if I didn’t make a giant mistake. Even though he’s struggling, I’m having a hard time letting Heyward go for like 45 cents on the dollar. I keep saying Heyward’s gonna get hot and play like the second rounder he is (or was?) I just gotta keep faith, but I’m open to trading one of my favorite players who I really think (or thought?) can (or could?) win an MVP. Fantasy baseball has so many positives, but this is one of the times when I wish I didn’t have to make these tough and seemingly impossible decisions.

Evan Gattis (Braves): People look at the overall numbers and assume Gattis is a must-start. He is batting .269 with 22 runs, 12 home runs, 32 RBIs and a .922 OPS. The problem is playing time. Brian McCann is healthy and will catch most of the time. Gattis can’t play first base with Freddie Freeman there. Gattis has received some playing time in the outfield, especially with the struggles of B.J. Upton, but Upton is starting to show signs of hitting. Gattis is also an awful defensive outfielder and he has a 33/6 K/BB ratio against righthanders. Unless there is an injury, Gattis will not get enough at-bats to be started unless it’s an NL-only league.

Chris Davis (Orioles):  Many want to call the start for Davis a fluke. It’s not. He’s always showed the skills and put it together last season with a .270 average, 33 home runs and 85 RBIs. Davis has made improvements in 2013, cutting his strikeout percentage from 30.1 percent to 23.1 percent and increased his walk rate from 6.6 percent to 12.4 percent. Davis is batting .357 with 43 runs, 20 home runs and 52 RBIs. The average will come down, but he is legit and should not be sold high. If someone wants to sell high, make an offer.

Kris Medlen (Braves): Medlen had a great run last season with 12 excellent starts and it inflated his stock in 2013. He’s not as good as he showed last season. Medlen has a 3.48 ERA and 1.36 WHIP and it could actually be worse. He doesn’t get a lot of strikeouts and relies on location and excellent control. The K/9 has dropped from 7.83 to 6.68 and the BB/9 has went up from 1.50 BB/9 to 3.34. If you can cash in on Medlen’s name value, do it now. There’s a chance he could lose his spot in the rotation when Brandon Beachy returns.

Hishashi Iwakuma (Mariners): Can he maintain a 2.13 ERA? No. Will he regress a lot? No. He’s legit and showed it last season in a brief stint as a starter. Iwakuma knows how to pitch. He is 6-1 with a 2.13 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 8.29 K/9 and a 1.46 BB/9. He’s still underrated.

After 9 grueling weeks, I find myself tied for 1st overall in the league at 6-3.  This past week proved to be the toughest of any of the weeks as I played one of the most in-tuned owners in the league named Jeggs.  No surprised to anyone, it was a heavyweight match as we ended 1 and 2 for the week in  most points scored.  I must admit I had my doubts coming into the week, but I ended up the victor and left Jeggs with a bad fantasy loss which is never easy to take.

Cliff Lee has really been carrying me the last few weeks by  pitching gem after gem. Mix in what Patrick Corbin and Mike Minor have been doing and I have a 3 starters who have gone 8-0 over the past 15 days.  Those 3 pitchers have gotten me 68 strikeouts over the time as well while limiting the walks.  Anyone who has had these 3 guys on their team during the season probably has more wins than losses.  I’m just hoping Cole Hamels can get out of this rut of bad losses and my team could become dominant.

My offense has really been something to talk about as well.  In the past 15 days, my offense has slugged 24 HRs with 66 RBIs led by Adam Jones, Tulowitzski, and Ryan Zimmerman with 5, 4 and 4 HRs each respectively.  Kelly Johnson had 11 RBIs the past 2 weeks and I am struggling with the idea that he can keep this up, but after a 1/3 of the way through the season, he is simply mashing.  I have to keep going with him until he fades away.

This week I meet up with another 6-3 team, The Skitz, who has stud pitchers galore, but average hitters at best.  The Skitz has been at the top of the standings from the beginning of the season so to take him down would be a big win for me.  He is one of the only 2 teams to have more points (97) scored than me on the season so by default, it should be the best match-up in the league.  Next week I go against a 4-5 team and then another 6-3 team.  If I go 2-1, I’ll be happy, but if by some chance I can go 3-0, I’ll be ecstatic.  But first things first, got to take care of “The Skitz”.

David Freese 3B, Cardinals – After only batting .163 after April, Freese has turned things around. He’s up to .256 now with only four games without a hit since the start of April. Many of the people who drafted Freese may have given up on him. If he’s free in your league, pick him up while he’s on an uptick.

Yasiel Puig OF, Dodgers – Since Matt Kemp has gone on the DL, Puig is being called up from Double-A. He’s been hitting .313 so far in Chattanooga with eight home runs, 37 RBI, and 13 stolen bases. We’ll have to see what Puig does when he gets to the big leagues, but he may earn playing time for when Kemp comes off the DL. Caution: was arrested in April for driving 97 in a 50 MPH zone, reckless driving , driving without insurance.

Chris Carter 1B, OF, Astros – If you can afford a bad average and trade it for home runs and RBI, make a move for Carter. Tied for seventh in the majors with 11 home runs with a .223 average and a decent number of RBI (31).

Yunel Escobar SS, Rays – Over the past 30 days Escobar has hit for .312 average, with 19 RBI and runs. He’s still available in my Yahoo league and is only 10% owned.

Marcell Ozuna OF, Marlins – Ozuna has really taken advantage of his playing time with Giancarlo Stanton on the DL. Since we don’t know exactly when Stanton will be coming back, you should go take a look at Ozuna. He’s batting .333 in 117 at bats. He won’t give you much power, but across the rest of the board, he’ll contribute pretty well.

Jarrod Parker SP, Athletics – Check out Parker’s past four starts: six earned runs, 21 strikeouts 2-1 record. Careful though, he’s also allowed 17 hits, six walks, and two home runs.

Bartolo Colon SP, Athletics – Colon is screaming for my attention, but I’m doing my best to ignore him. His past four starts has shown him only allow five earned runs, three wins, 15 strikeouts, and taken his ERA down from 4.57 to 3.33. Get him while he’s hot, but don’t get caught when he blows up.

AND THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!

Two-thirds of the LOVE staff boasted an incredible ERA of 9.00 or higher, led by Jake Peavy (CWS) and Kris Medlen (ATL) both with an astounding 13.50!  In Medlen’s defense, he did leave the game after only 2 innings with a contusion on his left calf caused by a comebacker.  And you know I have to defend Medlen because Barves; go Barves!  Thankfully decent outings by Adam Wainwright (STL) and Ryan Dempster (BOS) helped give me a combined 6.373 ERA for the match-up, a league-high for the week, but better than what could have been, no doubt.  For context’s sake, Shmn ended the week with a 3.474, certainly not the best ERA in the league (it was actually 5th), but more than enough to beat me.

Oddly enough, the rest of the match-up was pretty close, but since I’m sure you don’t care to know the specifics, I’ll just give you the highlights:

• For the first time EVER I won the batting strike-out category (with 63 Ks)!  This is monumental for me, as I almost consistently lead the league in strike-outs.  Honestly though, 63 strike-outs is pretty awful, I was just lucky that Shmn’s batter struck out 70 times.  Woo for small victories!!
• I also won categories for runs (33), stolen bases (7), and batting average (.2422) and tied wins (2).  This left the final score at 4-6-1.  Much closer than I expected and a huge improvement over the 0-9-2 score I had day 2 or 3 of this week.
• Matt Carpenter (STL) had a great week and has proven to be a great pick-up (I grabbed him off of the Free Agents list a couple days after the draft because I was in need of a decent multi-use player).  He went 10 for 24 with 3 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI, and 1 SB.  Solid production, solid get.
• J-Hey (ATL), a personal favorite, was not so good this week.  And by not so good, I mean bad.  J-Hey was bad, cringe,  it just hurts saying that.  He went 0 for 14 with 5 strike-outs.  Yikes.  His season average now stands at a sad .142  That is with a brief stint on the DL for an appendectomy, maybe he’ll start to improve soon.  Hopefully.  Reeeealllllyyyyy hopefully. Sigh.

Those are pretty much the highlights of this week’s loss against the ATL Burner’s.  I guess its only appropriate that as a life-long Braves fan I would lose to the team responsible for the demise of the city of Atlanta.  Though it probably has more to do with the fact that Shmn is currently ranked first in Teh Lulz League, and I’m ninth, sad face.  Maybe I’ll just continue to tank like the Astros and hold out for Rodon next year.  Oh wait, fantasy doesn’t work that way?  Darn.

E

Hot:

1. Jedd Gyorko: Since Sunday Gyorko has been batting .388 with 6 runs scored, 1 home run and 3 RBI. Gyorko has been hot all month and, for a second baseman, has more pop than most. He seems to be increasing his stock and with games coming against Seattle and Toronto look for Gyorko to keep up this hot streak. You may think about sitting him if you have better options at second, but at such a weak position, you should probably plan on starting him.
2. Dayan Viciedo: Viciedo has been one of the hotter hitting batters in the month of May batting .400. In the past week he has gone 6 for 22 with 2 runs scored and 1 RBI.  He has been batting well recently and with matchups this week against their inner city rival Cubs and then heading to Oakland, Viciedo is an above average start this week.
3. Jon Jay: I’m not sure there has been a more polar player this season than Jay. To start the year he was ice cold and losing the lead off spot to Matt Carpenter. Since the beginning of May, Jay has debuted a new swing and caught fire. In the past week, Jay has gone 6 for 19 with 5 runs scored and 1 RBI. He has been a force in the second half of the Cardinals order. With an already tough lineup, Jay should keep seeing plenty of pitches to hit, and with games this week against the Royals and the Giants, Jay would be a good start.

Cold:

1. Josh Rutledge: Rutledge has not actually been terrible thus far this year, in fact he was on pace for a 15 HR/ 15 SB year. He lands on the cold list due to the fact that he was DFA to triple-A Colorado Spring this week. DJ LeMahieu will take his place, but we are not sure when Rutledge could or will come back up to the big club
2. Dee Gordon: The book on Gordon contains one word: speed. If he gets on base, you better be sure he is running. The problem lies with getting on base.  He is batting .161 on the year and with Nick Punto batting .330, Gordon doesn’t stand much of a chance to see anything more than a reserve role until Punto cools off. Gordon may only see sporadic starts and even so, his stats are nothing to feel good about. The Dodgers get the Angels and Rockies this week, and Gordon should be a sit until he starts to show better numbers.
3. John Buck: Buck started the year as the number one catcher and number one overall batter in baseball. Since then he has slowly come back down to earth. Buck is still not a bad option, but with other catchers finding their swing and Buck slowing down from his torrid early season pace, there are better options. Buck has gone 3 for 14 in the last week with 1 HR, 2 runs, and 1 RBI.  The Mets in general have been abysmal. With matchups this week against the Yankees and the Marlins, Buck could be a good start in daily leagues when they head to Miami, but may be a questionable start against the Bronx Bombers. Proceed with caution here.

Pitchers:

The Aces:

1. Matt Garza: Garza looked good in his return throwing 82 pitches in 5 innings, and surrendering just one hit and 3 walks while striking out 5. For his first action in almost 10 months, this was a very positive start. His next start comes today against the Reds, which is probably a sit. The Reds have a good, hot lineup and its always a good idea to see the second start. I feel that sometimes the second and third starts are more telling because he is working his arm strength back up and has seen a few teams now. Again, proceed with caution.
2. A.J. Griffin: Griffin had a two-start week this week with the Royals and Astros. His Royals start was middle of the road going 6 innings with 7 hits, 2 walks and 5 strikeouts while giving up 3 runs to get a no decision. His second start came yesterday at home against the Astros.
3. Brandon McCarthy:  McCarthy has pitched well over his last two starts going 2-0 pitching 16 innings and giving up 8 hits, 4 walks, and 7 strikeouts while giving up only 1 run. His next start comes at the Rangers. While most people would be hesitant to start any pitcher at the Rangers with the homer friendly confines, McCarthy has induced 11 ground balls in his latest start against the Padres. This could bode very well against the Rangers.

The Jokers:

1. Jaime Garcia: It was reported this week that Garcia will be shutdown for the season following surgery to repair his injured shoulder. It is the same shoulder that forced him to shut it down last year as well. He tried to work his way back without surgery over last off-season knowing that this could very well, come back up. Garcia will be replaced by a myriad of young arms at this point. John Gast may be the best candidate to keep his spot. Gast was called up when Jake Westbrook went down earlier this month, and has pitched well going 2-0. Tyler Lyons has also been called up to make a start, and the Cardinals also have Michael Wacha who has been dominating down at triple-A for this entire year, and showed flashes of greatness in spring training as well. Take your pick who it will be for the year. There have even been rumors of Chris Carpenter coming back before the end of the season.
2. Jeremy Guthrie: Guthrie started the year on fire going 5-0 through the beginning of May but has since cooled going 0-2 in his last two starts and pitching 12 inning while giving up 19 hits, 6 walks, and having only two strikeouts. In that time he has also surrendered 11 runs against an up and down Angels team and a bad Astros lineup. His next start comes at home against the Angels. For this week you may want to sit him.
3. Kyle Lohse: Lohse was the pitcher everybody wanted, but no one wanted to pay for this offseason, until finally the Brewers brought him to their rotation. After going 16-3 last season Lohse has started this year going 1-5 with a 3.76 ERA. Chalk this up to a sub-par defense behind him or the difference in run support from last year to this year. Lohse has also been dealing with irritation in his elbow and was put as Day-to-day at this point. If you are a Lohse owner I would suggest sitting him until you see some positives if you feel confident he is going to turn this around. I think he will somewhat, but I just don’t know what that means for his end-of-year stats. In my leagues I would be dropping Lohse in favor of what else is out on the waiver wire.

INJURY NOTES:

1. Jered Weaver: Weaver should rejoin the rotation with the Angels this week according to the team. It looks like there is an open rotation spot on Thursday, but all signs point to being back this week.
2. David Price: Price has yet to play catch since heading to the DL, but says he feels good. Look for him to progress this week, but be on the lookout for any red flags.
3. Chase Utley: The Phillies sound optimistic that Utley will only require the minimum DL stint and will return to the lineup on June 5th.
4. Curtis Granderson: Granderson can’t catch a break. After sitting most of the year and finally getting back in the lineup, Granderson again is headed back to the DL due to being hit on the finger by a wild pitch. The team said Alex Rodriguez had a similar injury last season, which required a 5-week DL stint. Lets hope Granderson makes it back earlier than that.
5. Hanley Ramirez: Ramirez should require only 4 or 5 rehab starts before returning to the team. He should be able to start the rehab assignment this coming week, so look for Hanley to be back in the next two weeks barring setbacks.
6. Iam Kinsler: The Rangers are looking for Kinsler to only need the minimum DL stint and be back on June 2nd.
7. Austin Jackson: Jackson has started baseball activities this last week, but is not looking to be back anytime soon. He still has yet to begin swinging a bat, and has only been throwing since last week. He will be on the DL for the foreseeable future.
8. Giancarlo Stanton: Stanton has looked good in his rehab stints, but is still a few weeks from returning to action.
9. Jose Reyes: Reyes has been progressing nicely, but no one seems to have an updated timetable as to his return. It looks as though it may be soon after the all-star break.
10. Mark Texiera: Barring any setbacks, Texiera should be back in the Yankees lineup by next Friday. He said he has been swinging well and swinging hard with no problems, so all signs point to a return this week.
11. Will Middlebrooks: Middlebrooks has experienced back spasms and was placed on the 15-day DL. He should get plenty of time to rest and recuperate before heading back to the team in the minimum 15 days.

Team Spotlight: Arizona Diamondbacks

Arizona has been the sight of some really surprising fantasy giants this season. Just ask Paul Goldschmidt and Patrick Corbin. Goldschmidt was the “trendy” pick at firstbase this preseason. He had shown flashes of power and speed, and thus far has been everything you wanted. He is leading the Diamondbacks in batting average (.320), homeruns (12), RBI (38), runs (31), and OPS (1.002). Corbin on the other hand wasn’t even projected to be in the starting rotation. Since being placed there, Corbin has lead the team in wins (7), era (1.44), strikeouts (51), and whip (.98).

Its always assumed that players who perform this far above their head, especially in Corbin’s case, will come back to earth at some point, but my theory is ride it until that happens. I have added Corbin on my ESPN team and have been extremely happy with his production. His last start was a complete game giving up 3 hits, 1 walk, and one run while striking out 10.

The Diamondbacks have played very well this year even through injuries and are currently tied for first in the NL West with the also surprising Colorado Rockies. At 27-21. Once they start getting some of their big bat back, look for the D-backs to make a run. They are still waiting on Aaron Hill, Adam Eaton, Willie Bloomquist and Jason Kubel. They have to be wary of the ever-looming Giants and Dodgers as well, but for now it looks as if the Diamondbacks can write their own destiny.

Final Thoughts:

At this point in the season you should know your strong spots and weak spot. You should know if you team can consistently get a high batting average or if they can steal bases as well as have a high era and high whip or if they get a lot of strikeouts. This is the time of year to start with trades. If your team is anything like mine you have been decimated by injuries.  My goal in the last week (for my scoresheet team) is to acquire a new starting pitcher and catcher with Jamie Garcia being shut down and Wei-Yin Chen being put on the DL. My team only has 4 true starters. My other problem came Thursday/Friday with Jesus Montero being sent down to triple-A and the team saying they may try him at firstbase. I am currently in the middle of trade talks and will be able to update you this coming week as to what happens.

The same can applied to any of your teams. Start looking for trading partners at the very least. I have been scouring the teams of the 8-10 lowest teams in my league to see who would be a good trade partner. I also looked at my own lineup to see whom I could trade. You have to look at both sides. Be smart though. As much research as you put into a draft, you should put just as much into a trade, and the bigger the trade the more time you put in. Most people want do this so you can make some good progress through trade, just be smart about it and put some work in.

Chris Davis became only the second player in Orioles history to hit 20 homers in the team’s first 57 games. Davis hit number 20 off Detroit’s Rick Porcello Sunday as he would go 2-for-4 on the day with two runs scored. As the calendar turned to June this weekend Davis seemed determined to carry over his fabulous start to the season and quiet even more naysayers. Davis’ season numbers so far are rivaling that of 2012 Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera as his .357 average is second only to Cabrera’s .367, his 20 homers leads Cabrera by three and his RBI total is 13 off Cabrera’s record setting pace of 65 to this point. For those who decided Davis was too high a risk on draft day only to pass him over for a first baseman like Albert Pujols or Allen Craig you’re kicking yourself now. Davis is surely in for the best season of his career to date and may be becoming one of the game’s most prolific power threats.

Domonic Brown has been the hottest hitter in baseball over his last 10 games. Over that span Brown has hit 8 home runs and has raised his batting average from .262 to .282 with season totals of now 16 HR and 40 RBI. After the Phillies jerked Brown around from Majors to Minors, to Majors in a platoon, to now finally giving him every day at-bats, he has found his stroke and is raking. Over the 10 game span he’s had five multi-hit contests and has added two stolen bases. He still strikes out a bunch and hardly ever walks (11 BB in 202 AB) but the kid can definitely hit and is finally filling his potential in Philly.

Yasiel Puig has been summoned by the Dodgers and will be manning center field while Matt Kemp recovers from being pathetic and hurt. Puig is an uber-talented 22-year-old Dominican defector in the mold of Yoenis Cespedes with raw power and even better speed. I have heard scouts liken his build and skill set to my All-Time favorite Bo Jackson. His line in Double-A Chattanooga was .313/.383/.599 with eight bombs and 13 stolen bases. While Kemp is likely to return when eligible, Puig is absolutely worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues. Matt Magill was optioned to make room for Puig after being pummeled by Colorado.

AL Hot Shots:

• Clay Buccholz earned a rain-shortened complete game victory over the Yankees Sunday as he threw 5 scoreless before the skies opened up and dumped rain. After skipping a start due to AC joint pain from falling asleep with his baby daughter on his shoulder he was fantastic again. He will start Saturday vs the Angels.
• Jarrod Parker has bounced back with three straight solid performances as he tossed 6 1/3 innings with 7 Ks on Sunday in a win over the White Sox.
• Chris Perez will resume throwing Wednesday, Vinnie Pestano is the add in his absence still.
• Shane Victorino will remain on the DL and had his rehab put on hold as he is still not able to run at 100%
• Chris Sale’s scoreless streak was snapped at 28 innings by the Athletics. He pitched well enough to win but was outdueled by A’s starter Jarrod Parker.
• Hector Ambriz recorded his second save of the week as Jose Veras was unavailable after consecutive days with a save.  Veras is still the guy to own and has been solid twice in a row with a 96 mph heater with great movement. However, Ambriz is the obvious choice should Veras faulter at any point.
• Brian Dozier has a quiet little seven game hit streak going as he was 3-for-4 Sunday with a homer. He has two homers in the seven game stretch.
• Kevin Gausman pitched very well in a win over the Tigers on Sunday. He twirled six innings of one-run ball walking no one and striking out five. The promising start could buy him some leash.
• Yunel Escobar is heating up for the Rays as he’s posted multi-hit games in four of his last eight games and now has 5 homers after his dinger on Sunday. Evan Longoria also went yard.
• Alexi Ogando will join the Rangers rotation on Wednesday in Boston.

NL Hot Shots:

• Hanley Ramirez will not be activated Monday as the Dodgers chose to give him a rehab start instead, he should be in your lineup for this week however.
• Rex Brothers will handle closing duties in Colorado as Rafael Betancourt was placed on the DL with a groin strain. The move is retroactive to June 1^st.
• Chad Gaudin was good in his first start for the Giants and will likely stick around for another start this week.
• Dexter Fowler hit a pair of long balls off Dodgers starter Matt Magill on Sunday and is 10-for-24 over his last 7 games.
• Brandon Phillips may miss two or three games this  week with a forearm injury after being HBP on Saturday.
• Patrick Corbin allowed 4 ER but moved to a perfect 9-0 with a 2.06 ERA and 1.05 WHIP after allowing 7 ER over his last two starts.
• Paul Goldschmidt had a monster weekend hitting a grand slam on Saturday and going 2-for-3 with an RBI and 3 runs scored on Sunday while adding two stolen bases. His average is up to .337 and he is currently on pace for 38 homers and 17 stolen bases. That’s fantasy “Gold” at first base.
• Cliff Lee picked the Phillies up Sunday with 7 2/3 strong innings and 11 Ks in a 7-5 win over the Brewers. Cole Hamels coughed up a 3-0 lead on Saturday falling to 1-9 on the year.
• Bryce Harper is aiming to resume baseball activities by the end of the week. He admittedly should have gone on the DL immediately following his “face-meet-wall” incident in LA.

Getting the call:

• The Brewers have called up their 2B prospect Scooter Gennett. With the addition of Juan Francisco from waivers and Gennett the Brewers are seemingly tired of Yuniesky Betancourt and Rickie Weeks lacking production. Aramis Ramirez may be spelled for Francisco a few times a week and Gennett could conceivably do the same for Weeks. Francisco could possibly find time at 1B while Corey Hart rehabs his knee.
• Tyler Skaggs will be recalled from Triple-A Reno to make a start on Tuesday. Skaggs will probably stick this time as Brandon McCarthy could be out a while with shoulder discomfort. Skaggs was outstanding in his last start, hopefully you stashed him and didn’t drop him when he was sent down.
• Clete Thomas was called up from Triple-A Rochester after hitting .296 with 9 HR over 36 games. He could steal time at all three OF positions and can play CF. The Aaron Hicks experiment could be nearing its end in Minnesota.
• Zack Wheeler is expected to make one more start at Triple-A before being promoted in time for the Mets home series against the Cubs. His owns a 3.86 ERA in Triple-A and is worth an add.

Hold the line: Coming Soon?

Carlos Zambrano could be in line to become the Phillies 5^th starter in the near future. Big Z has excelled with the Phillies farm system and threw six scoreless Sunday with High-A Clearwater. Gatorade coolers league-wide should run and hide. Big Z pitching in Philly sounds like a lot of homers for opposing teams.

Yordano Ventura has sky rocketed onto the scene after narrowly missing out on a rotation spot for the Royals this spring.  Ventura posted a 2.34 ERA and 11.9 K/9 at the Double-A level and was promoted to Triple-A on Sunday. He may not be long for the big league rotation if he keeps this up.

Rangers slugging prospect Mike Olt has been moved up to the Triple-A level. He had vision issues but after receiving corrective surgery he has been raking.  He will be looking to improve on his .139 average to start the year.

Hiroyuki Nakajima has upped his batting average to .317 at Triple-A Sacramento. There is no reason for them to call him up but Jed Lowrie, after a hot start, has been on an offensive downward-spiral of late. He could be up at some point to get a taste of the show.

Follow me on Twitter @CasKnowsRoto

First, he’s not really a center fielder, meaning he’s likely to be even more valuable when Kemp returns, assuming he gets the necessary playing time. Carl Crawford is currently battling his own hamstring tightness, and Andre Either is a mediocre player who struggles terribly against left handed pitching (.286 OBP, and 16 K’s in only 58 at-bats). Puig has speed, and he has a cannon for a right arm, so either position would suit him well. Between Crawford’s injuries and Either’s struggles, I don’t see how Puig won’t get plenty of at-bats to make him an extremely valuable player for a remainder of the season.

Second, after his sizzling start in spring training this year, he’s continued to play well for Double-A Chattanooga. He batted .313 with an OPS of .982, to go along with 13 steals. While he needs to work on being a more patient hitter, (and his .383 OBP shows us he’s improving) his violent, slashing swing should correlate to the big leagues. Puig is a true five-tool-player, and while his skills are raw, I think they help fantasy teams the first time he steps into the box against LHP Eric Stults on Monday.
