Dont Stop Believing!


Thanks for coming back The Hot Corner. Sorry about the lack of posting and I’ll try and get more current in these crucial final few weeks of fantasy baseball. If you have any questions or comments I will try and reply as quickly as possible and just submit them by clicking on the comments link. I’ve been noticing that people are giving up on their teams especially with football drafts lately. There is still a whole month of baseball to play and teams still have about a quarter of their games left to play. Stay active especially if you are in the running for the money. In a little while I may get some posts for football so stay tuned.

The important thing I must stress is to be aggressive and make trades especially if you’re not in first. Trade a closer to get some pop especially if you have some ground on the guy under you. Grab someone like Brad Hennessey to vulture a couple of saves that you lost. Probably nothing changes but you make gain a little in hitting. Another guy that I like, but may not be available is Raul Ibanez. After a career year last year, he had a slow start. However, this month he’s bounced back hitting over .400 with 9 bombs.

Looking for speed? Fantasy players in deep leagues might want to grab Kazuo Matsui. I’ll repeat that again. Fantasy players in deep leagues might want to grab Kazuo Matsui. I never thought I’d say that after his time with the Mets, but the less powerful Matsui has been a good option this month with 23 runs and is 11 for 11 in stolen base attempts. Plus he is showing that he won’t kill your average.

As I have always mentioned, look for guys in those tight pennant races. Chris B. Young, (Arizona’s speedy outfielder) is a player I like, who had two homers last night. Also Aramis Ramirez has been in a little bit of a struggle and it might be a great time to grab him if you can get him cheap. And after collecting 6 hits in the past two nights, Ian Kinsler may deserve another shot on your team especially if you have injuries as with Edgar Renteria. Thanks for reading.
