He's BAAAAAACK.....tomorrow. Manny Ramirez will return from his 50 game suspension on Friday and all of you who were patient over the past six weeks, get the man back in your lineup on Friday. I believe that Manny will come back into the lineup and hit right away. Unfortunately for you Juan Pierre owners, he is scheduled to go right back to the…

Adam Lind hit his 16th homer of the year, and the questions will arise again about his future. Is this a breakout season for Lind or just a one year wonder. …

John Smoltz had his second start of the season interrupted by rain, but it was much better than his first. Smoltz only pitched four innings, but allowed just three hits, one run, and struck out two. I am still on the fence on what to expect from him this season, but this was definitely a step in the right direction. At this point…

Rich Harden had one of those dominating starts that we have been waiting for on Monday. He did allow nine hits, but only one run and struck out nine over seven innings. The Cubs, and many fantasy players I know, are hoping that this is the start of a big run by Harden and he will start to pitch like he has for…

Is this the next Dave Winfield?
Boom or bust...
The Florida Marlins have a short history. That history though has had some success (1997, 2003) only to be followed by the revamping of the roster due to economic reasons. Today, the Marlins payroll remains low, with young arms like Chris Volstad, Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, and Sean West join young position players like Hanley Ramirez and Jeremy Hermida. Another super athlete could…

I think the Phillies are going to come up with a new promotion. It will be Brad Lidge Night sponsored by Tums. Lidge did collect his 14th save, but as usual there was drama. Lidge gave up a bunt single, followed by a walk. The good news is he wiggled out of it, but boy he likes to make them interesting. Obviously, Ryan…

Scott Kazmir returned to the Rays' rotation, and I have to say he pitched much better than I anticipated. Kazmir was struggling badly before he was placed on the DL, but his pitching line was pretty sharp on Saturday. Kazmir was his usual self, only lasting five innings, but allowed just two runs, walked only one and struck out five. While I…

J.J. Hardy has been picking it up a little bit as of late, and hit his seventh homer of the season on Friday. Hardy has averaged hitting .280 with 25 homers over the past two seasons, but hasn't looked like the same guy this year. However, this was his fourth multi-hit game in the last ten days, so while he is…

Joey Votto was just a triple short of the cycle, as he looks like he is back from his injury issues and should absolutely be back in your lineups. Votto has the ability to hit for some power, and will also give you a great batting average. He should hit .310-.320 and will give you 20-23 homers even with the games that he…

Jhonny Peralta homered for the second time in three games, and now looks like he might be rounding into shape. He homered for the second time in three games, and now has eight hits in his last five games. He still has a ways to go to get anywhere near the stats he had last season, but ne no longer looks like someone…
