Like so many players on the Minnesota Twins, starting pitcher Carl Pavano started the season off slow as he posted a 5.19 earn run average in the first two months of the season. In Pavano's first three starts in June, the veteran has thrown two complete games while a 1.44 earn run average and an equally impressive 1.08 WHIP with two wins. The Twins are heating up as is evidence of the three waiver wire pick ...

You wouldn't think one of the top pitchers in the league this year would be having an up and down season but that has been the case for Jered Weaver of the Angels. In the first month of the season Weaver won his first six starts and then followed that up with failing to win a game in May as he dropped four games. Thus far, in June, Weaver is back on a tear as he had two wins and has looked great in each out ...

While rookies like Anthony Rizzo, Mike Moustakas and Dee Gordon are the talk of the town in fantasy baseball there is another rookie that's playing great and that is Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman. It took the youngster sometime to get going as he started with the Braves from Opening Day on, but he clearly looks to be on the right track now as he has a .333 batting average in the past month. Owned in ...

  Sometimes fantasy sports can be a cruel game of poor timing and those who draft Jacoby Ellsbury last season must be cursing his name this year as a rib injury cost him basically the entire season, but this year he's one of the top five outfielders in fantasy baseball. Much was made of where Ellsbury would hit in the Red Sox lineup but after Carl Crawford had such a poor start, Ellsbury was a shoe-in ...

  Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens continues to enjoy a bounce back season as he's well on his way to a All Star appearance next month with eight wins and an earn run average under two. This week, Jurrjens is a two start pitcher as he's projected to face the Mets and Rangers in his home stadium. This should be a challenge for Jurrjens, but the way he's pitching right now, he can't be viewed as any ...

The only notable fantasy relevance Alexi Ogando had this spring was that he was rumored to be the Rangers possible closer if Neftali Feliz decided to move into the starting rotation. By that start of the season, it was Ogando, not Feliz, that went into the Rangers starting lineup. Who would have thought a week into June Ogando would have seven wins, and no loses with an earn run average almost under two? Th ...

As we move deeper into the season top prospects will find their way to the pro's so I thought I would include an update for potential star talents like Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas. By mid May, it looked like Moustakas wasn't going receive a call up as veteran Wilson Betemit and Mike Aviles were hitting well, and Moustakas was struggling. In recent weeks Moustakas has corrected a few problems and his ...

Just when it looked like Evan Longoria was going to breakout if his funk the star third baseman Saturdays' game with a side injury. Considering Longoria already missed a month of the season with a strained oblique muscle, this isn't the kind of news fantasy owners want to hear as we have to wonder if he's possibly going to miss extended time. Thankfully, the injury is not considered serious so keep your fin ...

  Last year, was a tale of two season for Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez as he had 15 wins before the All Star break and then fell apart in the final months. Until last weeks' performance against the Dodgers, Jimenez had pickup up right where he left off last season, with a 5.86 earn run average and no wins to his name. Jimenez's last outing was a complete game shout as he displayed quality control on the ...

Hopefully the weather will start to warm up around the country as we head into the first full week of June. While Seattle is known for cooler weathers, the Mariners are hot as they take their act on the road against the White Sox and Tigers. To help the Mariners in a seven game week, the team will have their top pitchers Felix Hernandez and rookie Michael Pineda doubling up. Other star pitchers with two pro ...
