A little slow this week with the All-Star game and no injuries or call-ups, but I wanted to get a list up this week. You can find my daily updates at RotoSavants.com. As always I will try to supply one from each of the following positions at my weekly review here on Crooked Pitch (C, CI, MI, OF, SP and RP) I will include there current availability which may have changed since my initial review.
C - Gerald Laird - I have reviewed him before and he is a quality backup or injury fill in and Texas prefers to use him behind the plate when healthy. I expect him to get right back to work when he gets of the DL.
He is owned in 12% of CBS leagues
CI - Chad Tracy- I was shocked to see him only at 23% ownership as he is worth owning in mixed leagues and can play 1B or 3B. His flexibility and 20 homer potential are must adds. He won’t likely reach the 27 homers he did 2005, but he is a great backup for his flexibility.
He is only owned in 23% of CBS leagues.
MI - Jed Lowrie - He might not give this up this season and starting in Boston he should get enough R and RBI opportunities batting even at the back of the order. Being a SS makes him that more valuable and any league playing MI he should be owned. I would play him over someone like Betancourt.
He is only owned in 12% of CBS leagues.
OF - Cody Ross - Something about those Marlins they find the talent to compete every year. It’s a shame they don’t play in a big market to get a better fan base, but then they probably wouldn’t play these young guys. Ross is on a tare and in his age 27 year is having a huge season. All of his ratios look good and even his BABIP is a bit low at .270.
He is only owned in 60% of CBS leagues.
SP - Anibal Sanchez - His ownership will shoot up once people see he is almost back and his name will carry value for his no hitter. I don’t see him as the pitcher with an ERA under 3 he had that year, but he is surely able to help your team. Plus as well as the Marlins are hitting he should have a good opportunity to get some wins.
He is owned in 4% of leagues.
RP - Octavio Dotel - I suggested him back when Gagne was pulled for ineffectiveness, but now I am suggesting him more as a ratio helper as the season wears down. If you are doing well in wins then he is a good help in K, ERA and WHIP. Plus he is getting the odd save to only increas his value. His K/9 stands at 12.76!
He is only owned in 18% as of this morning on CBS.
