Line of the Day: Nick Hundley: August 16th, 2011

Catcher Nick Hundley went 3-for-4 with two triples, an RBI and two runs scored in the San Diego Padres 6-1 victory over the New York Mets. He became the 14th player in Padres history to hit two triples in a game and the first catcher to do so since Fred Kendall in 1973. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 3 H | 1 RBI; 2 3B

My fantasy perspective: The 2011 season was supposed to be the year Hundley went from a backup/part-time catcher to the starter/primary catcher for the Padres but a couple of injuries have caused him to miss over two months of playing time.

Since returning from his latest DL stint (elbow surgery), Hundley has been absolutely on fire. In four games, he's gone 9-for-16 (.563 BA) with a double, two triples and a home run. If your team is in need of help at the catcher position, he's only owned in 3% of ESPN, 6% of Yahoo! and 15% of CBS leagues.

Line of the Day: Jim Thome: 600th Home Run Edition

Jim Thome became the eighth member of the exclusive 600-Home Run Club in explosive fashion, homering twice and driving in five runs to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 9-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was the 48th multi-homer game of his career. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 3 H | 5 RBI; 2 HR

My fantasy perspective: Thome hasn't been fantasy relevant in 2011 and really only has value while he's on a hot streak as a short term fix. But none of the matters when it comes to a career milestone such as hitting 600 career home runs. Congratulations to one of the truly good guys in the game of baseball.

Question: Will Thome be a "first ballot" Hall of Famer?

Line of the Day: Brandon Belt: August 14th, 2011

Brandon Belt homered twice and drove in two runs to help lead the San Francisco Giants to a 5-2 win over the Florida Marlins. It was the first multi-homer game of his young career and should be a sign of good things to come for the rookie first baseman. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 2 H | 2 RBI; 2 HR

My fantasy perspective: Belt's numbers haven't been pretty (.232/.330/.415) but neither have Aubrey Huff's (.249/.303/.381) and he's been given a ton more at bats. This situation is worth monitoring closely until it becomes clearer how Belt and Huff will be used at first base and whether either/both will also see some time in the outfield.

Belt has to be considered the future at first base for the Giants but his fantasy baseball value may not be realized until the 2012 season. NL-only, dynasty and deep keeper leaguers should be most interested in his usage and performance over the next seven-plus weeks. New leaguers or redrafters should target Belt in the late rounds next season and see how things play out in Spring Training.

Question: Should Belt be the Giants' everyday first baseman going forward or should he be stuck in a platoon with Huff?

Line of the Day: Tim Lincecum: August 13th, 2011

Tim Lincecum allowed two hit, three walks, hit a batter and struck out 10 over seven scoreless innings to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 3-0 win over the Florida Marlins. It was the 31st double-digit strikeout game of his career. He also lowered his road ERA to a major league-leading 2.08. (video recap)

Line: 7 IP | 2 H | 0 ER | 3 BB | 10 K; W | QS

My fantasy perspective: Lincecum is currently the 11th-ranked starting pitcher in fantasy baseball with his 11 wins, 2.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 175 strikeouts. With a 2.81 FIP, a 3.07 xFIP and a .277 BABIP against (via FanGraphs), you can expect more of the same from him over the rest of the way.

He has a chance to win 15 or more games this season with well over 200 strikeouts and an ERA and WHIP near career lows yet won't be in the running for another Cy Young Award, unless he goes on an incredible run to end the season. That's okay, though, for his fantasy owners who continue to benefit from owning one of the most dominant starting pitchers in the game.

Line of the Day: Dan Uggla: August 12th, 2011

Dan Uggla went 3-for-3 with two home runs to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 10-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. His first hit, a home run to lead off the second inning, extended his hitting streak to a franchise record 32 games. (video recap)

Line: 3 AB | 3 R | 3 H | 2 RBI; 2 HR | HBP

My fantasy perspective: Uggla's season has definitely been a tale of two halves. His hitting streak actually started prior to the All-Star break, but the numbers are still fascinating. In 92 games prior, he hit .185 with 15 home runs, 34 RBI and a .621 OPS. In 26 games since, he's hitting .371 with 11 home runs, 26 RBI and a 1.122 OPS.

Over the entire span of the streak
, Uggla is batting .370 (47-for-127) with a .379 BABIP, .426 OBP and a .740 SLG. The Braves have gone 19-13 and have a six-game lead in the NL Wild Card standings.

Question: Anyone missing Omar Infante and Mike Dunn now?

Line of the Day: Albert Pujols: August 11th, 2011

Albert Pujols went 4-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-2 victory over the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers. The homer was his 28th of the season and tied him with fellow Cardinal Lance Berkman for the NL lead. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 4 H | 2 RBI; HR

My fantasy perspective: Pujols is having the worst offensive season of his entire 11 year career. He's on pace for only 38 home runs, 99 RBI and 107 runs scored with a .284 batting average. ONLY! His current numbers (.284/78/28/72/6) are enough to rank him as the third-best first baseman in fantasy baseball behind only Adrian Gonzalez (1st) and Prince Fielder (2nd) but ahead of Joey Votto (4th).

A deeper look into his numbers show his BB% of 8.5% is well below his career rate of 13.2% and his current BABIP of .256 is also well below his career .311 mark. He's also hitting less line drives, more ground balls and fewer fly balls this season than compared to his career norms.

Be careful when referring to Pujols as having a "down year" without putting it into the context of what a "down year" means for him. Most players will never have a "career year" as good as Albert's worst season.

Question: Which team "breaks the bank" to sign Pujols this offseason?

Line of the Day: Jason Kipnis: August 10th, 2011

Jason Kipnis went 5-for-5 with a double, a home run, three RBI and four runs scored to power the Cleveland Indians to a 10-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Ubaldo Jimenez's home debut. Kipnis now has six home runs, the first six of his career, over his last 10 games. (video recap)

Line: 5 AB | 4 R | 5 H | 3 RBI; 2B | HR

My fantasy perspective: Kipnis started slow (2-for-17 in his first six games) but has been on fire over his last 10 games. He's gone 16-for-44 (.364 BA) with three doubles, six home runs, 10 RBI and 13 runs scored and a .417 OBP and a .841 SLG. Those numbers are good enough to rank him second overall for fantasy second basemen over the last 15 days behind only Dan Uggla, who's currently riding a 31-game hitting streak.

You'd better move quickly to the waiver wire if you need second base or middle infielder help because his ownership numbers are on the rise! He's now owned in 58.6% of ESPN leagues, 27% of Yahoo! leagues and 56% of CBS leagues.

Line of the Day: James Shields: August 9th, 2011

James Shields allowed six hits and struck out eight, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 4-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals. It was his major league-leading eighth complete games and fourth shutout this season. (video recap)

Line: 9 IP | 6 H | 0 ER | 3 BB | 8 K; W | QS | CG | SHO

My fantasy perspective: Shields looks to be on pace for a 15-win season with a sub-3.00 ERA and a WHIP near 1.10 with well over 200 strikeouts. What more could you ask for from a guy with an ADP over 200 in ESPN and Yahoo! leagues?

A deeper look into his numbers show an ERA of 2.80, a FIP of 3.34 and an xFIP of 3.17 with a BABIP against of .265. An elevated K% (24.1% 2011; 20.1% career) is a positive sign but he also has an elevated BB% (6.9% 2011; 5.5% career) which hasn't hurt him much since he's allowing a career-low 7.1 H/9.

Check out this Plate Discipline chart from FanGraphs. Not much is different from prior years.

Question: What factors have lead to Shields becoming such a dominate starting pitcher in 2011?

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

Line of the Day: David Ortiz: August 8th, 2011

David Ortiz went 4-for-5 with a double, home run and go-ahead single with two outs in the ninth inning to lead the Boston Red Sox to an 8-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins. In 42 career games against the Twins, he's hitting .327 with 11 homers and 31 RBI. (video recap)

Line: 5 AB | 3 R | 4 H | 3 RBI; 2B | HR

My fantasy perspective: Ortiz has put up a standard 5x5 line of .295/62/22/74/1 and is on pace for a .295/88/31/105/1 season. Not bad for a player drafted, on average, 135th in ESPN leagues, 156th in Yahoo! leagues and 127th in CBS leagues. He's currently ranked 43rd overall according to ESPN's Player Rater tool.

At 35 years of age, it's amazing to see his K% drop to a career-low of 12.9%. To put that in perspective, his K% in 1997 was 37.3% and 48% in 1999 (small sample size). He's still striking out much lass than his 18.4% career rate.

Question: Do the Red Sox owe it to "Big Papi" to reward him with the two-year contract he's seeking after this season or do they simply let him walk away as a free agent?

Monday, August 8, 2011

Line of the Day: Jake Peavy: August 7th, 2011

Jake Peavy allowed just three hits, no walks and struck out six in eight scoreless innings to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. It was his longest outing since May 18th. (video recap)

Line: 8 IP | 3 H | 0 ER | 0 BB | 6 K; W | QS

My fantasy perspective: Owned in just 32% of ESPN and 39% of Yahoo! leagues, most fantasy owners have  given up on Peavy in 2011. He's only recorded a Quality Start in five of 13 starts and would be best used as a spot starter. Good luck catching lightning in a bottle. The odds aren't in your favor.

Question: Are Peavy's best years behind him or can he return to a Cy Young-caliber pitcher again?

Sunday, August 7, 2011

Line of the Day: Cole Hamels: August 6th, 2011

Cole Hamels allowed seven hits, one run and struck out five to earn his second complete game of the season in leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 2-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants. He had pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings before allowing a home run to Pablo Sandoval(video recap)

Line: 9 IP | 7 H | 1 ER | 0 BB | 5 K; W | QS | CG

My fantasy perspective: Hamels raised his record to 13-6 and lowered his ERA to 2.53 (with a 2.62 FIP and a 2.85 xFIP). His 0.96 WHIP is now fourth-best in the majors and leads the National League, too.

A deeper look into his numbers on FanGraphs show his K% of 23% is right in line with his career percentage of 23.1% but his BB% of 4.8% is well below his career percentage of 6.2%, leading to a career-best K/BB ratio of 4.84.

Statement of fact: Cole Hamels is having a better year, statistically speaking, than Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee.

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Line of the Day: Jered Weaver: August 5th, 2011

Jered Weaver pitched nine scoreless innings, giving up seven hits while striking out eight and walking just one, receiving a no-decision in the Los Angeles Angels' 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners in 10 innings. It was the second time this season he's pitched nine scoreless innings and received a no-decision. (video recap)

Line: 9 IP | 7 H | 0 ER | 1 BB | 8 K; QS | ND

My fantasy perspective: Weaver lowered his ERA to a major league-best 1.78 but has a FIP of 2.57 and a nearly-doubled xFIP of 3.54. I'm sorry but I just don't see ANY regression coming. Since losing four straight starts in May, he's gone 8-1 in 14 starts with a 1.35 ERA with an 85/24 K/BB ratio. Over that span, batters are hitting .198 with a .244 OBP and a .282 SLG against him.

In standard fantasy baseball leagues, Wins, ERA, WHIP and Strikeouts all what matter and Weaver is getting it done in each of those categories. He's tied for third in wins (14), first in ERA (1.78), third in WHIP (0.94) and tied for seventh-most strikeouts (150).

Weaver is currently the second-ranked fantasy starting pitcher, according to ESPN's Player Rater, behind only Justin Verlander and the sixth-ranked player overall.

Question: Weaver finished fifth in the 2010 AL Cy Young Award voting. Where does he finish in 2011?

Friday, August 5, 2011

Line of the Day: Cliff Lee: August 4th, 2011

Cliff Lee threw a seven-hit shutout, striking out eight and not allowing a walk, in a 3-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. It was his fifth complete game of the season and his major league-leading fifth shutout. (video recap)

Line: 9 IP | 7 H | 0 ER | 0 BB | 8 K; W | QS | CG | SHO

My fantasy perspective: According to FanGraphs' leaderboards, Lee is tied for the sixth-highest K% (Strikeouts/Total Batters Faced) in the majors at 25.3%. Of those six players, he has the lowest BB% at 4.8%. That rate ties him for the sixth-lowest BB% in the majors, too. So it should be no surprised that he has the third-best K/BB ratio in the majors at 5.22 behind Roy Halladay (7.95) and Dan Haren (5.67).

Speaking of Lee's strikeouts, he's on pace for 34 starts, 239 innings and 244 strikeouts. Those numbers would tie a career-high for regular season starts, set a new career-high for innings pitched (231.2 in 2009) and SHATTER his career-high for strikeouts (185 in 2010).

Question: Is the one-two-three punch of Halladay, Lee and Cole Hamels the best in baseball?

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Line of the Day: Casey McGehee: August 3rd, 2011

Casey McGehee homered three times off Edwin Jackson and drove in five runs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the second multi-homer game of his career and became the 11th player in franchise history to hit three home runs in a game. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 3 R | 3 H | 5 RBI; 3 HR

My fantasy perspective: McGehee was the ninth third baseman drafted off the board with an ADP of 90.7 in ESPN drafts coming off a .285/23/104 season in 2010. It's safe to say he's been a huge disappointment up until this point in the season. He currently ranks 32nd of all third base eligible players with his .240/34/8/48/0 5x5 fantasy line.

He was 7-for-14 in this series against the Cardinals and hitting .300 (24-for-80) with four home runs and 15 RBI over the last 30 days.

For a position which has been decimated by injuries and under-performing players, now might be the time to pick up McGehee if he's still sitting out there on waivers. His low ownership numbers (46% ESPN; 50% Yahoo!; 66% CBS) prove owners have given up and looked elsewhere. Here's hoping he puts up numbers over the last two months of the season fantasy owners hoped for on draft day.

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Line of the Day: Ricky Romero: August 2nd, 2011

Ricky Romero allowed one hit, a solo home run to Desmond Jennings in the sixth inning, over eight innings while striking out seven and walking four to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. It was Romero's 16th Quality Start in 22 attempts. (video recap)

Line: 8 IP | 1 H | 1 ER | 4 BB | 7 K; W | QS

My fantasy perspective: Romero continues to mature as a pitcher and his numbers are proving it. His ERA is down (2.98). His WHIP is down (1.20). His H/9 is down (7.3). His K/9 is up (7.9). And his K/BB is up (2.25). These are all positive signs of good things to come for the 26 year old left-hander.

Romero is currently the 20th-ranked fantasy baseball starting pitcher, ahead of guys like Michael Pineda (21st), David Price (22nd), Jon Lester (23rd) and Tim Hudson (24th). Quite the output for a player with an ADP of 194.3 in ESPN leagues.

Question: What's it going to take (short-term and/or long-term) for Blue Jays to supplant the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays as roadblocks to a divisional title or wild card berth?

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Line of the Day: Asdrubal Cabrera: August 1st, 2011

Asdrubal Cabrera went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI and led the Cleveland Indians to a 9-6 victory over the Boston Red Sox. It was the second multi-homer game of his career.  (video recap)

Line: 5 AB | 3 R | 3 H | 4 RBI; 2 HR

My fantasy perspective: Prior to the 2011 season, Cabrera had 18 career home runs in 1610 plate appearances (1 HR/89.4 PA). He has now has 19 home runs in 465 plate appearances this season (1 HR/24.5 PA). He leads the team in home runs, RBI (65) and batting average (.293).

His 6.0 BB%, 16.8 K% and .320 BABIP are all close enough to his career averages, as well as his LD%, GB% and FB%. Simply put, more fly balls are being hit for home runs than they were at any point prior to this season (14.8% HR/FB in 2011 compared to a previous career-high of 6.7% in 2008).

Question: Is this the kind of production we should expect from Cabrera going forward or is this season simply an anomaly ?

Monday, August 1, 2011

Line of the Day: Johnny Cueto: July 31st, 2011

Johnny Cueto allowed just three hits, no runs and struck out six in leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 9-0 win over the San Francisco Giants. It was the fourth complete game and second shutout of his career. (video recap)

Line: 9 IP | 3 H | 0 ER | 1 BB | 6 K; W | QS | CG | SHO

My fantasy perspective: Cueto missed the first month of the season with arm issues but finally has pitched enough innings to qualify for the major league lead in ERA at 1.72 but a FIP of 3.35 and an xFIP of 3.81 show there's room for a good bit of regression.

He's striking out less batters (15.5%) than in any other year in his career but inducing ground balls at a career-best mark of 53.4%. Is a 0.98 WHIP really sustainable for a guy with a career 1.29 WHIP? Plus, batters are hitting just .192 with a ,219 BABIP.

Question: Are we finally seeing Cueto mature into the front-of-the-rotation starter some expected or has he simply been the benefactor of good luck?

Saturday, July 30, 2011

Line of the Day: Nick Swisher: July 30th, 2011

Nick Swisher was a combined 6-for-10 with two home runs, five RBI, four runs and 13 total bases as the New York Yankees swept a doubleheader from the Baltimore Orioles. (video recap)

Line: 10 AB | 4 R | 6 H | 5 RBI; 2B | 2 HR

My fantasy perspective: Swisher is quietly on pace for a .270/20/90 season with an OBP near .380 and a wOBP over .360. Not bad for a player who has batting in seven spots in the Yankee lineup.

After hitting just .213 with three home runs and 20 RBI over his first 49 games played, Swisher has rebounded by hitting .326 with 11 home runs and 42 RBI over his last 50 games. Can someone explain to me how he's only owned in 75% of Yahoo! leagues?

Question: Swisher is a free agent come 2012. Will the Yankees bring him back or will he chase the dollars?

Line of the Day: Jeff Niemann: July 29th, 2011

Jeff Niemann of the Tampa Bay Rays allowed just three hits and struck out a career-high 11 in 6 2/3 innings in a 8-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners. (video recap)

Line: 6.2 IP | 3 H | 0 ER | 3 BB | 11 K; W | QS

My fantasy perspective: In 13 starts this season, Niemann is 5-4 with a 3.51 ERA, a 7.0 K/9 ratio and career-low 2.3 BB/9. Since returning from a DL stint in late-June, he is 4-0 with a 1.88 ERA. Over his last three starts he has a 0.87 ERA.

deeper look into his numbers show a FIP of 3.58 and an xFIP of 3.68, validating what you see is what you get. Plus his 18.2 K% and 6.0% have led to a career-best 3.05 K/BB ratio. Even a .291 BABIP and 73.4 LOB%  show he's putting up legit numbers. Not bad for a number four starter.

Question: Is Niemann trade bait or part of the long-term plans for the Rays' rotation?

Line of the Day: Desmond Jennings: July 28th, 2011

Desmond Jennings was 3-for-4 with four RBI and hit his first career home run to lead the Tampa Bay Rays to a 10-8 comeback victory over the Oakland Athletics. He also stole his fourth base in just six games. (video recap)

Line: 4 AB | 2 R | 3 H | 4 RBI; HR | SB | BB

My fantasy perspective: Jennings' 2011 arrival sure has been worth the wait. In just six games, he's batting .500 (11-for-22) with three doubles, a triple, a home run, seven RBI, five runs scored, four walks and four stolen bases. Phew! That's a lot of offense in a very short period of time. I'm pretty sure he has more total bases and runs created than Adam Dunn has in 90 games this season. Not really, but sure feels like it.

Question: Jennings is here to stay. What kind of numbers does he put up in 2012?
