Power for Speed, Rebuilding a post All Star Break team.

The All Star represents more than just watching MLB's elite duking it out or home field advantage. It marks the end of many streaks and the beginning of many slumps, or vice versa.

I decided to shift my strategy, stemming from managing my roto league and seeing a 4 point drop in my HR rankings, I realized I have 3 power batters are either hurt, slumping or just plain streaky. (Torii Hunter,David Wright and Jermaine Dye) Of course I don't plan to just "ride it out". I'm rummaging through the free agency and found that it's littered with Speed Demons. I'm gonna own R, S, and I always choose players with a 300+ BA, but sometimes, with guys like Dexter Fowler, the numbers are so good a sub 300 is balances off as long as I have a guy like Miguel Montero batting 563 in the last week.

Speed Demons to Pick Up ASAP.

Andrew McCutchen

Nyjer Morgan

Dexter Fowler

Emilio Bonifacio

SP - Spot Start Pick Up for Thursday 7/23/2009

Jarrod Washburn is just on fire.

Marc Rzepczynski versus CLE.

Soriano is Back!!! maybe.

But his numbers looks really good, hitting safely in 11 out of the last 12 games. And increasing his batting average by 20 points. It's finally safe to play him, and he can tear it up real fast.

Speed Demon Rotator Alert

Dexter Fowler

The last 14 Games, 9 Steals

Need I say more?

SP - Spot Start Rotator for Sunday 7/12/2009

Pretty Hot

Doug Davis, has pitched excellent this year, but has one of the worst run support in the league. But recently the Diamondbacks are hitting very well. He had a solid W in San Diego, and it looks like another solid W this time around.

SP - Spot Start Rotator for Saturday 7/11/2009

Mike Hampton (ATL), pitching against the worst team in the MLB (WAS). It should be an easy W.

SP - Spot Start Rotator for Friday 7/10/2009

A pretty shallow number quality choices for Friday.

Warm - Brian Bannister, his numbers are decent, but the BOS line up is very potent.

Dan Meyer - Florida's closer situation is still in the air, if for some reason he's available, like in my leagues, and you have an SP slot to fill, there is a chance you can pick up a rogue save.
