Roto Baseball Guru

Starting last Sunday, the top performers will be posted on the Roto Fantasy Guru site to show which baseball players are on a hot streak and merit your attention. Last week’s focus was on Top Hitters, and brought up some nice surprises such as Evan Longoria coming in at number 2, and the young Boston Red Sox second baseman, Dustin Pedroia at number 4.

Some of the key consensual top picks such as Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees, Jose Reyes of the New York Mets, and Hanley Ramirez of the Florida Marlins were shut out from the list.  Though I have a feeling that won’t last for very long, there’s too much talent there for that to happen!

Last year’s NL MVP, Jimmy Rollins, has been on abit of a cold streak of late.  In the last 7 days, he’s batting a measly 0.120 with 0 HRs, 0 runs, and only 2 RBIs.  Very un-MVP like and the Phillies are suffering because of that.  However, given Rollins history, it’s not something to worry too much about as I’m sure he’ll back back to his old self of hitting HRs, driving in RBIs, hitting for average and stealing bases in short order.

On the pitching side, Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks is showing his age.  He hasn’t won a game since mid-May and has been on the wrong side of a 5 game losing streak.  He’s carrying an ERA over 6 during that time and has given up 4 HRs.  One thing that he’s still consistent with is strikeouts, but you can get strikeouts from other pitchers that won’t kill your ERA and get you some wins.  I think Johnson is at the end of the line … on the fantasy side, you would want to trade him away to someone who may still hold some sentimental connection to the future hall of famer!

An early season disappointment, last year’s American League Cy Young winner C.C. Sabathia was been slowly but surely turning his game around.  His ERA in April was horrendously over 7, and as of today, it has improved to a respectable 4.26.  Although his wins total is still down, he is still striking out batters at a blazing pace.  He also picked up a win today against future hall of famer Greg Maddux.

The recommendation, pick up Sabathia now while his stock his still low, and you won’t be disappointed!
