Ice Cold
Saturday, June 28th, 2008Last 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!
