RotoTime's Ryan Taylor goes over who is producing and helping owners and who isn't right now . If you have the hot guys, play 'em or try to find them before their owners realize their value. If you have the cold guys, think about benching them until they come around.
Garrett Olson has been a clutch spot starter for the Orioles so far this season. Though he will rarely top 90 on the radar gun, Olson has struck out 13 in his 13 innings of starting with an ERA of 2.08 . He may be a good weekend pickup since the O's are playing Kansas City, who is last in the majors in runs scored.
Take a guess on who's leading the league in ERA. Come on, just one guess. Did you say the A's? And the Ray's are fourth in relief ERA and the Marlins are right behind them. Giants, dead last in runs scored, have stolen the most bases. Surprised? You aren't the only one. Here's a couple of odd balls you worth looking at.
The world must be ending. Yankees traditionally get a lot of hype and media attention. Clemens and A-Rod have both been in the news a lot lately. Melky Cabrera, however, is flying under the radar. As a 23-year-old outfielder, that isn't all that surprising, especially with decent but nothing to brag about seasons. This year though, he's angling for fifteen homeruns and thirty stolen bases. Growing up is such a great thing.
