C: Buster Posey – Posey is batting just shy of .300 on the year with 6 homeruns and 29 RBI.  He is 7 for his last 21, and is only valued at 6.5K.
1b: Eric Hosmer – Hosmer has been swinging a hot stick (.333 with 2 homeruns in the last two weeks) to raise his season average to .214.  Last night he was 2 for 3 with a homerun.
2b: Elian Herrera – Batting .327 in the last two weeks, Herrera has been filling in nicely for the Dodgers.

3b: Michael Young – One of the purest hitters in the game, Young is 7 for his last 17, and is batting .288 on the year for a value of only 6K.
SS: Willie Bloomquist – Willie is 7 for his last 14 in his last 3 games, and should be playing tonight as McDonald got the start yesterday and went 0 for 4.  At a value of 4.6K, he is a must play.

OF: Josh Reddick – Feldman is on the mound today for the Rangers, and he 0-2 in his last two starts with a 7.59 ERA.  Reddick is having some kind of a year (batting .271 with an astounding 14 homeruns).
OF: Melky Cabrera – The “Melk Man” has come out of nowhere, and has put himself in position to possibly win the NL MVP…he is batting .371 with 40 runs scored, 27 RBIs, 4 homeruns, and 4 stolen bases.

OF: Jeff Francoeur – Valued at 6.8K, Francoeur is a steal because he is hot right now…batting over .400 with 4 homeruns over the last 2 weeks.
U: Trevor Plouffe – Plouffe has drawn a start the last two games, and went 5 for 9 with a homerun.  The right handed hitter faces a lefty today in Will Smith from Kansas City.

U: Paul Goldschmidt – After a very slow start to the 2012 season, Goldschmidt has finally found his stroke.  He has 4 homeruns with an almost .400 batting average over the last two weeks to raise his season average to .277.
SP: Cole De Vries – After drawing two starts so far this year, De Vries has gone 5 innings in both games giving up only 3 runs in those 10 innings, and only giving up 8 hits.  Today he faces the Royals who are 25th in the league in runs scored.

SP: Joe Saunders – Has been a very streaky pitcher this year, but Saunders has a 3.61 ERA in 2012, and he is valued under 10K.
SP: Ryan Vogelsong – Vogelsong is 3-0 in his last 5 starts while going at least 7 innings in 4 of his last 5 starts.  Over that span, he has only given up 6 runs while striking out 21.  Today he faces the Padres who are 28th in runs scored.

RP: J.J. Putz – With 12 saves on the year, we believe Saunders takes care of the Rockies today and turns the ball over to Putz to record his 13 save of the year.
