" Ready for army of course is my car and welcome to the baseball fantasy fix them by NAPA Auto Parts Napa. The good stuff Michael Cox does and does we'll start in the Big Apple work. -- We're going to hot thank you put up big bronze but we got coming into the year you didn't know what you're gonna get with a knee injury. Power swing has returned over last 96 home runs eighteen RBI over twenty home runs on the year now. Adding 350 so giving you solid contact as well one of the things with -- historically. Big strikeout gap what you're getting RBI production you expected as some of those doubles turnaround in the home runs a batting alongside. Teixeira Robert Rodriguez and and Derek Jeter and make its case for an MVP big here. Mean you've got to potent lineup score a lot of runs and Matsui guy if an owner jettisoned to the wire early they gave up. Now the climbing back -- more. I was gonna say the Yankees are struggling a bit with the fact that you can. The giving some other -- saw a couple other guys got to look at Michael Young former batting champion has been role on of late last thirteen games and fourth when he sat. Three on rod fourteen RBI get a guy not expecting huge power numbers from but if you're going to get the run the RBI. And the batting average nice solid middle infielder for you there the other guy just -- and it he's got one of the great statistical anomaly in baseball history. Carlos Pena who has more home runs and singles -- entering Thursday's -- 37 home runs -- 35 single off on the here over his last seven -- six home runs fourteen RBI batting fourth when he -- big thing with him -- he strikes out -- during this period. Out of strikeouts he's also drawn seven lost. You know in the heart of that lineup -- big -- Pena just watching him swing everything's the upper cut. Either big flyer big fly out. Now a lot of things it's going as planned out like -- much like you -- I was going to reminds me in my little yeah. For studs so that's why -- lefty mark early has really done much of that for now that's it's a perfect game it's been rough last six starts with an 04 record. -- big strikeout guy so to put the ball in play. Potential for a lot of disastrous things happen and that's what you -- 61 ERA during this stretch only twelve strike it's just not. I'll put up the numbers lot of balls in play and defensively the White Sox generally aren't going to help you why I would assume after you throw perfectly there's going to be a letdown factor shall not quite as severe as you've seen and he's -- to -- it out it's going to be gaining. But for fantasy purposes that's not helping you know -- what does a lot of guys BJ Upton you know one of our top picks from the fantasy perspective. He's a guy over his last seventeen games and absolutely useless -- under 20190. That'd be exactly two home runs four RBI and could not get -- patient can't steal bases. That's would you draft of little bit of pop and hoping that he be flying around the bases lies not happening out. He's hurt and all the guys Brandon Inge would be -- to step up he's had a great year overall but of late last seventeen games for him 131. Oh over the strikeouts just put the ball in play at least give the guys an opportunity. To make something happen to a -- six RBI during the stretch not get it done fantasy owners still still wolf in the overall power but not really given much of once again lately obvious that you don't -- a dialed in and -- playoff time we got to get people into. The winners of as you would like to -- yes always want to give him that and of course that's going to -- for the visiting -- you fix that -- by NAPA Auto Parts that. That's police while ago my comment I have a -- expletive. Yeah fantasy football. It's about him."
