Fantasy Baseball: BEASTS OF WEEK 9
Fantasy Baseball: BEASTS OF WEEK 9
By Muntradamus
BEAST DOME NATION,
This article is intended to help you be prepared for the week ahead.
1) Hottest Hitters. (Helps with lineup decisions)
Each week I will start off with all the hot hitters, based off of how I have seen the player play over this past week. If you look at the stats of each player, you will see the potential I see. This is good tool for that tough lineup dilemma, or a possible plug-in-play for your fantasy team.
2) Hottest Hitting Teams. (Helps with Pitching match-ups)
After I rank the hottest hitters by position, I then do the power-rankings of the hottest teams. You should use that tool to figure out which pitchers to use in this upcoming week.

Hello Muntradamus,
I took your advice early on getting rid of Kyle Lohse and Jeremy Hellickson for an elite quality player. I combined those two for CC Sabathia, and talked it up, in which allowed me to get the trade accepted. Sweet, hopefully my team is pretty solid now with Cliff Lee and Sabathia!

1B: Mark Trumbo
2B: Ian Kinsler
3B Brett Lawrie
SS Elvis Andrus
2B/SS Jimmy Rollins
1B/3B Joe Mauer
OF (x5): Michael Borun, Jose Bautista, Ichiro Suzuki, Jason Heyward, and Melky Cabrera
UTIL: Robinson Cano
Bench: Ryan Doumit (probably drop for Pedro Alvarez again)
DL: Pablo Sandoval
*Pitchers*
Craig Kimbrel
Cliff Lee
Jordan Walden
Josh Beckett
Ivan Nova
Rafael Soriano
