By Muntradamus
To see yesterday’s Daily Pitcher Rankings follow the link.

 

BEAST DOME NATION.

I have added more content to the DRAFTSTREET section of this article.  Enjoy.

 

Melky Cabrera: Is done.  No he did not head butt his wife, but he was taking performing enhancement drugs.  I knew something was too good to be true with him this season moving to that huge ball park.

King Felix: Was ranked as an Elite pitcher yesterday, and he showed us why with the perfect game.  Rarely do I put anyone in the ELITE category, and King Felix showed us why.

Huston Street: Is going to be out a lot longer than we thought, Dale Thayer is MUST-OWN in all leagues.

Yadier Molina: Will miss a couple of games to rest his back.

Neil Walker: May hit the DL with a dislocated pinkie.

Jemile Weeks: Will possibly lose his job to get Brandon Hicks and Adam Rosales more playing time, that’s when you know it’s bad.

Josh Hamilton: Is the hottest power hitter in baseball, give him two more solo shots Wednesday.

Jaime Garcia: Returns to the Cardinals rotation Sunday to most likely mean the end for Joe Kelly.

David Ortiz: Not doing nay better.  What appeared to be a nothing injury when it occurred, could be season ending.

Emilio Bonifacio: Started his rehab.

Michael Cuddyer: Started his rehab earlier this week.

Tommy Hanson: Started his rehab on Sunday.

Eric Young Jr: Hottest hitter in baseball, more on him later this week.

Pablo Sandoval & Andrew Bailey: Are back.  Bailey set-up man until he proves he is ELITE again.

 

Ask me any fantasy questions about players.
