 This time of year we all struggle to maintain a full fantasy roster due to the fact that players become tired or pitchers are put on innings limits. Here are some late call-ups that could help keep your team in the running for a fantasy title this season.

 You may as well hold on to Phil Hughes because he just got ridof his innings limit (if he ever had one to begin with) because without him,the Yankees rotation is less than adequate down the stretch.
Hughes pitched a total of 105 innings last season. TheVerducci Effect is known to kick in for pitchers who increase their innings pitchedby more than 30 in one season. I doubt the Verducci Effect is a ...

 Jacoby cannot be relied upon in 2010.
I was thinking about the fact that if the Red Sox knew then what they do know now, we would own Chone Figgins.
I realize he plays Third Base, and we need Beltre to hit some homers. He can also play First Base though, where he would be just as effective as any other option the Sox have. He could play at second with Pedroia at SS and Scutaro on the b...

We all know how hard it is for great athletes to actually throw in the towel, but for now we tip our baseball caps andapplaud a future hall-of-fame player.
Not to mention what he offered the Braves, th...

 Strasburg should not be sold bottom line.
Not in dynasty leagues, keeper leagues,
redraft leagues OR yearly leagues.
Ten reasons why:
1. BB/K ratio =15/75
2. Max IP 160 vs. IP 95
3. Strasburg DVD night
(first 15,000 fans get gear) $$$$$
4. Whip 1.13

6. 84 pitches in 4 innings,
Average velocity 98mph
7. 75k in 54.3 major league innings
8. No Injury concerns
9. 65 IP = 6 more starts

Earlier in the season I wrote about Papelbon and his struggles. I looked into his stats as deep as I needed to go in order to explain what I was seeing. When a guy has an ERA of 1.85 and 38 saves on a season,he is elite, right?
Nope
After allowing his fourth blown save on the season, (three inthe last eight attempts), I figure it is a good time for,...
