\n<\/strong>Welcome back to our weekly fantasy baseball article on http:\/\/jetnation.com<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 All statistics are taken from the last 2 weeks of play.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are my favorite pickups for the week;<\/p>\n

Jose Guillen<\/strong> 2-12 .365 – He is a known streak hitter and when healthy he has produced big power number in both leagues.
\nTroy Tutowlski<\/strong> 2-11 .339 – The SS for Colorado is finally living up to the preseason hype and should be grabbed in all leagues.
\nRyan Doumit<\/strong> 2-5 .472 – He could be eligible in your league at catcher and with Ronnie Paulino struggling as well as the Xavier Nady injury he is playing almost every day.
\nBenji Molina<\/strong> 2-10 .360 – He is quietly putting up solid numbers for a catcher and would be a great replacement for the Piazza owners out there.
\nAlex Gonzales<\/strong> 5-11 .270 – He looks like he is back to being a 20 home run shortstop and in Cincinnati that is a great bet.
\nMatt Belisle<\/strong> 1-1 17K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 2.45 – The 5th starter has pitched well all year and looks to be a solid bet for 12 plus wins.
\nChad Gaudin<\/strong> 1-1 14K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 3.17 – Billy Beane would not trade him and now everyone is seeing why.\u00c2\u00a0 He has been very consistent and in that park should remain that way.
\nClaudio Vargas<\/strong> 2-0 13K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s .052 – He has shown flashed before but pitching for the National League\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s best team has restarted his career.
\nRafael Soriano<\/strong> 4 saves 0.00 – He is the better bet for saves in the Atlanta Braves bullpen.\u00c2\u00a0 How did the Mariners let him go for Horacio Ramirez?
\nFred Lewis<\/strong> 4 Hrs and 7 SB\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in AAA – He should be playing everyday for the injured Dave Roberts.
\nRoger Clemens<\/strong> – Not sure if you heard that this future Hall of Famer will be pitching in Yankee stadium by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Hot<\/strong>
\nAdam Dunn<\/strong> 7-15 .312 – I do not know of a league that count strikeouts, so you are safe.
\nPrince Fielder<\/strong> 5-15 .333 – He is not the size of his Dad as of yet but is getting there.
\nJJ Hardy<\/strong> 3-13 .415 – He has to slow down.\u00c2\u00a0 The Brewers have to slow down.\u00c2\u00a0 Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t they?
\nMark Texiera<\/strong> 4-12 .384 – This is why some of us drafted him early.\u00c2\u00a0 About time.
\nShane Victorino 8 Sb\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s .300 – He maybe the best OF in Philly right now.
\nDan Haren<\/strong> 23 K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 2.65 – Now we know why Omar Minaya was trying to get this guy.
\nJamie Shields<\/strong> 2-0 21K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1.48 – He is a TB pitcher but a very good one.
\nJohn Smoltz<\/strong> 3-0 21 K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1.71 – Leading the way for best pitchers over 40.
\nBrad Penny<\/strong> 2-0 18K\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 0.00 – Trade him before he gets hurt or goes into the tank as usual.<\/p>\n

Who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Not<\/strong>
\nVernon Wells<\/strong> 0-1 .200 – Hope he is enjoying that huge deal.
\nDan Uggla<\/strong> .183 – Sophomore slump strikes again.
\nRobinson Cano<\/strong> 0-7 .152 – I guess Yankee fans will have to wait to induct him into the HOF.
\nA.J. Burnett<\/strong> 0-2 7.10 – Do the Blue Jay do anything right?
\nArmando Benitez<\/strong> 0-1 6.75 – The Giants deserve whatever they get having him as the closer.
\nDontrelle Willis<\/strong> 0-1 5.60 – Those Mets rumors have seemed to die down.<\/p>\n

On the injury front; BJ Ryan<\/strong> is out for the year but who knows who the closer is since they cannot win a game.\u00c2\u00a0 Roy Halladay<\/strong> is out for 4-6 weeks as well for the Blue Jays.\u00c2\u00a0 Dave Roberts<\/strong> is also out for 4-6 weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 Henry Owens<\/strong> is on the DL so it could be back to Jorge Julio<\/strong> time.<\/p>\n
