Andy Pettitte is worth adding.
Did you forget to draft a first baseman like I did? Need something better than Casey Kotchman? Chris Duncan figured out how to hit lefties and is playing all over the place. Tony La Russa is giving him a shot, and so should you.
Similar to Dr. Dre, some people have forgotten about J.D. Drew. His average isn’t there yet, but the power is. Pick him up if you need an outfielder, and ride him till he gets hurt again. There might be a $14 million home run in it for you.
When the season began, I was skeptical of the A’s rotation. Why anyone would doubt Billy Beane is beyond me, but there I was. Brett Anderson? If he can’t be scared of the Red Sox, then who can he be scared of? This is why you shouldn’t draft starting pitching. You can always find guys like this.
Seth Smith has ugly numbers, but he is getting on base. That will keep him in the lineup while he figures out which end of the bat to hold. If you don’t have room for him, don’t add him, but keep an eye out and see how he’s hitting.
If you’re not in a league that punishes strikeouts (most aren’t), Mike Jacobs is quietly having a good year. Even when he gets a day off, he comes in and hits a PH home run.
Placido Polanco is still available in many leagues, and he can be a catalyst for many teams. If you have a lot of power guys, someone like Polanco can help your batting average. Really, he should be a required handcuff if you draft Ryan Howard.
