Fantasy Baseball Strategy Guide and News for 19 May 2009 (Issue 47)

Colby Rasmus is getting enough plate appearances to start. Even if you aren’t in a keeper league, he is worth considering.
Don’t give up on Kyle Lohse just yet.
Mat Gamel will play during interleague play as a DH and will then be sent down. If you need power, he’s worth a shot.
Nick Johnson could always hit for average, but he kept getting hurt. He’s finally staying healthy, and he’s reminding everyone that a .330 average is to be expected.
So who are you replacing Rickie Weeks with? I was offered Robinson Cano for Yovani Gallardo, but I turned that down. Why wouldn’t I, when I can add Akinori Iwamura for free? The problem with shallow fantasy leagues (eight or 10 teams) is that there is always someone on the waiver wire. As for Weeks’ replacement, it’s Craig Counsell.
