Today's featured shit

Mike Jacobs is like the stockmarket. Millions have been won and lost trying to time it. I just released him, and now I am thinking about adding him again.
Garret Anderson is back, and he is hitting cleanup. It’s very hard to leave any cleanup hitter on the waiver wire, even if it is Anderson.

John Lannan has deceptive stats because he got lit up in April. He’s worth adding if you need a starting pitcher.
I just found Rickie Weeks dangling on the waiver wire in one of my leagues. What a find! I was proud to be on the Marco Scutaro bandwagon, but if I can have Weeks instead, well, it’s been nice knowin’ ya, Marco.
Aaron Harang is one of those guys that churn fantasy players use. You know the kind; there is no innings cap, so they add pitchers that are pitching that day, winning wins and strikeouts in the process. If you’re willing to use your waiver claim on a guy like him, you’ll be rewarded. People never use their claim often enough. Unless you’re in a 16-team league or an AL- or NL-only league, you should use your waiver claim as often as possible. There’s just too many good players out there to worry about missing out a star to someone with a higher claim.
Jonathan Sanchez is still worth it, even after his six walks yesterday. He is a strikeout pitcher and will have days like that. Especially if you’re doing well with wins but poorly with strikeouts, he’s worth an add.
Joe Thurston has multiple position eligibility and is seeing a lot of action. He can hit, and he can walk, too. The walk doesn’t do much in most fantasy leagues, but what it does do is guarantee playing time. This is why Justin Upton and Chone Figgins still have jobs, although I will admit to dropping both of them (and in a league that counts walks no less–don’t keep a player just for the walks).
John Maine is starting to figure it out. If you need a starting pitcher, he’s worth a shot. Same with Edwin Jackson. Somehow he’s got a great WHIP and ERA. His line from last night looks bad, but really it is because he ran out of gas in the seventh inning.

Todd Helton is still someone to think about, even if he doesn’t have power anymore.
Michael Bourn was never able to get on base, but it seems so far that he has figured it out. If you need stolen bases, he’s worth considering.
I was one of many who drafted and then released Ramon Hernandez after his awful start. Well, his batting average is back up to .261, and maybe he’ll stick after all. He does play half his games in a hitters park.
Another guy I dropped early on was Johnny Cueto. I’m willing to admit a mistake, and the nice thing was that no one else picked him up. Check whether he is available in your league.
Don’t look now, but Scott Richmond is 4-0 with a 2.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.
