Today's featured shit

Carlos Gonzalez can hit a little bit. It remains to be seen whether he is a flash in the pan, but you might as well enjoy him while you can.
David Ortiz has been pretty unlucky this year, and in some leagues his original owners have lost faith in him. As he has shown this week, it may be time to give him another chance. With interleague play coming up this weekend, he may have to pinch hit, but my hunch is that Mike Lowell will sit on Sunday, so that’s one start right there. In addition Kevin Youkilis has been hurt recently, so he should get two out of three starts.
To a lesser degree, the same is true about James Shields. He may be 5-5, but he is much better than that. He could win 15 this season. I just picked him up in a league. Is he available in yours?
Yunel Escobar has been consistent this year and can give you help at shortstop, a place many of us need help at.
Dave Bush continues to be maligned, now physically after that line drive that got him in the knee, but he has a 1.22 WHIP and is better than people think. He could surprise his next time out.
