| Kosuke Fukudome's Hot Start »

The Giants and Twins are still the worst-hitting teams in each league, in my opinion. The Nationals and Padres are giving the Giants a run for their money though. Anyway here are some spot starters to consider this week.
Wednesday
- Chad Gaudin vs. Twins. His peripherals aren't too bad so far; I'd consider it.
- Greg Maddux vs. Giants. He was bombed last time out but I'd still try it.
Thursday
- Greg Smith vs. Twins. Not too jazzed with his numbers; this one's a bit risky.
Friday
- Ryan Dempster vs. Nationals. Definitely a low BABIP fluke but I'd still probably start him.
- Randy Johnson vs. Padres. I think he'll be pretty good once he shakes off the rust.
Saturday
- Micah Owings vs. Padres. You'd have to be in a pretty shallow league for Owings to be available.
- Matt Belisle vs. Giants. Hmmm, you'd have to be fairly desperate.
Sunday
- Ted Lilly vs. Nationals. First see how he looks against the Mets today.
- Vicente Padilla vs. Twins. A worthy spot-start.
- Edinson Volquez vs. Giants. I'd definitely do it.
