Hot Pickups
Everyone is picking these guys up...are they for real?
- Ryan Ludwick, OF. He's gotten to face tons of lefties, skewing his stats. He's earned PT against righties though. Even if the outfield picture is slightly muddied, Ludwick is a fine pickup with legit power. Don't expect him to hit .300 though.
- Aaron Cook, SP. Even with all the grounders and the nice ERA/WHIP, Cook is strictly a spot starter for me. Doesn't get Ks; will allow hits at a much higher rate going forward.
- Tim Redding, SP. A definite BABIP king but his K/BB is borderline tolerable. Worth spot starting; not a complete fluke.
- Jon Lester, SP. Very ugly K/BB...start him with caution.
- Stephen Drew, SS. He's slugging .513; the 15-20 HR power seems legit.

Thoughts on Iannetta? He's another hot pickup.

Re: Ludwick: last year he just crushed righties, 11 homers and 12 doubles in 181 AB's.

Ludwick has a ridiculous 40.9% line drive rate, according to The Hardball Times. I'd guess that will go down.

need opinions! i can play inge at catcher.... is he a top ten catcher for the rest of the year? any comparables?

Should I drop Lugo for Drew?

Inge isn't a top ten catcher if nothing else because he doesn't play every day. Besides, I think the top ten are (in any order) Martin, Martinez, Mauer, McCann, Posada, Soto, Molina, Doumit, Pudge, Snyder.
