Disabled Hitters To Watch
Some quality hitters are residing on mixed league waiver wires. They're there because they're currently on the disabled list. Let's see if we can find any gems.
- Rafael Furcal, SS. Furcal feels great after back surgery. He could be back in late August, giving you a full month of production at a scarce position.
- Frank Thomas, DH. He is expected to take batting practice this week and could return from his quad injury in early August.
- Hank Blalock, 3B. He could return Friday as the Rangers' starting first baseman after all kinds of maladies and setbacks.
- Gerald Laird, C. He should return from a hamstring injury by month's end. He was raking in June prior to the injury.
- Ryan Zimmerman, 3B. He could be back next week after rehabbing his shoulder.
- Three injured speedy guys: Dave Roberts, Julio Lugo, and Luis Castillo. All three are questionable enough where I would not do a pre-emptive pickup though.

Furcal... Keep wishing my friend.

How drunk do the Rangers have to be to play Blalock ahead of Chris Davis at first?

How about Ryan Church?

Agreed on Church...he wasn't on the waiver wires I checked though.

See, the Rangers are RotoAuthority readers, as they now say that Blalock will in fact play third base. Viva Chris Davis!
