Alfonso Soriano, of the Chicago Cubs, looks like he may be starting one of those famous hot streaks in which he can do no wrong. Soriano went two for four with two doubles on Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Chien-Ming Wang and Josh Beckett will square off in possibly the biggest match-up between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the 2007 regular season. Beckett has the more Cy Young like statistics of the two Aces with

Apparently, it is a fact that Rick Ankiel, of the St. Louis Cardinals, received enough Human Growth Hormone in 2004 to last a whole year of continuous use. It is also fact that Ankiel made the extremely rare transition from

Adam LaRoche, of the Pittsburgh Pirates, capitalized on the extra at bats he received in a 15-inning win against the Houston Astros on Friday night. LaRoche went three for seven with a run scored and four runs batted in. LaRoche

Wandy Rodriguez, of the Houston Astros, has had an up and down season to this point in 2007. Rodriguez's ups have been highlighted by some dominant performances at home and his lows have featured poor performances on the road. In

Justin Morneau, of the Minnesota Twins, has gone one for 12 since the trade deadline frustrations were expressed by Johan Santana and himself. It may be coincidence, or it could be the result of a veteran team unexpectedly finding out

Dontrelle Willis, of the Florida Marlins, is a first half pitcher and that is no secret. Over his career Willis is 42-24 in the first half and 23-25 in the second half so it should come as no surprise that

Eric Bedard, of the Baltimore Orioles, has been on his game in July and as a matter of fact most of the season. Bedard was awesome on Friday night against the Oakland Athletics, twirling seven innings of one hit shutout

The Mark Buehrle show will be front and center in the eyes scouts and general mangers today in Tampa Bay. Buehrle has pitched well enough to win his last three starts and probably four of his last five starts but

Roger Clemens of the New York Yankees apparently has the best gig in the history of Major League baseball. After his last start Joe Torre said all he asks of Clemens is that he gives them a chance to win

Derrek Lee of the Chicago Cubs may be the most confusing fantasy case so far this season. Lee went four for four on Friday against the San Diego Padres but at the same time he had zero runs and

Joe Nathan of the Minnesota Twins nailed down his 12th save of the 2007 season on Friday. Nathan is 12 of 13 with a 2-1 record. Nathan is on pace to save just about as many as he did in

Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres is bringing the filthy stuff almost every outing and that is what I have been waiting to see out of this guy. Peavy has looked like a CY Young candidate and he has

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees is having an unbelievable start to the 2007 season and everybody knows that, but I want to try to give you a little different perspective on his fantasy value. A-Rod had another big

Felix Pie of the Chicago Cubs appears to have earned his spot on the Major League team. It appears Lou Piniella has no plans of moving Jacque Jones to center when Angel Guzman is recalled on May 1st. The Cubs

There are not many things that are for sure in the game of baseball, but Dontrelle Willis winning in the month of April is becoming pretty close. Over the course of his career Willis is 12-1 in April. Almost the

One of the biggest knocks on Matt Murton of the Chicago Cubs in 2006 was that he wasn't showing enough power potential. As a result the Cubs acquired Cliff Floyd in the off-season to play left field (when he isn't

Rich Hill of the Chicago Cubs is coming along nicely in Spring Training. Hill is a guy who can be a high risk high reward player this year. He is high risk because he is a sophomore and because he

Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies had his contract renewed for the grand total of $900,000. This may seem like the deal of a lifetime for the Phillies and a huge rip off for Howard, the 2006 National League Most
