Nelson Cruz had a monster week. He capped it off with a two home run day on Sunday. Adam Jones also had a great week and finished it off with four hits and a homer. Alex Rodriguez also had a big week including a two home run game on Friday. A-Rod has become a must own fantasy baseball player. Last week he was a must start. Shane Greene is also a player who has become a must own player. Greene had another great start. Greene has made three starts pitching at least seven in all three. He has given up just one run. Stephen Strasburg bounced back with a great start last week. Kris Bryant was called up and had a hit and three walks in his second game. Jacob deGrom had another great start and if you are weary of second year pitches that's fine but trust in deGrom.

Don't Panic - Jose Quintana got destroyed yesterday against the Tigers. It was his second poor start of the season. However his middle start was excellent. His last two years he has had era's under 4 and I
would give him more time.
Encouraging Sign - Masahiro Tanaka dominated the Rays on Saturday in Tampa Bay. He pitched 7 innings striking out 8 and giving up just two hits. He didn't allow a run. Prince Fielder has no home runs but is batting 385. Fielder has looked good in the early going. His average will come down but I expect the power to jump. After missing a lot of time last year Joey Votto has four homers and is hitting over 300.
Bad Start ? - Chris Carter is batting under 100. He has looked absolutely terrible. Carter is a droppable player. There are probably better options there now. Carter may get hot but you can't wait around until then. After an absolute horrible fist start Mat Latos has been better but not good. He is droppable in shallow leagues but I personally am going to give him at least one more start.
Player of the Week - Nelson Cruz bashed six homers in week two.
