The News Jon Rauch pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Orioles. Our View Rauch is in the running for the closer's role that has been abruptly vacated by the injured Joe Nathan. The tallest man in baseball has a decent shot to take over the position, as he's closed in the past, but will have to battle setup man Matt Guerrier and also hope that the Twins don't explore an option through trade or free agency. We'll monitor the situation as it plays out through the spring season. Read More

The News JaVale McGee just missed a double-double in Thursday's loss to the Hawks, collecting 20 points an nine boards. Our View McGee set a new season high with the 20-point affair and has now scored at least 13 points and seven rebounds in all but one game this month.

The News Jaroslav Halak wasn't at his best on Thursday, but managed to hold off the Oilers in shootouts for a 5-4 Montreal win. Our View Halak faced just 25 shots in regulation and allowed four to find the back of the net. Despite this oddly poor performance, he has won four straight and should continue to be a nice force between the pipes for fantasy owners. Read More

The News Andrei Markov was good for a pair of assists and a plus-three rating in Thursday's 5-4 shootout win over the Oilers. Our View Markov is one of the game's smoothest offensive defensemen, and he would be held in much higher regard if he didn't lose half his season to a freak preseason injury. He now has 25 points in just 32 games this season and is currently enjoying a five-game point streak. Read More
