Soriano goes 3-for-3, homers

The News Alfonso Soriano went 3-for-3 and hit a two-run homer to plate the only two runs of the game in a win over the Rockies. Our View The homer was Soriano's second of the spring, and the RBIs were just his fourth and fifth. He's hitting .278 and while many predicted a return to form for him this season, his preseason stats emphasize the contrary. He'll still be a fantasy asset, but don't expect the production that made him a big name from 2002-06. Read More

Borbon goes 3-for-3, homers

The News Julio Borbon went 3-for-3 in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Reds and hit his first homer of the spring. Our View The Rangers projected leadoff man and starting center fielder is having a solid spring. His average improved to .310 and he's now scored 18 runs and driven in eight. He's a solid sleeper this season and can be had very cheap in drafts. Runs and steals will be his strong points, but he has the ability to contribute in plenty of other fantasy categories as well.

Choo goes 2-for-3, homers

The News Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and cracked his third homer of the spring on Thursday. Our View Choo is hitting a blistering .396 this spring and has plated 16 of his teammates. The rising fantasy star should get plenty of RBI opportunities this season hitting in the number-three spot in the Indian's lineup and is a solid second outfielder in mixed leagues. A rock-solid spring only helps his chances of having a bigger breakout in 2010. Read More

Davis goes 4-for-4, homers

The News Chris Davis unloaded on Aaron Cook and the Rockies on Thursday, going 4-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in a wild 16-5 win. Our View Davis is a big time sleeper this season despite his struggles in 2009. After a demotion to Triple-A he reworked his stance and rebounded to finish out the season with a .308-6-26 line in 133 at-bats. In a hitter friendly ballpark and batting in the middle of a stacked lineup, he's a great candidate for a breakout year and potential 30-homer campaign. Read More

Longoria goes 3-for-3, homers

The News Evan Longoria went 3-for-3 and popped his 33rd homer of the season in a 10-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. Our View Longoria lived up to the hype in his first full season and ended the year with a .281 average, 33 homers and 113 RBI. He stumbled in June and July, but finished strong to become one of the most productive third basemen in the game. Read More

Uribe goes 3-for-4, homers

The News The red hot Juan Uribe churned out another fine performance on Saturday. The shortstop went 3-for-4 with a homer and the only two Giant RBI in a 6-2 loss to the Cubs. Our View Uribe now has seven homers and 20 RBI this month, and his explosive September has turned him into a fantasy darling down the stretch. Read More

Ryal goes 3-for-3, homers

The News Rusty Ryal was a double shy of the cycle on Tuesday night. He went 3-for-3 with three runs scored in Arizona's 10-8 win over the Giants. Our View Ryal is an infielder who's been getting sporadic playing time over the last two months and has failed to impress from a fantasy standpoint. He lacks pop (just three homers) and speed (zero stolen bases) and was hitting just .250 before Tuesday's game. Read More

Rasmus goes 3-for-4, homers

The News Colby Rasmus had a big night in the Cardinals 11-2 blowout of the Astros on Tuesday. The rookie center fielder went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and hit his 16th homer of the season. Our View Rasmus is having a solid rookie campaign and has done well adjusting to Tony LaRussa's sporadic outfield rotation. Tuesday's effort was his fifth multi-hit game this month. Read More

Slumping Ichiro snaps funk, homers

Ichiro Suzuki showed Saturday night the pressure of chasing another milestone might not be bothering him much after all. Suzuki had two hits to move within two of a record ninth-straight 200-hit season, and the Mariners beat the Rangers 8-3 in a game called by rain with three outs remaining. The Japanese star, who set the single-season hit mark with 262 in 2004, was mired in a 1-for-17 slump since getting his 2,000th career hit last Sunday. Suzuki broke out of the funk by doubling in the first and homering in the third before going hitless in his last three at-bats. He shares the record with Willie Keeler, who had eight consecutive 200-hit seasons from 1984-1901. "Ichiro was unbelievable," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said. "We talked about him feeling anxiety, but he didn't look like it tonight." Read More

Hanley goes 3-for-4, homers

The News Hanley Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI in the Marlins 5-3 win over the Braves on Friday. Our View Ramirez is cruising right now. He's hitting well over .400 for the month and currently leads the league in hitting with his .360 average. Friday's homer was his 19th and he's plated 85 teammates this season. Read More
