Lineup Literacy: Week 10
Written by The GNUru   
Jun 03, 2007 at 10:34 AM

Magglio Ordonez continues his hot hitting... The first 9 weeks of the 2007 Fantasy Baseball season are just about in the bags and that means that now it’s time to turn your attention to week 10.  Lucky for you the GNUru is here to help you with your week 10 lineup decisions.

Week 10 - GNUru Batter Banter

With 9 full weeks in the books, it’s really time to reconsider some of your veteran players off to slow starts.  While the GNUru doesn’t recommend dropping sluggish sluggers, you may want to consider getting some of these hot hitters in your fantasy lineups.  While some on the list are no-brainers (Manny Ramirez, Ichiro Suzuki, Grady Sizemore, etc.) others are still scratching their way into fantasy lineups (Kevin Youkilis, Michael Cuddyer, Jhonny Peralta, Mark Reynolds, etc.) and warrant lineup consideration.

Also of interest are the teams that play a full schedule of games and those that play a light schedule.  The following teams play seven games this week: Baltimore, Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Colorado, Detroit, Florida, L.A. Angels, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Seattle, St. Louis, Texas and Toronto.

Week 10 - GNUru Rotation Ramblings

Finally, we start to see some pitchers settle down and most games being played.  Now is the time you can begin to make assumptions on players, ride the hot hands, and play the double-start game.  Here is a list of the scheduled double start pitchers.  As always, be warned some pitchers could lose that advantage in a heartbeat via a rainout.  So make sure you chose your pitchers wisely!

In weekly head-to-head (H2H) leagues, it’s often the better strategy to avoid weak double starters and go with pitcher with proven track records (or at least look to be in mid-season form).  Here is a list of which starting pitchers have impressive of late and warrant rotation consideration regardless of how many starts they will make in week 8. Numbers are compiled during the last 14 days.
