The first 10 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 11. Lucky for you the GNUru is here to help you with your week 11 lineup decisions.
Week 11 - GNUru Batter Banter
With 10 full weeks in the books, it 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 (Alfonso Soriano, Vlad Guerrero, Ryan Howard, etc.) others are still scratching their way into fantasy lineups (Corey Hart, Casey Kotchman, Edwin Encarnacion, Brendan Harris, etc.) and warrant lineup consideration.

Week 11 - 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 impressed early and warrant rotation consideration regardless of how many starts they will make in week 11. Numbers are compiled during the last 14 days.
