 The first 12 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 13. Lucky for you the GNUru is here to help you with your week 13 lineup decisions.
Week 13 - GNUru Batter Banter
With more than1/3 of the season complete, 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 (Alex Rodriguez, Magglio Ordonez, Ichiro Suzuki, etc.) others are still scratching their way into fantasy lineups (Reggie Willits, Mike Lamb, Corey Hart, Kahlil Greene, 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 New York Mets are the only team with eight games this scoring period
Week 13 - 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 13. Numbers are compiled during the last 14 days.
