Roto Lunch – August 3

Posted by Rob McQuown on Monday, August 3, 2009 at 11:53 am

Starting Pitchers:

- Randy Wells at Cincinnati.  Don’t worry about the stadium.  Rolen may have a history of Cub-bashing, but he and Votto can only do so much.  And besides, Rolen is Day-to-day.

- Kenshin Kawakami @ San Deigo.

- Brett Anderson at home against Texas.  This just in: Texas can’t hit this year.  No good explanation for it, but with Kinsler out, it’s going to be even worse.  And Anderson is good.

Hitters:

- of Josh Willingham – why is this guy still available in 80% of leagues, anyway?

- c Miguel Montero – ditto, and a good platoon matchup today.

- 3b Scott Rolen is day-to-day, but if he plays, should be okay.

- of Lastings Milledge doesn’t have an ideal matchup, but Mock is sufficiently unproven, and the Nats pen suffiently bad, that he’s a good play anyway.

- of Kosuke Fukudome – in Cincy against righty Harang.

- of Garrett Jones.  I promised myself I wouldn’t ever recommend him, but here he is. It took a crappy RHP and a very short slate of games.

- ss Cristian Guzman – nothing great going on here, but it’s a short slate, and he’s a .300 hitter.

- c Kurt Suzuki – Dustin Nippert… woo hoo!

- 2b Alberto Callaspo.
