Jedd Gyorko - Gyorko is definitely starting to heat up, as another homer last night gives him 3 to go along with a pair of doubles in his last 6 games. Let's set aside his time at Lake Elsinore and...

Ian Kinsler- TEX- Cold- Kinsler went 0-for-4 to snap an 11-game hitting streak. He is 2-for-13 over his last 3 games. Although the sample size is small this might be the start of some regression to the mean. Kinsler's BABIP...

Hisashi Iwakuma - That's 6-7 in QS for Iwakuma after a 7 IP, 1 ER outing against Toronto yesterday, and since that 7th start was a 5 IP, 2 ER, 11 K performance against the Astros it's safe to say...

Stephen Strasburg, RHP WAS From a health perspective, Saturday's start against the Pirates was encouraging, as Strasburg, who dealt with forearm tightness after his last start, threw 95 pitches over seven innings. However, the results were mixed. Strasburg struck out...

Jordan Lyles- HOU- Rise Value- Lyles had a horrible spring, posting a 17.74 ERA in Grapefruit League play. He has settled down some at AAA. He has a 5.32 ERA in his first 6 games, 5 of them starts, but...

Mike Moustakas - Moustakas is 3-8 with 3 walks and 2 doubles since being benched Friday and Saturday, but is the 24 year old ready to become the 30-HR hitter that we all envision? He's been quite a bit more...

Paul Konerko, 1B CHA Konerko is batting .234 and has a 15/5 K/BB this season. It could be age catching up to him, or it could be his awful batted ball luck so far. He has a 31.3 percent line-drive...
