Here I am for my first ever edition of Talk of the Day, your source for fantasy baseball help. Today we'll be talking about hot free agent pickups and who you should just drop now. Pickups are Free Agents in a random 12-team Yahoo! Head-to-Head Public League that I joined, but am inactive in.
Pick Up
David Murphy, OF, Texas Rangers
The Stats: .297 BA, 6 HR, 34 RBI, 27 R, 4 SB
The Scoop: Just call this guy Captain Clutch, Murphy is batting .370 with RISP and 2 outs. Pick him up while he's still available. For drop, guys on the DL will not be on the list.
Hunter Pence, OF, Houston Astros
The Stats: .294 BA, 7 HR, 29 RBI, 28 R, 5 SB
The Scoop: Very similar stats to Murphy, I can't believe people haven't jumped on the Pence bandwagon yet. He was highly ranked before the season started. Some people thought he was too much of a risk, but he has proven himself, so why wouldn't you pick him up?
Jair Jurrjens, SP, Atlanta Braves
The Stats: 5-3, 2.64 ERA, 45 K, 22 BB, 1.17 WHIP
The Scoop: HOT HOT HOT!!! Traded to Atlanta along with Gorkys Hernandez in October for Edgar Renteria, in his last start against the Mets, he gave up 1 ER in 7 innings and picked up the W.
Drop
Andruw Jones, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers
The Stats: .165 BA, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 18 R, 0 SB
The Scoop: Just give up already. He is not helping your team by putting up stats like these, especially in a Head-to-Head league where that average will drop your team's overall average.
Kenji Johjima, C, Seattle Mariners
The Stats: .217 BA, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 10 R, 0 SB
The Scoop: This was hard for me to do as he had such good upside. He might get hot later in the season, but for now, let him go and wait.
Tom Gorzelanny, SP, Pittsburgh Pirates
The Stats: 4-4, 6.31 ERA, 26 K, 35 BB, 1.80 WHIP
The Scoop: When you have more walks than strikeouts, you know you're in trouble. Heck, when you have an ERA over 6.00, you know you're in trouble.
