Another week of baseball in the books means another Winners, Losers, and Waiver Wire Wonders blog from the fantasy guru. Keep in mind, the stats I show are the players stats for the week, not on the season. Let’s go!

Winners

1B – Albert Pujols – St. Louis Cardinals – .389 BA, 7 H, 6 R, 1 Double, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 5 BB, 3 K

This is what you expect from Pujols. He hit four home runs and drove in 11 this week, putting his season totals up to 26 home runs and 68 RBI’s. Not to mention his .329 average. Pujols is one of the best fantasy players around and in no way, shape, or form should he ever be on your bench.

1B – Miguel Cabrera – Detroit Tigers – .458 BA, 11 H, 9 R, 2 Doubles, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 3 K

MY BOY!!!!!!!! That’s what I was expecting when I drafted Miggy on all eight of my fantasy teams. You should expect this type of production from him for the rest of the year. He has a .333 average with 14 home runs and 44 RBI’s and is an elite fantasy player that should be in your lineup at all times.

OF – B.J. Upton – Tampa Bay Rays – .429 BA, 12 H, 6 R, 3 Doubles, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 1 BB, 5 K, 2 SB

Looks like Upton is finally starting to hit his groove. He started slow after his injury and didn’t look like the Upton that we all drafted. However, he is hitting over .300 in June and has 11 stolen bases. In total, he has a .241 average with five home runs, 24 RBI’s and 26 stolen bases. He is a must own and a must start in all formats.

OF – Ryan Braun – Milwaukee Brewers – .385 BA, 10 H, 10 R, 1 Double, 1 Triple, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 2 BB, 3 K, 2 SB

Braun has been good this year and he was even better this week. He scored 10 runs and had eight RBI’s, plus he stole two bases. Braun has 15 home runs and 50 RBI’s on the year and is an elite fantasy player. Keep him active in all formats.

1B – Derrek Lee – Chicago Cubs – .364 BA, 8 H, 5 R, 1 Double, 4 HR, 9 RBI, 1 BB, 5 K

D-Lee has caught fire as of late. He is on an 18 game hitting streak and hit four home runs this week. He now has 11 home runs and 36 RBI’s on the year and looks to be back to an everyday fantasy player. Keep him active while he’s hot.

1B – Prince Fielder – Milwaukee Brewers – .391 BA, 9 H, 6 R, 3 Doubles, 2 HR, 11 RBI, 4 BB, 3 K

The Prince has lived up to his reputation so far this year. He drove in 11 runs this week and now has 67 on the year. He is also hitting .299 with 17 home runs. He has become an elite fantasy option and should be started at all times.

SP – Felix Hernandez – Seattle Mariners – 16.3 IP, 1 W, 1 CG, 1 SO, 14 K, 6 BB, 8 HA, 2 ER
