    C.C. is the man. He is incredible for the Brewers. I think Varitek only deserves a spot in tonights game because of the way he handles the pitching staff. I don't even know if Dice-K can speak english so its probably important for Tek to be in there. He did hit a homer of Guthrie, and your right about Guthrie being hot.

    I would say for the 2nd baseman to look at Jeff Kent and Alexi Casilla. These guys have been in the free agent market in my league, I picked them both up and moved Upton to OF, and have been doing well ever since. Kent has Ramirez in front of him, and Casilla is batting .330 and should be back on Friday or Saturday.

    I would say for anyone who isn't sure on Guthrie, get him. I have had him on my team since I first saw him pitch. Stats don't showcase what this guy can do. He throws a 2-seam at 88-93, and changes speed to get hitters out in front constantly. He can gun a 4-seam at 95-97 on occasion, and usually to get the hitter off the plate, jam him, or go above the bat for a blow-by strikeout. What makes him amazing is that he pitches well against the American League East, which is constantly full of great hitting teams. He has tamed the Sox and Yankees on many occasions, so great teams don't phase him.

    Jason Varitek shouldn't start for anyone. If you still have him on your team, you probably aren't playing fantasy baseball.

    I question the Olsen start.

    Thats it, great article guys.
