Fantasy Baseball Free Agent Pool: 2010 Run Scorers, Vol. 1

Are you hurting in the run category? Here are some reasonably available players that can help you out.

Orlando Hudson, 2B, Minnesota Twins (pictured)
Hudson has scored 20 runs on the year, including 10 in his last ten games (seven in his last five). Even without Mauer, the Twins have a potent offense. The O-Dog is hitting .297 with two HRs, 11 RBIs, and three SBs. He’s owned in 46.5 percent of ESPN and 60 percent of CBS leagues.

David DeJesus, OF, Kansas City Royals
DeJesus is hitting .275 with 17 runs, three HRs, 11 RBIs, and one SB. He has four runs in his last 10 games. DeJesus is owned in 30.3 percent of ESPN and 52 percent of CBS leagues.

Jose Bautista, 3B/OF, Toronto Blue Jays
Bautista’s average (.221) is dreadful. If you can take it on, he will help you elsewhere. He has scored 16 runs (six in last six games), hit six HRs, collected 20 RBIs, and collected three SBs. Thanks to his average he’s owned in just 21.9 percent of ESPN and 30 percent of CBS leagues.

J.D. Drew, OF, Boston Red Sox
Always an injury risk, Drew typical produces when healthy. His average (.258) also leaves plenty to be desired, but he has scored 15 runs with five HRs and 17 RBIs. He’s on a tear right now hitting 11 for 21 (.524) with seven runs, three HRs, and sevenRBIs in his last five games. Drew is owned in 43.5 percent of ESPN and 53 percent of CBS leagues.

Ryan Sweeney, OF, Oakland A’s
