Fantasy Baseball Free Agent Pool: 2011 RBI Guys Vol. 8

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

Josh Willingham, Oakland A’s:  Willingham has 16 RBI since July 28th to bring his season total up to 66 on the year. He’s struggling with his average hitting just .249, but it’s not stopping him from driving in the runs. Willingham has 19 home runs on the year as well. Josh is owned in about 30 percent of Yahoo and 60 percent of ESPN leagues.

Yunieksy Betancourt, Milwaukee Brewers:  Betancourt had 15 RBI since July 27th entering last night’s game against the Cardinals to give him 50 on the year, which isn’t bad for a shortstop at this point in the season. He has a hit in 20 of his past 22 games, eight of them being multi-hit games. Yuniesky has been red hot since June, but is still only owned in a little under 30 percent of fantasy leagues.

Mike Carp, Seattle Mariners:  Carp is hitting .310 with 12 runs, four home runs and 18 RBI in 35 games (116 at bats) since debuting on June 8th. He’s riding a nine-game hitting streak. Mike is owned in less than fifteen percent of fantasy leagues.

Rick Ankiel, Washington Nationals:  Ankiel has 11 RBI since July 29th, as he’s finally finding a groove. He has a hit in nine of his past 10 games. Rick is also owned in less than fifteen percent of fantasy leagues.

Juan Rivera, Los Angeles Dodgers
Rivera has 10 RBI since July 31st to bring his season total up to 41. He has a hit in 11 of his past 12 games. Juan is owned in less than two percent of fantasy leagues.
