fantasy baseball – week 16

big moves on my fantasy team for this week.

I released Washington Nats pitcher Livan Hernandez for the San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Baumgartner – a two start pitcher this week.   His two starts are on the road against LA and Arizona. I’m expecting a 1-0 record and a no decision. But I think it’s better than the struggling Nationals.

In more SF Giants related news, I benched the 3B Pablo Sandavol and put in a newly acquired 3B Scott Rolen – for some reason the All Star third baseman was a free agent.  I’m predicting that when Sandavol is 100 % healthy and starts playing better, Berkman will be released.

With the Braves primarily playing left handed pitchers this week I also decided to bench Eric Hinske – I’m one of the few owners in Fantasy Baseball to have him starting – but I really like Hinske and he’s produced great numbers for me.   Starting in his place is a newly acquired Royals leadoff hitter Scott Podsednick.  This will make my already fast team faster.
