Waiver Wire Gems

Entering another week of fantasy you may be looking for a boost at a couple positions. Here's a few guys that are hot as of late and may be worth the pickup.

Batters

Josh Willingham- Hes had some nice seasons in Florida, but was a fourth outfielder on Washington. With Milledge down in the minors, hes been been getting increased playing time. Hit 4 HR 5 RBI and a .286 AVG last week. RBI total should go up as he moves up in the lineup. He's red hot, but its too early to give him the add. Stash him on your watch list and give him some time.

Casey Kotchman- Another guy who had success at another location (Angels). He's been red hot as of late, but I wouldn't this production to stay. He's been unproductive since coming to Atlanta, and in my opinion, his hitting is coming as a direct result of his benching. Recently Bobby Cox started infielder Martin Prado over Kotchman, which light a fire under Casey's butt.

Pitchers

Brett Cecil- Add this guy as fast as you can. Pitching 8 scoreless in his last start on Sunday, he's got a lot of upside and is playing for a Toronto team that has been scoring runs by the bundles. This guy could be a very good 3rd pitcher for you fantasy team. Only 13% owned in yahoo leagues.

Kiko Calero- Relief pitcher for the Florida Marlins. He's got 5 holds on the season along with a great line, posting a 1.68 ERA, .90 WHIP, and 12.42 K/9. With undoubtedly help your ratios to help backup your rotation. Readily available in all yahoo leagues.

P.S.
Sorry about not posting all weekend, as I was afk all weekend.
