Placido Polanco, 2B, Detroit Tigers

Placido Polanco went 3-for-8 with two runs scored and three RBI in the Tigers' 11-9, 16-inning win over the Twins on Friday.

Our View: Polanco, normally a hit machine, hasn't hit over .267 in any month this season. He should be limited to very deep leagues, as his .259 average and five home runs won't translate well anywhere else.

Justin Morneau, 1B, Minnesota Twins

Saturday 7/4, 12:39 AM CT

Justin Morneau was 3-for-7 with a double, a walk and an RBI in the Twins' 11-9 marathon, 16-inning loss to the Tigers on Friday.

Our View: Morneau has been placed in the shadows since the emergence of Joe Mauer this season, but he's quietly having a remarkable fantasy campaign. It's tough to argue with a .311 average, 19 homers and 65 RBI>

Manny Ramirez, LF, Los Angeles Dodgers

Saturday 7/4, 12:36 AM CT

Manny Ramirez was 0-for-3 with a walk in his return to the lineup on Friday night.

Our View: Just Manny being Manny being ineffective at the plate. He's a one man circus, but he a helluva hitter. Keep him in your lineup as he's bound to get hot in the near future.

Adrian Gonzalez, 1B, San Diego Padres

Saturday 7/4, 12:34 AM CT

Adrian Gonzalez was 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Padres 6-3 loss to the Dodgers on Friday.

Our View: A-Gon has been mired in a monster slump lately. He hasn't homered since June 23rd and hasn't had a multi-hit game since June 18th. He's seen his average fall all the way to .265, and one of the game's brightest stars the first two months of the season has considerably dwindled.

Rafael Furcal, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers

Saturday 7/4, 12:31 AM CT

Rafael Furcal went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in the Dodgers' 6-3 win over the Padres on Friday.

Our View: Furcal has yet to hit above .250 in any month this season. He's been a fantasy disaster and the things that owners want most from him (steals) have been tremendously lacking. Firday's swipe was just his fifth.

Pablo Sandoval, 3B, San Francisco Giants

Saturday 7/4, 12:23 AM CT

Pablo Sandoval went 2-for-5 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in the Giants' 13-0 win over the Astros.

Our View: Sandoval broke an 0-for-9 skid with Friday's performance, and the husky young hitter has been one of the year's biggest fantasy surprises. He was a terror for NL pitchers in June with a .394 average, eight homers and 20 RBI.

Ryan Sadowski, P, San Francisco Giants

Saturday 7/4, 12:18 AM CT

Ryan Sadowski just keeps getting it done. The young hurler tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk in the Giants' convincing 13-0 win over Houston.

Our View: Sadowski has bumped Jonathan Sanchez from the rotation and now it looks as if he's not going to give him an opportunity to reclaim his old job. Sadowski is NL-only worthy now and if he keeps this up he'll get plenty of mixed league attention as well.

Aubrey Huff, 1B, Baltimore Orioles

Saturday 7/4, 12:12 AM CT

Aubrey Huff was 2-for-4 with a three run homer in the Orioles' 6-4 win over the Angels on Friday.

Our View: Huff broke out of a 2-for-17 skid with a big night on Friday. He now has 11 homers and 55 RBI on the season and would be a fine fantasy performer if he wasn't stuck at a loaded position (first base).

Ervin Santana, P, Los Angeles Angels

Saturday 7/4, 12:09 AM CT

In his return to action on Friday night, Ervin Santana was promptly rocked by the Orioles. He allowed six runs (four earned) on eight hits and three walks over just five inning. He was took the loss as the Angels fell 6-4.

Our View: Santana hasn't been a semblance of the pitcher he was last season, and this had to dampen the spirits of the Angels faithful. They got a boost with his return, but the results of his performance were disheartening. He's probably safer on your bench until he puts it together again.
