For a guy who leads the National League All Star voting for his position, he sure hasn’t helped my fantasy team as of late. JBay powered my week 10 win with 34 pts (9-19, 6 1B, 2B, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 5 R, 11 BB, 4 KO). Good stuff. He followed that up with 3 pts in week 11 (still got the win), and 8 pts for week 12 (suffered a crushing defeat). So far this week he has 3 points. This guy is killing me. He ranks in the top 10 for the outfield coming in at number 10. Coming into the season he was touted as a top 3 guy. I made him my first round selection, and frankly, I’m disappointed in his performance. I hope that he’s able to rise out of his slump to carry the BALCO Hitmen on to a triumphant season. I’m not so sure.

Have no fear, I’m still in first place in the league (although I’ve fallen from 1st to 4th in points total). I will need guys like Bay to contribute consistently to the team. I also need free agent pick-ups Rocco Baldelli, and Dan Uggla to continue their torrid hitting. My pitching is still a huge strength for my team, but I’ve really had a hard time settling on a relief pitcher. If anyone has any tips or ideas for players who are under the radar, or guys you think I should dump, let me know.
