Welcome to the hitting streamers column for the week of 06/17-06/23. [...]

Like last week, this weeks story-line was plastered with news about prospect call-ups (and some of them weren't even middle infielders). Some guys have arrived with plenty of fanfare (and a HOF last name), some guys have quietly received the call of duty to fill in a gap in their club's starting lineup, and others are currently proving their metal in battles to keep their spot in the order. In the midst of all of these bright and shiny superstar-hopefuls arriving in the MLB, there are plenty of [...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed. I[...]

As the calendar flips into May, you might find yourself struggling to remain patient with underperforming players on your fantasy teams. Some of those players may not deserve the benefit of the doubt, but many do.There's always room for improvement, and if you've determined that a player falls into the former category RE: doubts and their attendant benefits, this column is designed to help you choose the next man up.

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so.Throughout the season, you want to get the jump on your competition and sniff out the breakout players before they break out. That's what this list is all about--using some in-depth research and advanced analytics to[...]

Texas Rangers infielder Danny Santana made the most of his start in Wednesday's 7-5 loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates, finishing 2-for-3 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and two RBI. Overall he is slashing .355/.379/.613, and he has racked up multi-hit performances in three of his past four games. He already has six multi-hit games this season, too. He has been playing fairly regularly for manager Chris [...]

It was a good week to watch baseball if you were keeping your eyes peeled for assets of interest out of the middle infield. Some guys capitalized off of their hot starts and kept the ball rolling with another handful of games that support the surrounding hype, while others turned the tables and started getting their groove back (and right when we were ready to throw in the towel). It always seems that, right when we believe that we have the field narrowed down, a big injury, roster move, or pros[...]
