For one it is very convenient. Football jerseys come in different colors and designs. There are so many things that separate one shirt from another. Searching for the right shirt requires a little help. With a search engine, that is easy. Wh Adidas launched the world's first pair of seamless running shoes. Once you arrived the top of mountain, you would see the mountains are little. The phrase of classic statement from the poem Du Fu has become the motto of many Donkey Friends.
Remember the good old days of Little League? When the shortstop was the coachs son and by far the teams best player? When you could scout out your oppositions hitting ability simply by looking at their defensive lineup? (For those of you who never played when you were little, they usually stuck the shall we say less motivated kids in the outfield.) Heck, remember the 90s? Wasnt every great player in the majors a shortstop back then? Even A-Rod was still playing that infield lynchpin position back then. Weird now that A-Rod is just another power hitting veteran. But I digress.These days, there are two types of shortstops. There are the glorified second-basemen who are put out there to steal a few bases and try to hit for a high average, and then there are the old-school, best-player-on-the-team, power-hitting, five-tool superstars. Well, if youre looking for value in a daily fantasy baseball league or trying to shore up the position in a longer league, there are limited options that wont break the bank. Still, here are some of your best bets if youre looking to save salary cap money or make a solid free-agent pickup for your fantasy team at shortstop.Rafael Furcal, Dodgers. When Furcal is at his best, hes actually a surprisingly efficient power hitter. When hes at his worst, he cant hit the broad side of a barn. Fortunately for you, fantasy guru, Furcal is white-hot right about now. Since the beginning of June, Furcal has hit all six of his homers, and has failed to reach base in just four games. That includes a seven game multi-hit game streak at the end of last month. If youre not convinced, hes raised his average from .292 on June 6th to .336 on July 6th. Furcal picks up his game in a big way after the All-Star break every year, so jump on him now if you can still get him for a reasonable price.Jayson Nix, Cleveland. What a couple of weeks this guy has had. In just 12 games since Cleveland picked him up off waivers, Nix has played like a man possessed. Last week alone, Nix hit .333 with five home runs (FIVE! LAST WEEK!) 7 RBI and 3 walks. Are you kidding me? Hes eligible for 2B,3B, and SS depending on your league, but if you play in a one-day league, you have to have this guy on your roster at one of those positions. At least for the next week or so. He hasnt exactly wowed anyone in his baseball career up to this point, so dont make a silly move to get him but if hes available for pickup or you have only a little salary cap left, do it without hesitation.Felipe Lopez, St. Louis. Another hot infield utility man from the Midwest, Lopez plays more like a second baseman than a shortstop but if youve got your steals and home runs coming from other places, Lopez is worth a look. Hes hitting .440 for the month of July. He wont provide a ton of stats other than his consistent hitting, but hed complement someone like Mark Reynolds nicely. If these numbers keep up, look to see him near the top of the St. Louis lineup soon which means some pretty serious protection behind him and easier pitches to hit. Cliff Pennington, Oakland. If youre looking for a more typical shortstop that can provide a few stolen bases along with a high average, Pennington is your guy. Over the past month his batting average has risen nearly 60 points, thanks in part to a .391 BA in July. Since hes been on base so much lately, his opportunities to steal bases have shot up as well. More than half of his steals have come since the beginning of June, and that number will likely increase for Oaklands hottest hitter. One word of caution, however; hes absolutely atrocious against left-handed pitching. One-day fantasy GMs should seriously consider inserting him into the lineup against right-handed pitchers in day games...particularly against the Orioles, his favorite opponent in his young career.Jose Reyes, New York Mets. Reyes started the season at a glacial pace, but hes tearing up opposing pitchers over the past month. 5 homers, 5 steals, and a .362 average since June 8th dont lie; Reyes is back in a big way. July and August are historically his most productive months, so grab him now while his season .277 BA still fools other owners.
