Salfino (AL), Ferris (NL) on June 20 - 26

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Put 'em in

Ervin Santana, P, Angels: This phenom has shined in two of his three outings and gets two starts this week at home (Rangers, Dodgers).

Danny Haren, P, A's: Haren is on fire, going at least six innings in his last seven starts and is helping his owners in strikeouts while being very stingy with walks (10 in his last 49 innings). He has two starts this week (Mariners, Giants).

Bench 'em

Kevin Brown, P, Yankees: His bad luck continued last week week when he reinjured his back, making his status this week uncertain. If healthy, he's a good buy-low candidate. But sit him for now.

Mike Sweeney, 1B, Royals: His latest injury occurred when making a tag on first base on an errant throw. Sweeney's bad wrist could severely limit his effectiveness in the batter's box should he try to play through his pain.


NATIONAL LEAGUE

Put 'em in
Woody Williams, P, Padres: Each start has been progressively better since he came off the DL three weeks ago, and Williams gets two Petco-aided turns to work with this week (Dodgers, Mariners).


Pat Burrell, OF, Phillies: He's hitting .377 with eight home runs at home, and home is where the Phillies are all this week. Sounds good to us.


Bench 'em

Derek Lowe, P, Dodgers: He's had three bad turns in four, including a messy one in Kansas City, and the strikeout rate is falling. Sell Lowe before the ERA gets too high.


Wily Mo Pena, OF, Reds: His power potential is tantalizing, but he's still totally clueless with respect to the strike zone. Good luck seeing a pitch to hit in St. Louis.
