Salfino (AL), Ferris (NL) on July 18 - July 24

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Put 'em in

Eric Bedard, P, Orioles: The Orioles lefty was red hot before being sidelined with a bum knee. Can he pick up where he left off? He gets two starts this week against the weak-hitting Twins and Devil Rays.

Cliff Lee, P, Indians: We know he's been awful lately (7.00 ERA his last three starts), but he gets two starts against the Royals and Mariners. Lee makes a nice buy right now because of the Indians incredibly weak schedule the last 35 games.

Bench 'em

Kenny Rogers, P, Rangers: Rogers seems to have a lot other than pitching on his mind and has a suspension hanging over him. His ERA over his last few starts is over 5.00. He'll get pounded in Texas on Wednesday by the Yankees.

Nook Logan, OF, Tigers: There's a log jam in the Tigers outfield with Magglio Ordonez' return. After a hot start, Logan hit .256 in June and is at .095 in July, looking like the fifth outfielder he projected to be based on his minor league stats.


NATIONAL LEAGUE

Put 'em in

Chase Utley, 2B, Phillies: He's now slotted third ahead of Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell in the Philly lineup, and Utley plays in the home bandbox for all six games this week.

Chad Cordero, RP, Nationals: He's set up perfectly for a run at the save record; the Nationals are a winning club that plays a lot of low-scoring games. Cordero should be busy this week with seven home dates against two non-contending teams (Rockies, Astros).

Bench 'em

Aaron Miles, 2B, Rockies: Colorado heads to the road for seven games, and they'll face decent pitching along the way (including three games at Washington). It's the wrong time to play your fringe Rockies.

Mark Redman, P, Pirates: It's been a month since Redman had a decent start, so you don't want to double dip with him this week. Redman's value will take an additional hit if he's dealt out of Pittsburgh, as PNC Park is a favorable spot for the fly-balling lefty.
