Salfino (AL), Ferris (NL) on August 15 - 21

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Put 'em in

Jamie Moyer, P, Mariners: He gets a start this week against the Royals at home, where he's been dominant. If you own Moyer, plan ahead and minimize starts away from Safeco.

Felix Hernandez, P, Mariners: We don't care where this phenom is hurling. But home starts against the punchless Royals and Twins are very nice.

Bench 'em

Daniel Cabrera, P, Orioles: Ever so tantalizing for fantasy owners, with his dominant stuff and elusive command. Cabrera is thisclose to being a dominant starter. But he's been very wild lately and gets one start this week against the hot, patient A's.

Mark Kotsay, OF, A's: We had high hopes for Kotsay this year, but he's been severely hampered since the break by a recurrence of an old back injury. Keep him benched until he proves he's over it.


NATIONAL LEAGUE

Put 'em in

Juan Pierre, OF, Marlins. Now is the time to buy him low, so you can watch him pile up the bags against Los Angeles on the weekend. When it comes to throwing out base stealers, the Dodger catchers are far and away the worst in the league.

Matt Holliday, OF, Rockies. He's at .358 since the break with seven home runs, and all the Rockies will have more fun now that Todd Helton is back in the mix. Colorado is home for all six games this week.

Bench 'em

Doug Davis, P, Brewers. He hasn't won in his last nine starts, and his control has totally abandoned him the last couple of weeks. Find another economical lefty.

Preston Wilson, OF, Nationals. Those deep fences in Washington are no fun, just ask Jose Guillen. Wilson is hitting just .226 since touching base in DC, with 33 strikeouts in 84 at-bats.
