The first week I told you to buy Devon Travis. The 2nd week I told you to buy Steven Souza. This might be the most improbable streak since Joe DiMaggio's. I'm not talking about his 56-game hitting streak, either. I'm talking about his lesser known streak, but equally improbable 117-day streak of him calling Marilyn Monroe, having another man pick up, but still thinking she was being loyal. That streak might actually be even more remarkable than the hitting one. "Who was that? Cable guy? There's no cable for another thirty years. Oh, a guy that drives a San Fran cable car? It's research for a part? Gotcha." That's Joe D. ringing up Monroe. Dexter Fowler's criminally underowned. Let's just go on this alone: Fowler, Soler, Rizzo, Bryant, Castro. For the whole year. That's the Cubs lineup. If Fowler doesn't back into 95 runs, it's due to injury. Next up, he looks like Pookie from New Jack City, but he has surprising ten homer power. Actually, 12 homers is likely the low end. A couple of windy days in Chicago when it gets hot and he's getting 15 homers. If Jim Belushi bats his eyelashes at the right Cubs scorer, Fowler may just get gifted an extra homer. Steals? Well, that's the tricky thing. He has 25-steal speed, but it's been a few years since he's shown it. He had 4 steals already this year. Just doing rudimentary math and he gets to 24 steals on the year. That can go up to 30 or down to 19. Either way, 95/12/40/.265/20 is ownable and startable in every single league. Now, excuse me, I'm returning to writing my one man stage play of Joe D. and Marilyn dating in heaven called, "And The Cloud Went Crazy." Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
