Very good article Jim. I wish you could have done one for AL and one for NL but it was still very helpful. What about slow starting pitchers? any tips on who to buy low on?

Good article Jim.
I certainly hope some of these guys pick it up, namely Teixeira and A-Ram. Those two guys were 2 of my first 3 or 4 picks in as many leagues as I possibly could snag them in - which has contributed to a pretty disappointing showing in the majority of my leagues.
What gets me though is everytime I check the game scores Teixeira will be 2/4, or 3/5, etc, but will have 0 or 1 RBI. It seems that so far most of his hits have been coming when runners aren't on, and his worse at bats have been coming when runners are on. Eventually the two will balance out and he'll start getting more hits with runners on, and you can never doubt his power potential in that park and in that lineup. I'm more worried about A-Ram turning it on with that Lee-less and demoralized Cubbies team...

Well... not to foreshadow or anything................ I usually write my column (The Hook) on Wednesdays, which is dedicated to pitching. This column (On Deck) is dedicated to hitting, and I was just writing an article to help out.
