July 25, 2009

July 13, 2009

Our View:
The Flyin' Hawaiian is hitting just .284 this season, but has a nine game hitting streak and has 15 hits over that stretch. He's not a good source of power, but if he gets the average up he's a solid fantasy contributor. He makes his bones on runs, steals and AVG.
