Seeing Red (5x5 Roto Bullish)

Justin Upton has 11 homers and it is only April 25th. People are asking if they should sell high. Simply put the answer is NO. His fly ball rate is right at 46% which is where it was in 2011. He is happy, in a great lineup and driving the ball, far. Do not sell Justin Upton.

Pedro Alvarez has homered in 3 of his last 5 games. Alvarez got off to a miserable start but he always has. He is possibly one of the most streaky power hitters which can cause some owners to miss his power surges by benching him. You drafted him, you knew what he was. You have to roll him out there all season to get every bit of power potential you can. He's hitting .368 over his last 7 games(7 for19 with 4 HRs).

Starling Marte is another Pirate who has been producing. He's been producing all year actually. He's batting .329 with 13 R, 1 HR, 9 RBI and 5 SBs. The power will come soon. You could be looking at a 20/40 guy in Marte this year.

Nelson Cruz has been nailz over his last 26 at bats. Nelly has 4 HR, 12 RBI and a .346 BA over that span.

Hot 7 over the last 7 Days:
Yu Darvish: 2-0  21Ks  0.00 ERA 0.84 WHIP
Mike Napoli: 2 HR, 10 RBI, .333 BA, 7 R
Kyle Seager: 11 for 22, 2 HRs, 5 RBI
Adam Wainwright: 2-0 1.76 ERA 0.97 WHIP 13/1 K/BB
Alex Cobb: 2-0  10/2 K/BB, 1.72 ERA 0.95 WHIP
