« Monday O's report | Main | Clemens' first start »

3 up, 3 down

UP

Chone Figgins, 3B, Angels: Los Angeles' third baseman is 13-for-23 (.565) with four RBIs, eight runs and five stolen bases in his last six games. Before last week, Figgins had struggled after missing the early part of the season due to injury. Overall, he's batting .221 with eight stolen bases. Figgins had 52 steals last season and 62 in 2005.

Russell Martin, C, Dodgers: He's 9-for-23 (.391) with four homers, five RBIs and seven runs in his last seven games. Martin has been tremendous all season, hitting .314 with seven homers, 39 RBIs, 38 runs and nine stolen bases.

C.C. Sabathia, SP, Indians: He's 4-0 in his last five starts and 9-1 with a 3.40 ERA and 83 strikeouts overall. In his last start against the Royals, Sabathia tossed a complete game shutout. He allowed five hits, struck out eight and didn't walk a batter.

DOWN

Justin Morneau, 1B, Twins: The reigning AL MVP is 3-for-22 (.136) with no homers and one RBI in his last six games. Morneau has still produced all season, hitting .277 with 16 homers, 44 RBIs and 38 runs.

Juan Pierre, OF, Dodgers: He's 4-for-28 (.143) in his last seven games. On the season, Pierre is batting .269 with 34 runs and 18 stolen bases, but his on-base percentage is down to .298.

Carlos Zambrano, SP, Cubs: He went to blows with catcher Michael Barrett in his last start, but Zambrano probably has some fantasy owners who'd like to get him in the Octagon. He was hammered for 13 hits and six earned runs in his last start against Atlanta. Zambrano has been a major disappointment this season, going 5-5 with a 5.62 ERA.
