Here’s a look at the unheralded players who played well yesterday.

Will Mark Teixeira ever turn things around?  What is going on in the Orioles & Diamondbacks bullpens?  Is Mike Leake for real?  Let’s look at these questions and all the rest from yesterday’s games:

It is time to take a moment to appreciate the kind of start that Miguel Cabrera is off to, among many other things. 

There is some talk about a couple of top prospects making their way to the Major Leagues; one is actually based on a report while the other is speculatory.

Are you hurting in the RBI category? Here are some reasonably available players that can help you out.

Delmon Young, OF, Minnesota Twins

Young had 12 RBI in the past 15 days while hitting .286 with five runs, a HR, and a SB. On the year he’s hitting .265 with 27 RBI, 20 runs, five HRs, and three SBs. Delmon is owned in 19.9 percent of ESPN and 41 percent of CBS leagues.

Clint Barmes, 2B, Colorado Rockies

The only way to measure a closer’s true success is by looking at their performance come year’s end. Since we don’t have the luxury of looking into the future, we measure a closer’s success on a weekly basis.

For this reason, we may have players such as Billy Wagner at the top and, as we saw last week, players even as great as Mariano Rivera at the bottom.

No reliever is safe in this report, and an A grade will only be given to the week’s most outstanding performers.

The baseball world should be focusing on the retirement of Ken Griffey Jr., one of the best players of his generation.

With the first third of the baseball season complete, it’s time to update the fantasy baseball rankings.
