Don’t look now, but David Price might have found his way in the major leagues. 

After keeping the Yankees in check for more than seven innings in his first start, Price dominated the Orioles for more than seven innings in his second.  He gave up just one run and struck out seven O’s while walking just two on his way to his second win in two starts.  

Miguel Montero will have the surgery on his injured knee and will miss the next four to six weeks.  It has been determined by his second opinion that Montero does not have torn ligaments in his knee.  This is great news for Montero owners as there was a fear that he would miss months, not weeks.  Chris Snyder will fill in for Montero. 

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

Scott Podsednik, Kansas City Royals

After a two-day break, Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight is back with everything you need to know from Tuesday night’s action. Tonight, we’re featuring the Mets and Rockies at Coors.

Game No. 10 – New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies

In an extremely lopsided game, David Wright was the lone bright spot for the Mets. New York’s third baseman reached base four times (two hits, two walks) and hit a solo HR to lead off the fourth, his second of the young season.

Joe Mauer: The most important fantasy player in the universe

Most fantasy baseball players who have the luck of picking first in their draft will probably turn to the likes of Albert Pujols, Hanley Ramirez or Alex Rodriguez. Each of these players are elite, if not the best, fantasy players at their positions (1B, SS, and 3B).

These rankings are based on a 300 point system— 150 for offensive production and 150 for pitching production. 30 points (1 point for each team) is the most points any team can get in a given category.

The best thing about being in a league of pretty smart baseball people is that they know how baseball works. Averages even out. ERA's will come down. The statistics, more than any other sport, are pretty good predictors. 

Active baseball fans know that. Experienced fantasy owners also know that. 

That's why, in Uncle Charlie's League , you won't see the flurry of activity that you see in other leagues. The trends that show up on the front page will not be reflected on the transactions page. 

In a new segment on Fantasy Baseball Insiders, our Insider will answer a fantasy baseball-related question sent from one of our readers.

Whether you have a trade proposal you’d like a second opinion on, or you’re unsure who to add, drop, or keep, we’ve got you covered in something appropriately titled: The Insiders’ Inbox.

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