Gavin Floyd, White Sox - Floyd didn't get out of the gates as quickly as he would have liked, but he's making up for that slow start. Over his last five starts he's struck out 36 batters in 37.2 innings and has a 1.67 ERA. For those slow at or uninterested in reverse engineering an ERA, that means he's only given up seven earned in five starts. He's only owned in 55% of fantasy leagues.

I know the argument against judging the value of a starting pitchers by wins and losses. I can even buy into to a certain degree. However, until the fantasy baseball community buys in, I need to discuss pitchers who can get your team wins.

Carl Crawford has a ten stolen base lead on the rest of the major league pack. If you have him on your fantasy baseball roster, you're probably in good shape in the steals category. But, what if you need some help? Here are some options.

Michael Bourn, Astros - Bourn is only owned in 41% of fantasy leagues, but his 15 stolen bases have him tied for fourth place among all hitters. Most of you avoided Bourn on draft day (and by the looks of it, still are) because of his craptastic .229 batting average last season. Bypassing Bourn at this point is a bad idea. He's sporting a .288 batting average and has cemented his place at the top of the Astros batting order.
