Poppin' out the box scores and right into your cubicle, the Roto Rush is your double espresso shot of fantasy baseball advice every weekday.

Ben Zobrist has transformed from a run-of-the-mill slap hitter into one of the most powerful middle infielders in baseball. Right when you thought he might be cooling off, SMASH! -- a grand slam against Kansas City for his 10th home run of the year. He's slugging .659 with a 1.073 OPS for crying out loud. And he's somehow still available in over 35 percent of mixed leagues. So the question becomes: Is it time for you to believe in the man Joe Maddon nicknamed "Zorilla" or will his power eventually fade just like Marco Scutaro's did?

This move kind of flew under the radar, but I think it's worth noting today. Yesterday, the Astros sent minor league second baseman Drew Sutton to Cincinnati to complete the trade that the two teams made for Jeff Keppinger shortly before the regular season started. I don't know how they do it, but it seems like at least once a week the Astros make a move that makes me scratch my forehead and wonder just what's going on in their front office.

To a casual observer, this might seem like a pretty lateral move. Keppinger's hit well with the Astros so far and Sutton is a 26-year-old who's just breaking in to Triple-A for the first time. But look a little deeper, and see that Sutton had a huge breakout year in Double-A last year and he's one of the only remaining bright spots in a farm system that's been ravaged by trades, giving away draft picks to make free agent signings, and poor drafting.
