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?

ANAHEIM -- The Angels took the field on Friday night.

All 24 of them.

The 25th roster spot, the one that belonged to Nick Adenhart before he and two friends were killed in a car accident in the early hours of Thursday morning, remained vacant as the club returned to action. Adenhart's grieving teammates played a game against the Boston Red Sox.

So the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Yankees are in the news today. Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?

Wait a minute. This is an ANGELS Dugout? The hell is an Angels Dugout?

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California By Way of the Western Coast of the United States of America a Country Via Great Britain of Europe are on top of the world, but in the world of sports you've got to have something other than your ridiculously long name to complain about, so here it is: Francisco Rodriguez should probably not be pitching as much as he is. But it's Mike Scioscia's job to coach the team, and coach he must. If there's a late inning save situation, who ELSE do you want in there to pitch? Ah, there's the rub.

Tonight's Dugout is after the jump. And after every other jump this week (just in case).
