Thursday fantasy wrap

BY ADAM RONIS

Nate McLouth just won't go away. He went 4-for-4 with three runs and is hitting .314. He stole his fifth base. Expect his stolen bases to increase and his power to taper off.

Xavier Nady continued his hot start with a 2-for-3 game. He hit homer number seven and has 38 RBIs with a .324 average. I'd still sell high.

Jason Bay hit his 11th home run, but he has just 22 RBIs.

Matt Joyce has been productive when he plays for the Tigers. He went 2-for-3 with his fifth homer in just 36 at-bats. He should be owned in AL-only leagues and considered in deep mixed leagues.

Jeremy Bonderman had a solid start, but don't get excited. First, it came against the struggling Mariners. He still gave up eight hits and two walks and struck out just two in six innings to get the win. He is 3-4 with a 4.58 ERA. His K/BB ratio is 32/35. Don't expect much from him.

Andrew Miller has been good the last three starts after an awful start. He was excellent against the Diamondbacks throwing seven scoreless innings and he allowed five hits, one walk and struck out nine. He is 4-3 with a 5.33 ERA. He will be inconsistent, but he has potential.

Josh Hamilton homered in the top of the 10th inning to give the Rangers a win. He has 12 homers and 53 RBIs and stole his second base.

After a few rough outing, C.J. Wilson threw a scoreless inning for his ninth save.

Tim Hudson went eight innings, allowing seven hits, two runs, walked none and struck out four to get the win. He is 7-3 with a 2.97 ERA.

Jose Guillen started slow, but he's starting to come on. He went 4-for-5 with three runs, three RBIs and his sixth homer. He also has 34 RBIs.

Mike Lowell has been scorching this month. He went 3-for-4 with three runs and a grand slam. He is hitting .283 with six homers and 19 RBIs.

Dice-K is walking way too many batters, but it hasn't hurt him yet. He went 5 2/3 innings and allowed six hits, three runs, walked six and he struck out seven. He is 8-0 with a 2.40 ERA despite a 53/38 K/BB ratio.

Jonathan Papelbon picked up save No. 14.

Ryan Howard maye be hitting .207, but he hit his 13th homer and has 31 RBIs.

Brad Lidge picked up save No. 12 and has a 0.43 ERA.

Khalil Greene hit two homers and now has five. Buy low.

Victor Martinez left the game with a finger injury, but the Indians are optimistic he will play Friday.
