Here’s some quick adds for an August fantasy baseball playoff push…
1) Adam Jones, Baltimore - Can you say five tool stud? Jones is what fantasy dreams are made of and has 
a .314 batting average since May, hitting his first career grand slam in the sixth inning on Monday against the Yankees. Jones was the key player in the trade that sent Bedard to the Mariners and is starting to pay dividends for the O’s. Grab him now.
2) Ian Stewart, Colorado - The 2003 first round pick of the Colorado Rockies (10th overall) is finally getting regular playing time. Better yet, due to a myriad of injuries in the Colorado infield, Stewart now qualifies at second base. Stewart has good power and balls fly out of Coors field in August!
3) Jeff Baker, Colorado - As I said with Stewart…balls fly out of Coors field in August. Jeff Baker has been a hit machine since the all-star break batting nearly .500 with three home runs. He qualifies at first and second base.
4) Paul Maholm, Pittsburgh - If you need wins you may want to look elsewhere but Maholm is on an impressive 11 start streak in which he has compiled a 2.76 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 51 Ks in his last 78.1 innings. He’s 5-1 in that span, but again…don’t look for too many wins pitching for the Pirates.
Thank you for the interesting read! Alright playtime is over and back to school work.
