Adds: Everything's Beachy

The Fantasy Sports Virtuoso accepts responsibility for each of his predictions, good and bad. Users seeking to voice their anger or inform me of my incompetence need only leave a comment or e-mail me at SeanDuffySD@gmail.com!



















Brandon Beachy, who returned from a stint on the disabled list stemming from an oblique injury suffered in May, came back last Wednesday with a dominating performance against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on four hits and two walks, while striking out 11 Toronto batters over six innings. The lone Blue Jays run came on Jose Bautista's 22nd home run this year. Beachy, who started the season with a series of successful  starts, compiling an ERA of 3.45, a WHIP of 1.08, made his second start off the disabled list at Seattle. The small, yet promising, sampling size of his starts against Toronto and at Seattle should be a sign of things to come and should put potential owners' minds to rest.

His ownership is still hovering around 50 percent, despite his hot start. I think anyone in leagues of 10+ should look into adding Beachy to their roster.



Pitching Prospects: (SD Edition) (Owned percentages)
Corey Luebke (SD LHP) Seven percent Went five solid innings in his first start of the season allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out six Braves hitters. Luebke has a K/9 ratio of 10.0, a WHIP of 0.95 and a BAA of .177.
Mike Adams (SD RHP) 33 percent - The supposedly mortal Mike Adams gave up a run against the Braves on Sunday, but the righty-reliever still has been putting up insane numbers with a WHIP of 0.65, a K/9 ratio of 9.7, and an amazing K/BB ratio of 7.6. Adams is also the likely closer in waiting if and when Heath Bell ultimately gets traded.
