Daily Pickups - Ian Kennedy / Billy Butler

Pitcher - Ian Kennedy (W, K)

Ian has never been known for his health and I was assuming getting to 150 IP this year would be a stretch. He is also going to likely have an ERA around 4.00 in the second half, but he should get enough wins and does strikeout 7-8 batters every 9 innings. He should be back in another week or two so keep an eye on him and pickup once if he continues to look healthy in rehabs.

He is owned in 13% of CBS leagues.

Hitter - Billy Butler (HR, RBI, BA, OBP)

He has been killing again in minor leagues and is going to get another shot. Most projections only had him around 20 homers in around 500 at bats. He could hit around 10 for the rest of the season. He got onto a lot of sleeper picks this year for his power and hopefully he can show some, but he has only topped 20 once in A level. I don't mean to put down him as he deserves a pickup, but don't cut to much to get him.
