Second Base, Starting PitchersPitcher - Anibal Sanchez
He has made 2 very good starts so far in A rehab. I don't ever think he was as good as his stats finished as he had some luck with a FIP of 4.22 and an ERA of 2.83. I think he can be a good addition at the trade deadline though. He is currently scheduled to be back in the majors on July 28th to pitch against the Mets. That should be a quick good test to see how he will adjust back to the majors. If you have bench space add him, but otherwise wait till after that start or 2 to see how he is.

Hitter - Alexi Casilla
He's not going to help in any one category, but 2B isn't really a wealth of talent once you get past the top 3 or 4. He is top 15 among second basemen in RBI's which is quite surprising, but otherwise he is isn't top 20 in any category. His average is a bit higher than it should be, but he has a good contact rate which should keep him around .290-.300 althought the drop from BABIP of .335 will make sure he isn't above .300 by much.
He is owned in 37% of CBS leagues.
