Daily Roto Pickups: June 27th

Corey Luebke SP, SD, (6%) - Luebke has taken over the fifth stop in the rotation for the Padres and there's every reason to believe that he can help your fantasy team as long as he can hold onto the spot. We have to be a bit careful with his numbers in the big leagues since most of them came out of the bullpen but it's hard to argue with a career K/9 above 9.0 and solid control. He was primarily a starter in the minors where he showed excellent control even if his K rate didn't approach what we've seen so far this year. Pitchers usually lose some of their statistical shine when moving to the rotation but even if that happens to Luebke he can always fall back on the bonus of playing in a fantastic pitcher's park.

Chase Headley 3B, SD, (27%) - Headley has always been a borderline 3B in fantasy leagues. He has less power than you'd want from a CI (12 HR in 156 in '09 has been his season high) but more speed than you'd expect from the hot corner (17 last year.) The interesting thing about his line this year is that his BB% is creeping up into the very good level, meaning that he'll have that many more opportunities to swipe bags. If you've already got a cushion in HR's and need a CI who's going to get you some Steals while not ruining your BA you could do worse than Headley.
