Our Eric Mack breaks down the hottest hitters and pitchers every Monday in his Fantasy Baseball Power Players. This week's it's all about the Brewers, who have Prince Fielder and Jeff Suppan sweeping our top honors.
| Top 10 Hitters | ||
| Position, player, team | Last week's Rotisserie stats | |
| 1 | 1B Prince Fielder, MIL | .440 AVG, 4 HR, 12 RBI, 8 R, 0 SB |
| Streaky young hitter had so-so April, but great so far in May! | ||
| 2 | 3B Troy Glaus, TOR | .400-4-7-8-0 |
| Coming off DL, only 56 percent of our leagues had him active. | ||
| 3 | SS J.J. Hardy, MIL | .538-2-9-8-0 |
| It's quite nice to have sleeper SS on pace for .338-41-135-109. | ||
| 4 | RF Shane Victorino, PHI | .478-1-4-8-7 |
| We have to admit we grossly underrated him this spring. | ||
| 5 | RF Ken Griffey, CIN | .478-3-5-5-1 |
| Well, many didn't have him active, but at least he was healthy. | ||
| 6 | LF Craig Monroe, DET | .348-3-10-7-0 |
| Terrible April (.193-1-13-5-0) gives way to a great start in May. | ||
| 7 | DH Gary Sheffield, DET | .333-3-7-6-2 |
| You knew he wouldn't stay quiet -- as long as he's healthy. | ||
| 8 | RF Vladimir Guerrero, LAA | .375-2-9-3-0 |
| Protection or not, Vladdy is showing he shouldn't have slipped. | ||
| 9 | SS Jhonny Peralta, CLE | .345-2-8-6-0 |
| Ouch. Rejuvenated shortstop whips right past Greene/Crosby. | ||
| 10 | OF Josh Hamilton, CIN | .429-2-4-7-1 |
| Yet another player we missed the boat going into this spring. | ||
| Honorable mentions: SS Jimmy Rollins, PHI; LF Hideki Matsui, NYY; LF Adam Dunn, CIN; 1B Todd Helton, COL; 2B Orlando Hudson, ARI; 1B Mark Teixeira, TEX; 3B Chipper Jones, ATL; 1B Derrek Lee, CHC; SS Jose Reyes, NYM; OF Alfonso Soriano, CHC; LF Josh Willingham, FLA; LF Matt Holliday, COL; OF Eric Byrnes, ARI; CF Torii Hunter, MIN; C Victor Martinez, CLE; RF Trot Nixon, CLE; LF Barry Bonds, SF; 2B Brian Roberts, BAL; CF Carlos Beltran, NYM. | ||
| Top 10 Pitchers | |||
| Position, player, team | Last week's Rotisserie stats | ||
| 1 | SP Jeff Suppan, MIL | 2 W, 1.84 ERA, 10 Ks, 1.296 WHIP, 0 SV | |
| A rare free-agent signee who actually improves after big contract? | |||
| 2 | SP Bronson Arroyo, CIN | 2-2.84-12-1.105-0 | |
| Winless April gives way to a couple of wins to start off May. | |||
| 3 | SP C.C. Sabathia, CLE | 2-4.15-18-1.077-0 | |
| Big man still undefeated for much-improved Indians. | |||
| 4 | SP Jake Peavy, SD | 1-1.93-20-0.786-0 | |
| Look out, after disappointing 2006, this could be his Cy year. | |||
| 5 | SP Cole Hamels, PHI | 2-4.40-15-1.535-0 | |
| Hasn't really pitched great since 15-K game, but he's winning. | |||
| 6 | RP Todd Jones, DET | 0-2.25-5-0.500-4 | |
| We're really laughing now how he was drafted after Joel Zumaya. | |||
| 7 | RP Ryan Dempster, CHC | 1-2.08-5-1.154-3 | |
| Another one who's paying big-time dividends out of late rounds. | |||
| 8 | SP Noah Lowry, SF | 2-3.09-11-1.286-0 | |
| Other young Giants arms get more pub, but he just gets it done. | |||
| 9 | RP Trevor Hoffman, SD | 0-0.00-4-0.333-3 | |
| Coming off awful week, but you didn't lose faith in him did you? | |||
| 10 | SP Chris Young, SD | 1-0.00-8-0.750-0 | |
| Third-year SP has had two bad outings, but three great ones. | |||
| Honorable mentions: RP Brian Fuentes, COL; SP Curt Schilling, BOS; SP John Lackey, LAA; RP J.J. Putz, SEA; RP Henry Owens, FLA; RP Carlos Villanueva, MIL; SP Livan Hernandez, ARI; SP Ben Sheets, MIL; SP Derek Lowe, LAD; SP Jason Marquis, CHC; SP Chien-Ming Wang, NYY; SP Oliver Perez, NYM; SP Phil Hughes, NYY; SP Gil Meche, KC; SP John Smoltz, ATL; RP Chad Paronto, ATL; SP Roy Oswalt, HOU; SP James Shields, TB; SP Josh Beckett, BOS; RP Huston Street, OAK. | |||
