Week 8 seen several more players hit the DL with owners losing speedster Emilio Bonifacio (thumb), Lance Berkman (knee) for the second time and masher Allen Craig (hamstring). Here's a look ahead as possible replacements for fantasy owners week 9.
Alfonso Soriano CHI OF
Always a streaky hitter and now is a good time to ride the good version of Soriano. Through 15 May games the Cubs left fielder has hit .310 (18/58) with 3 HR and 11 RBI.
Week 9: 6 games @HOU @PIT
Elliot Johnson TB 2B, SS
Another Swiss army knife type of player. Joe Maddon has already played Johnson at 2B, SS, 3B and OF. He has produced too, going 14/32 (.438) with 1 HR 5 RBI and 3 steals in 5 attempts over his past 10 games.
Week 9: 6 games VS TOR @ BOS
Rajai Davis TOR OF
Since the demotion of Adam Lind, the former 50 steal Davis has drawn 3 starts for Toronto.He's never had more than 5 HR in a season so don't look for many more 2 HR games like the one he had Friday vs the Mets. But Bonifacio owners may look for him a SB replacement. He's already stolen 3 bases the past week and has posted 20 + SB the past 5 seasons.
Week 9: 6 games vs TB @ TEX
Mitch Moreland TEX 1B/OF
Look for a good week to get Moreland into your lineups this week. The Rangers face 6 right handed pitchers this week and Moreland generally draws starts in those games. For the season he has 5 HR 14 RBI and a .303 average vs right handed pitching.
Week 9 : 6 games @ SEA vs TOR
Erick Aybar ANA SS
Likely most owners ditched Aybar after hitting .221 with only runs scored through his first 38 games played. But in the past week Aybar is 7/21 with 2 stolen bases. Coming off a 30 steal season those looking for steals may want to give the Angels SS a look this week.
Week 9: 6 games @OAK @SEA
