Prospect Report: Does Texas Rangers’ Justin Smoak Have Fantasy Value in 2010?

In one of the most anticipated roster moves of 2010, the Texas Rangers promoted highly-touted prospect Justin Smoak last Friday. In six games since being called up, the switch-hitting first baseman is 1-for-15 with two runs and one RBI. He does, however, have seven walks.

Despite Smoak’s rough start, fantasy owners should take notice of the 23-year-old’s promotion.

At three different levels in 2009, Smoak hit .290/.410/.443 with 12 HRs and 57 RBI…

HITTERS

Hitter of the day: Cliff Pennington (4-for-5, R, HR, 4 RBI)

Batting leadoff for just the third time this season, Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington recorded his first career four-hit game Tuesday night against the Rays.

After a weekend break, Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight is back with everything you need to know from Monday night’s action. Game No. 18 of 162 featured two of the hardest throwing young arms in the game: Mat Latos and Josh Johnson.

Game No. 18 – San Diego Padres vs. Florida Marlins

Josh Johnson threw a complete game three-hitter against the Padres Monday night, allowing just one run (a sac fly in the eighth) on 117 pitches. The 6-foot-7 right-hander also struck out 12 batters, while issuing just one free pass.

Fantasy Baseball Insiders Tonight 4/20: Giants’ Pitcher Jonathan Sanchez Allows One Run, K’s 10 in Loss

Game No. 17 of 162 in Fantasy Baseball Insiders’ summer-long journey featured a revived Jose Reyes, and an impressive pitching performance this week’s hottest pickup.

Game No. 17 – Chicago Cubs vs. New York Mets

Jose Reyes had his best game of the young season Tuesday night against the Cubs, going 4-for-5 with a stolen base and two RBI. Two of his hits were bloop singles, while another was a hard-hit grounder up the middle. He made the most noise, however, with a two-run triple in the second, a well-hit ball that split the gap in left-center.

Ticket Liquidator

Interest is peaking among those who seek cheap tickets to MLB games, especially the stadiums that fill up fast and sell out quick like Fenway Park seats, cheap Yankees baseball games and the big one in July; the 2011 MLB All-Star Game in Phoenix. Before that, though, don't forget to check out these seats at the College World Series 2011. As we head into spring, there are other sports hitting their high notes, including cheap games at the NBA finals, action in the octagon at a MMA Fight Night and other fight tickets including the 2011 boxing schedule.
