05/13/2012 20:18 Hit Parade for Week 7
As interleague play gets under way there are many matchups to break down. Our Scott White tells you who the best bets and biggest risks are in his Hit Parade for Week 7.
After 2 1/2 years of inconsistent lineup spots, questionable platoon roles and angry dads on message boards, Colby Rasmus finally got out from underneath Tony La Russa's thumb in St. Louis with a midseason trade to Toronto last year. He promptly hit .173 in 133 at-bats with the Blue Jays. His problems are the same as always: He strikes out too much, and he struggles against left-handed pitchers. And then there's the general inconsistency. Each of the last two Aprils, he's made his Fantasy owners think, "This is it. This is when he finally lives up to all the potential he showed in the minors. I'm a drafting genius!" But come June 1, those same owners are scrambling to the waiver wire to find a replacement for the player whose stats have quickly regressed to the mean. At age 25, Rasmus still has time to live up to that potential he showed in the minors and the change of scenery should help, especially now that he's had an offseason to recover from the wrist injury that plagued him at the end of last year. But given his slow progression, he'll likely slide to the late rounds in mixed leagues. (Updated 2/13/12)
