Wieters homers for third straight: Baltimore catcher Matt Wieters has gone deep in three straight contests for the Orioles after his 2-for-4 performance against the Rays on Wednesday. His two-run shot off Matt Moore in the eighth inning gave the O's some breathing room as they beat the Rays, 6-2. Wieters also had a double in the game. (Updated 09/14/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Wieters has gone 4 for 11 (.364) over his last three games, collecting five RBI along the way. He had gone 0 for 15 in his previous four games, so this is definitely a good sign for Fantasy owners and Baltimore fans. He has 20 homers and 63 RBI on the year, which makes him a viable catching option in all mixed leagues. Continue to view him as such the remainder of the season. (Updated 09/14/2011).

It's time for owners to start looking ahead to Draft Day. We get you off and running with our 12-team Rotisserie mock draft. Check out the results!
In his first two seasons with the Orioles, Matt Wieters had only shown glimpses of being the hitter he was in his minor league career. Last year, in his third season, the Wieters Fantasy owners had patiently waited for had finally arrived. The 25-year-old catcher cracked 22 home runs, 12 of which came during the season's final two months. Wieters cut back on his strikeouts later in the season, and in addition to connecting more often for homers he also walked more frequently. He has already proven he is durable, so owners should plan on getting plenty of at-bats from Wieters. Now that his power and on-base skills are developing, owners should view Wieters as a solid No. 1 catching option for mixed leagues. (Updated 2/8/12)
