Fantasy Analysis
Wieters had gone 0 for 12 in his previous four games so it was great to see him connect on Sunday again. He's having a superb season with eight homers, 20 RBI and a .274 average. He's among the best offensive catchers in baseball and should be active in just about all mixed Fantasy leagues. (Updated 05/13/2012).

05/18/2012 22:57 Markakis' HR in 11th wins it for Orioles
Nick Markakis homered into the second deck in right field to give the Baltimore Orioles a 2-1 win in 11 innings over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
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)
