Vogelsong solid in win: Giants starting pitcher Ryan Vogelsong did not have hit best stuff on Thursday against the Marlins, as he gave up an early home run to Giancarlo Stanton and was pulled with a pair of base runners left on in the bottom of the seventh inning, however he managed to pick up the win and post his seventh quality start in eight outings, as the Giants took down the Marlins, 14-7. Two of the three earned runs he allowed in the game came after he was pulled, as both inherited runners left to the bullpen scored. He finished with seven hits and three walks allowed 6 1/3 innings, while striking out four. His record on the season stands at 3-2 now. (Updated 05/24/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Vogelsong has surprisingly managed to sustain his breakout performance from last season, lowering his ERA this year to 2.50 through 54 innings. Vogelsong has a slightly lower strikeout rate than last season, while walking a few more batters per nine innings, however he is still doing a great job of keeping the ball in the yard and limiting extra-base hits, with just 10 allowed on the season, which helps keep his ERA down. He is set to face the Diamondbacks in his next start, on Tuesday during Week 9 (May 28-June 3), a team he limited to just five earned runs in 19 1/3 innings last season, so continue to consider him a viable starting option in most mixed leagues.

Ryan Vogelsong was about as unlikely a pitcher to make an All-Star squad last season as you could imagine, but he found his way to the Midsummer Classic, courtesy of a 6-1 record and 2.17 ERA at the break. The 34-year-old journeyman returned from a five-year hiatus from the majors to become a staple of standard mixed leagues in 2011. He slumped down the stretch, though he still finished with a 13-7 record and a 2.71 ERA for the season. Vogelsong had been homer-prone and wild in his first go-around in the big leagues, but he reversed those trends for most of his comeback season. He showed enough improvement that he can still be trusted in standard mixed leagues for 2012, but owners should not expect a repeat of his sub-3.50 ERA or the 81 percent strand rate that helped produce it. Vogelsong should be just good enough to merit a pick in the later rounds of standard mixed league drafts. (Updated 1/5/12)
