Mashing in San Diego: Will Venable
Adrian Gonzolez is the man in San Diego, however, Will Venable is on a tear and deserves a little of the lime light. This 26 year old outfielder has been putting on a show over the last couple of weeks.
In Venable's last 13 games, he has at least 1 RBI in 10 of them (this includes a game that he went 0/1 as a pinch hitter) - that is some nice consistency. In that stretch, he is hitting .325, with 19 RBI's, 5 HR, 9 Runs, and 1 SB. This guy is on fire!
He is owned in less then 10% of leagues. Most of that ownership came within the last week. He should be a decent play for deep leagues - at least until he comes back down to earth. Other formats need to evaluate how their OF is doing (example - now is not the time to keep dead weight - B.J. Upton was just dropped in my AL only league).
