Soriano, Utley bolster fantasy lineups

Monday, August 27, 2007 | Feedback | Print Entry

It's like a Christmas present, owning both Alfonso Soriano and Chase Utley on the same fantasy baseball team, and knowing that each will be back in the lineup for their teams' first games of the week. They are healthy. They are really good. They are, and should remain, productive. And you can finally part ways with the players you had to fill in with.

While I've made it clear over the past month that I think fantasy owners are hurt more when a pitcher the caliber of Cole Hamels is hurt, or a closer just disappears (more on Bob Wickman later), Soriano and Utley are first-round talents who put up stats across the board. We welcome them back.

How will their teams welcome them back, and what numbers do I expect from these guys?
