Last week I didn’t get a chance to compile my weekly ratings until Thursday, so we’re operating on a four-day week. Even though a couple guys on this list didn’t get a chance to make a start, most of them did and it was enough to drastically shuffle up some portions of the rankings.

May 4: Furcal Likely to DL, Angels Make Lineup Switch, and Rehabbing Reliever Gets Rocked
It’s starting to get really hot around the country, so hopefully some cold bats will heat up as well (Aramis Ramirez). Until then, here are your Fantasy Headlines for Tuesday, May 4.
Mound Visit – SP Top 50, Week 4
Ubaldo Jimenez isn’t the only young starter trending up. Jeff Niemann and Clay Buchholz both jumped at least five spots, and two of Niemann’s teammates, David Price and Matt Garza, continued their weekly ascent, moving up one spot apiece. However, if youth isn’t this week’s main storyline, then injuries certainly are.
Mound Visit – SP Top 50, Week 2
Unlike David Ortiz-haters, I refuse to draw conclusions from the first week play. If week one trends continue for another week, then we’ll start to see some people moving around. Despite some stellar performances from players knocking on the door of the top 50, there were no major injuries to any of the guys ranked last week.
Deviation From Career Norms: Starting Pitcher
Today I will be concluding the series by taking an in depth look at starting pitchers, identifying some of these pitchers who “threw a curveball” last season and produced stat lines out of the ordinary. What can we expect from the likes of Javier Vazquez, Matt Cain, and Derek Lowe in 2010?
Javier Vazquez to New York… Again
Expect a very similar second stint in New York for Javier Vazquez. Simple statistics show he will be a serviceable fourth starter but not much else.
