NL ADP Review--March 16
Last week we spotlighted some of the more noteworthy position battles this spring, and this week we’re going to take a look at a few more that will be worth keeping an eye on especially as late-round draftees/flyers.

| We continue on with more interleague matchups and not a whole lot of great options as far as two-start pitchers go. However, there are some interesting matchups this week. We will see how rookie phenom Tommy Hanson fares against the big boys in the Yankess and Red Sox.
We're going to change it up a little this week and do injury notes instead of best matchups since there is little history upon which to base them in interleague play.

He has lowered his ERA to 3.89 on the season and is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA over his last three starts. He looks to be striking out hitters at a little bit higher rate as well. Cahill will take on the third worst offense in the NL, the Giants, on Wed. 6/24. Jose Contreras (CHW)- Contreras has been down right filthy in his last three starts since being recalled from Triple-A. Whatever he did down there seems to be working, as he looks like the old Contreras. He is 2-1 with a 1.23 ERA over his last three starts. The Dodgers come to U.S. Cellular Field on Thur. 6/25 and could be running into a buzzsaw. Brett Cecil (TOR)- The Jays' best pitching prospect is back up with the club now that Roy Halladay landed on the DL. It was really a mystery why Cecil was sent down in the first place. He pitched great for three or four games and had one bad outing. He is the real deal. On Fri. 6/26, Cecil will face a Phillies team that the Jays have handled this year. It also helps that he will not have to face Raul Ibanez. Pitchers That Are HOT (Last Three Starts)
Pitchers That Are COLD (Last Three Starts)
Injury Updates Erik Bedard (SEA)- Bedard won't be ready to come off the DL on Tuesday, when he is eligible. He will likely miss at least another week with shoulder stiffness, but the Mariners are confident that he will return at full strength. He could be ready to start on June 30. Roy Halladay (TOR)- Halladay (groin) was able to play catch on Saturday and should be ready to return on June 28 when eligible. John Maine (NYM)- Maine (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Monday at High-A St. Lucie and will likely need at least two starts before returning to the Mets' rotation. John Smoltz (BOS)- Smoltz completed his final rehab assignment and will likely make his first start of the season on Thursday. He will undoubtedly be on a pitch count. Kevin Slowey (MIN)- Slowey felt some tightness in his rib cage after his last start and will likely have his next start pushed back at least a day. The Twins believe that the injury is nothing serious. Brandon Webb (ARI)- Webb is scheduled for another MRI as his shoulder bursitis continues to be a problem. It is a mystery whether Webb will be able to pitch at all this season. Edinson Volquez (CIN)- Volquez (elbow tendinitis) played some long toss this week and is scheduled to begin throwing from 125 ft. and some off the mound. It will likely be at least three weeks before he can return to action. Scott Kazmir (TB)- Kazmir went 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his first rehab start at Class A. Kazmir is scheduled to make another rehab start on Monday and if all goes well, he could return to the team at the end of the week. Oliver Perez (NYM)- Perez is scheduled to make a rehab start on Monday but is still likely a couple weeks away from returning to the Mets. Kyle Lohse (STL)- Lohse (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday and if all goes well, will begin a rehab assignment but remains weeks away from returning.
