Well, you missed his five-homer, 16 RBI, .324 July. You also missed his homer binge last week when he went yard in three consecutive games. Willingham is up to 19 homers and 66 RBI in 340 at-bats for the season. Yes, he’s somewhat good, but few are capitalizing on it.

We’re getting into crunch time in Fantasy Leagues, and with trade deadlines fast approaching, it’s time to pull out all the stops. The marathon has turned into a sprint, giving you one last serious opportunity to address your Fantasy squads’ needs through the trade venue. Get it done. Repeat after me, “Would have, could have, and should have” will not be part of any end of the year discussions concerning my Fantasy teams. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of this week’s wire options that could augment those deadline trade moves.

The Rays are going with a six-man rotation for now with Cobb being the beneficiary of this change. In 35 IP with Tampa Bay, he’s allowed 29 hits and 16 walks with 22 strikeouts and is sporting a solid 3.09 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. In his past four starts, Cobb has given up only five earned runs. Now that his playing time is secure — at least for the time being — he makes for a solid play in all formats.

On July 2, Holland was pounded by the Marlins and was unable to get out of the first inning. What does he do to follow up that stinker? Holland goes out and tosses not one, but two complete game shutouts and strikes out 15 in the process. He’s been wildly inconsistent, but when he’s been on, he’s been very good. The 24-year-old southpaw has all the tools to be successful, he simply has to demonstrate them on a more consistent basis. We’re betting we see the stud starter and not his evil twin more often than not in the future.

The 24-year-old has been an offensive force for the Tigers in 2011 and is currently ranked in the top 10 in every offensive category at his position including RBI, in which he has an outstanding 46. Not bad for a catcher that was owned in less than 10 per cent of CBS leagues at the end of Week One.
