Alex Gonzalez
Since joining the Atlanta Braves after an All-Star Break trade, Gonzalez has hit well. The shortstop doubled in his first game with his new team and has batted .333 since his transfer. Gonzalez is looking more and more like a must-start option in mixed leagues. Add the shortstop and look for his stats to improve as he tries to cement himself within a new lineup.
Aramis Ramirez
Ramirez is finally looking like the perennial fantasy stud he is. Over the past week he has hit .448 with five RBI's and four runs scored. His dramatic turn around has him looking like a viable option in all mixed formats. Ramirez has not yet regained must-start status but he is well on his way. Look for the Cubs star to have a stellar second half as he builds on his recent streak.
Johnny Damon
The Tigers outfielder has finally regained his stroke. Damon may be batting just .280 on the season, but since the All-Star break he is hitting .500. Damon looks primed for a second half streak. He has hit half of his home runs over the past 10 games while adding one fourth of his 2010 RBI's Damon could progress to his career mean with a hot second half, making up for his dismal performance in the first half of the season.
