The Temptation of Gregor Blanco

Gregor Blanco is hitting 5-1-7-2-.414 (12/29) over his last 7 games. This is nothing more than a player riding a hot streak but it is still very interesting to the savvy fantasy owner. Gregor knows the trend is his friend and if Blanco is actually seeing the ball well he'll probably have a couple 1-3 games before he totally cools off. Maybe he's the perfect guy to fill in for the ailing Justin Upton whose return I believe is just around the corner.

The Blanco Watch will serve as a benchmark for benchwarmers who go on streaks. Maybe we can get some data on this persistent fantasy question. When is the right time to add/drop streaky players?

Day 1: 1-4 1 Single, 1 Caught Stealing
Day 2: 3-5 (4-9) 3 Singles, 1 Stolen Base, 1 Run Scored
Day 3: 3-5 (7-14) 2 Singles, 1 Double, 1 Run Scored
Day 3 Note: Blanco has gotten hotter since we started the Blanco Watch.
