Andy Phillips

Andy PHillips has been en fuego over the past seven games, all starts. He is 14-30 with 3 HR and 11 RBIs.

This will usher in regular ABs at 1B while Jason Giambi acclimates to full-time DH status.

Defensively, Phillips provides more than Giambi, and this gets him some slack if his bat cools which I believe it will. With only 4 walks versus 18 ks over 84 ABs, he is bound to run into a string of 0-fers.

That said, he should be a good player to have as one of the last few spots on your roster in AL-only formats.

At 29 years-old, though, his longer-term value is limited.
