Fantasy Surprises End of Week 3

Wow, there are a couple of guys that have jumped up and surprised the fantasy baseball world. If they aren't picked up in your league, you better jump on them.

*Nate McClouth (Pirates) .384/3/15. Tack on 15 runs, 2 steals, a 16 game hit streak, and a league leading 10 doubles and this guy is suddenly a fantasy stud batting lead off for the Bucs. .384 can't keep up but it looks like McClouth is the real deal suddenly.

*Justin Upton (D-Backs) Look back and see that I said this guy is a must get as a potential break out superstar this season. .385/5/13 and he's off to a superstar start. His strikeouts are a bit of a concern, but this guy could hit over .300 and 30 this season. The D-Backs are loaded with young talent.

*Conner Jackson (D-Backs) .347/3/17. Conner Jackson is finally breaking out. I got to see him in the Futures Game in Detroit in 2005 and everyone expected him to break out right away. What I really love about him is only 3 strikeouts and 7 walks. Have I already mentioned the D-Backs are loaded?

*Yunel Escobar (Braves) .324/3/11 is off to the rookie start he was looking for. His strikeouts to walk ratio is staying in check at 10:10.
