There is no truth to the rumor that Elvis Andrus stole his entire playing career from "Fats" Domingo, "Ivory" Roberto Kelly or Nate King Colbert. Elvis hits the covers off the ball better than Cam "Carl" Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis Brinson. It is not Elvis' fault that the way he plays the bat is seen as an appropriation of a top shortstop of yesteryear. He's got the chops to knock down that axe! (All guitar knowledge I possess was used in that nine word sentence.) Yesterday, Elvis Andrus had the best game of an already great season, going 3-for-4, 3 runs, 4 RBIs with his 8th and 9th homers.

Love me sweet! Never let me go! Well, not so fast there. If I thought you could actually get value for Andrus in a trade, I could see it since he's likely at his peak value. Unfortunately, there's little chance you'd get back in a trade anything resembling Andrus' value, so I'd Bubba hold Tep. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
