No mercy from Purcey

Blue Jays David Purcey had it purring against the Tigers. The Blue Jays rookie shutout what was supposed to be the best lineup in baseball for six innings, striking out four and giving up two hits in a 4-3 win. It's Purcey's second win in six starts.

David Eckstein produced three hits and scored a run. Vernon Wells knocked him in as part of a third inning grand clam.

Fantasy Impact: Purcey is intriguing. He produced pretty good minor league numbers but hasn't really put it together in MLB until now. He's going to have to show some consistency before he's worth picking up.

Eckstein is one of the worst fantasy middle infielders and likely available in most leagues. Wells has played well his year. It's too bad he's been injured so often that he's only produced 10 home runs.
