This man is on fire!! He is carrying my team right now. As DelGado continues to hit below .100 this period.

He is incredible this season at 32-years old! Just starting from where he left off from the post-season last year. He has gone for an average of.421, with 4HR in his last 19AB.

In comparison, Carlos Delgado, has batted for an average of .071 in his last 14AB. Those aren't impressive numbers for someone with MVP potential.

Time to trade Dye then and start Delgado...law of averages tell you Carlos is due and Dye is done... ...Its a math puzzle, this Fantasy Game...

[ThePundit]

Another dinger for my man "Jerry."

...And another........ ...If Dye was a video game, there would be flames coming out of him.

I remember when players who were on a "hot streak" would fire up in Midway's MLB Slugfest. In fact, they were suppose to come about with a version for this year. Unfortunately, it was never released (or not in my area).

In response, Jermaine Dye is having an MVP-like season. He has batted for a .500 average with 2 homeruns in his last 10 at-bats. Those are incredible statistics for any player. If he keeps this pace up, he might even make his way into the Hall of Fame.

And again!!!!!!!! This man is carrying my whole offense. The Braves traded this guy for Michael Tucker.

That was almost ten years ago, ThePundit. Also, that was following Dye's rookie season where he hit 12 homers and only 37 RBIs. But since then, he has involved into a team leader and an All-Star. He has an interesting career.

According to ESPN.Com, Jermaine Dye, is owned in 100% of all fantasy leagues with an average of being picked #153 in full leagues, or 68 in AL-only leagues. That isn't a great draft number, but at least he is on the team. Shall we call him, "a late-draft stud"?

[ThePundit]

Yes. Its those late picks that end up doing well that usually make the difference. We got Alex Rios real late also. Not that we had a crystal ball. It all comes down to luck.

Alex Rios is another late-round bloomer who has made an immediate impact on the game of baseball. Of course, his impact does not compare to those of Jermaine Dye, but it is a significant amount.

Below are a list of some other late-round gems who turned out to be diamonds once they made their way to the big leagues:

• Kenny Rogers
• Jeff Conine
• Mike Piazza
• Jorge Posada
• Andy Pettite
• Jason Isringhausen
• Richie Sexson
• Paul Lo Duca
• Julio Lugo
• Kyle Farnsworth
• Roy Oswalt
• Marcus Giles
• Scot Shields
• Orlando Hudson
• Mark Buehrle
