It’s about that time of the season when this year’s surprises are all gobbled up and the waiver wire looks like a collection of has-beens and big-time busts. But that doesn’t stop injuries or terrible performances from happening. So if you own Carlos Zambrano or are growing tired of Randy Johnson’s bloated ERA, chances are you’ve been scouring over the waiver wire for some help.

You can find the answer to your problems (for now) from an unlikely source: 44-year-old Kenny Rogers. Don’t be fooled by his 4.36 season ERA. A month ago, his ERA was a whopping 6.66 (no, that’s not a typo). But since May 26, the Tigers’ southpaw has rediscovered his control and put together an impressive collection of starts.

In 36 innings, he’s given up just four earned runs. That’s good for a microscopic 1.00 ERA for a month straight, a figure not even MLB ERA leader Edinson Volquez can boast. Amazingly, he’s only collected one win over the resurgence, but that tough luck is bound to improve especially since the Tigers are starting to look like the team everyone thought they would be in April.

Although Rogers is bound to come back to earth eventually, his recent performance is impossible to ignore. Its worth it to ride him while he’s hot.
