Wednesday's Roto Round Up: David Ortiz Homers! Jose Reyes Aggravates Calf Injury
Wednesday's roto roundup is highlighted by 5 more HRs hit at the new Yankee Stadium.
OF, Chris Young, ARI-Young got the start in the 1st game of teh Diamondbacks doubleheader and took the Golden Sombrero, striking out 4 times in 4 ABs. Earth to AJ Hinch-send CY down to AAA so he can work on his swing and gain back some confidence.
3B, Mark Reynolds, ARI-Reynolds went all Carl Crawford on the Marlins in the 1st game of the double dip, stealing 4 bases, giving him 8 on the season. In the 2nd game of the DH, he hit 2 HRs. He now has 11 HRs on the season. Could he go 30-20?? Of course he will. I didn't give him a raise in UBA-consider it done!!
OF, Justin Upton, ARI-Upton hit 2 3-run HRs in the 2nd game of the double dip with the Marlins. Yes, Upton has arrived at the young age of 21. He now is hitting 9-26-.313-.385-.626-1.011.
SP, Chris Carpenter, STL-Carpenter returned from the DL and pitched 5 shutout innings, allowing 3 hits, 2 BBs, and striking out 4. You can get him in your lineup if you haven't done so already.
SS, Stephen Drew, ARI-Hinch, again, batted Drew cleanup in both games of the DH in Florida. Drew should see alot more RBI opportunities.
SP, Phil Hughes, NYY-Hughes pitched well enough to retain his spot in the rotation, striking out 9 and walking only 1 on 5 innings vs the Orioles. He did give up 2 HRs though, but he should get used to that pitching at Yankee Stadium.
2B, Robinson Cano, NYY-Cano hit his 7th HR and drove in 3 runs. He now has driven in 22 this season, and is hitting over .300. I guess 2008 was an aberration for Cano.
DH, David Ortiz, BOS-Ortiz finally hit his first HR of the season. It took him 149 ABs. Maybe Francona was right, he could get hot.
SS, Jose Reyes, NYM-Reyes aggravated his calf injury and was pulled out of the Dodgers-Mets game in the bottom of the 3rd inning. A DL stint is possible. Metfans can only hope that Ramon Martinez is not his replacement at SS.

Lou Gehrig said he knew it was time to hang it up when he made a routine play at first base and was congratulated by his teammates…I thought of that while watching the highlights of the Ortiz HR. A fifth inning HR against a pitcher making his 4th major league start doesn’t deserve two points to the sky, hugs and the silent treatment in the dugout.
