Daily Leaders 5/12/11

Bats

1.  Carlos Beltran (NYM), 3 for 5, 3 HR, 6 RBI, 3 R.  Two of Chuckie Cheese’s three bombs came from the left (read: weak) side.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is, it’s not 2004 anymore.  

2.  Martin Prado (ATL), 2 for 4, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R.  With multiple hits in three straight games and a knock in 14 of his last 15, perhaps Prado is coming around.  And he’d better.  I have enough .270 hitters with warning track power and no speed on my teams. 

3.  Eric Hosmer (KC), 3 for 5, HR, 2B, 2 RBI, R.  If you missed the Eric Hosmer Train, don’t worry.  I picked him up in my H2H points league, so he should be back in Omaha by July. 

4.  Jon Jay (STL), 3 for 6, 2B, 3 RBI, R.  Apparently, you can throw anyone in that Cardinals line up and they’ll do work.  Shit, you could bat The Guru seventh and even he’d drive in four and steal a base.  I could do La Russa’s job. 

5. Asdrubal Cabrera (CLE), 2 for 3, HR, 3B, RBI, 2 R.  Personally, I need that average to creep up a little bit, especially since it feels like he’s running less this year.  But what do you expect from a guy named Ass Dribble.

Arms

1.  Jordan Zimmerman (WAS), 6.1 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 11K, ND.  Yep, nothing quite like coming to the computer and seeing 11 strikeouts on a slow Thursday in an NL Only League.  It’s an owner’s absolute dream.  Come to think of it, so is… 

2.  Jaime Garcia (STL), 7 IP, 9 H, ER, BB, 4 K, W.  Not as dominating as his last performance but certainly helped the ole ERA.  The only thing that could top those two would be… 

3.  Matt Cain (SF), 7.2 IP, 7 H, 2 ER, BB, 7 K, W.  And Matty Cain checks in with his best start of the year for good measure.  At this point, I’m just blatantly rosterbating in your face.  Thanks for reading.

 4.  ^Zach Britton (BAL), 9 IP, 3 H, 5 K.  C’mon Buck, what the hell’s going on down there?  You’ve got a kid throwing nine innings of three-hit ball and you can’t get him a W?  It’s not like Seattle had Cy Young going… 

5.  Jason Vargas (SEA), 9 IP, 7 H, BB, 4 K.  Oh.  Well, shit.
