Bats
1. Justin Morneau, MIN; 2 for 4, 2 HR, 3 RBI, BB, 3 R: A few weeks back we wondered how often Morneau would appear in this space. A few more days like today, and he'll be right back where he belongs. Which is...uh...here, I suppose.
2. Curtis Granderson, NYY; 3 for 5, HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, SB: God bless you, Curtis. God bless you and your family.
3. ^Danny Espinosa, WAS; 3 for 4, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R: Hitting just above his weight, Espinosa remains an enigma as we enter June. His power numbers are there, but he's a real drain on roto teams with that unsightly batting average.
4. Yunel Escobar, TOR; 2 for 2, HR, RBI, 3 BB, R: Working on a 12 game hitting streak, Yunel is a shortstop that needs to be owned.
5. Corey Hart, MIL; 2 for 4, HR, 4 RBI, BB, R: Fuck you, Corey Hart.
Arms
1. Jeremy Guthrie, BAL; 8 IP, 5 H, BB, 9 K, L: Not many guys will show up on this list on a day they're on the hook for a loss, but we'll make an exception here. That's only because it's even rarer to find a guy who gets a loss without allowing an earned run.
2. Ted Lilly, LAD; 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 8 K, W: It was his first win since May 10, but Teddy certainly earned it in emphatic fashion. His high ERA is excused by his low WHIP, but it would be nice to see a few more of these high K games.
3. Anibal Sanchez, FLA; 8 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, BB, 8 K, W: Let the dick riding continue.
4. C.J. Wilson, TEX; 6.2 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 10 K: Tough one, giving up 3 runs on just 3 hits, but the little lefty's K:BB ratio was really impressive in May. You can pretty much tell if C.J. got a positive decision just by looking at his walk numbers on a given night.
5. R.A. Dickey, NYM; 7.2 5 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, L: Alright, if we got one guy on here with an L, why not the knuckleballer? He struck out more guys yesterday than he did in his last three starts combined, so there must have been no humidity and just a slight wind out in Flushing last nigh.
