The Day in Review

We're heading into the last day of the week in your H2H leagues, so hopefully you are looking strong--I'm thoroughly beating Pete, and wanted to throw that in since I got to review the day. Manny Parra users got a good outing, and since he plays the Mets next you may want to trade him since he'll likely lose his spot when Gallardo returns later this month.

Injuries

• Lance Berkman was pulled because of neck spasms, and is likely to miss tomorrow. It doesn't sound like an injury that could lead to a DL stint, so don't worry. In shallow leagues, Mike Jacobs might be around still and has been hitting the ball hard.
• Gary Sheffield won't hit the DL, but is going to wear a splint for six weeks. He reported that it won't affect his swing, but I bet he won't be pushing for ill-advised doubles or stealing bases till June.
• Lidge was back today, but wasn't needed. B.J. Ryan should be back soon, although Accardo has been strong so the Blue Jays shouldn't rush him back.

Performance

• Morneau and Lee both hit homers today, but it took nearly a month longer for Lee to get that second homer last year. I wrote here awhile ago that Lee's second half stats pointed to a better player than Morneau might be (given an awful Post-All Star line for the Twin), and I'm sticking to my guns.
• Michael Bourne had his fourth steal of the season, putting him on pace for one hundred. That's not going to happen, but 50+ is looking like a given.
• Buchholz may be a bit overrated, but his outing today wasn't to bad against a surprisingly hot Blue Jays offense. Don't be alarmed. 
• Best players on Tigers offense by week two: Brandon Inge and Clete Thomas. While the Tigers offense will definitely improve, they won't be the Yankees of last year.

That's what you need to know about the day.
