Pittsburgh Pirates 3B Andy LaRoche went 2 for 3 on Sunday against a red hot SP Johnny Cueto of the Reds.
Our instinct: Laroche is hitting .250 after starting off the season horribly. He hasn’t hit a home run yet and is a pretty lousy option at 3B right now, but there is signs of life there.
Pittsburgh Pirates RP Evan Meek allowed his 1st hit of the season on Sunday vs the Reds.
Our instinct: Meek hasn’t allowed a run in his 5.2 innings pitched, however the 6 walks vs 4 k’s isn’t pretty. There’s no reason he should be on any fantasy roster right now.
Pittsburgh Pirates OF Nate McLouth went 5 for 13 over the weekend against the Reds.
Our instinct: It’s good to see that McLouth didn’t need a trip to the DL. Get him back into your lineup if you have not already done so – though keep in mind Yovani Gallardo has struck him out 5 out 10 times.
Pittsburgh Pirates Of Nyjer Morgan had 4 hits this weekend against the Reds.
Our instinct: Morgan hasn’t stole a base since April 22nd, but he is still hitting pretty well. He has a career .310 average vs the Brewers, but doesn’t do well against Yovani Gallardo at all. Keep that in mind.
