Big Brown wasn't the only Triple Crown contender to go down this weekend.
Josh Hamilton: After racking up 17-69-.315 numbers in 63 games, Superman finally has succumbed to Kryptonite, in the form of a viral infection. Hamilton missed Sunday and with the Rangers off on Monday, they're hoping to have him back Tuesday night. This is probably a blip, but in daily leagues, keep tabs on his status just in case.
Lance Berkman: No injury news to report, but Berkman smacked his 18th home run and upped his RBI total to 51 with 3 RBI. But after a second consecutive 1-for-4 day, Berkman's average is down to .372. (Berkman owners, we will give you no pity).
Joe Crede: Is there anyone swinging a hotter stick than Crede? The White Sox 3B hits .750 (3 for 4) with 4 HR and 10 RBI in a three-game sweep over the Twinkies.
Milton Bradley: What, no home run Sunday? Now hitting 14-43-.340. If anyone is wondering...yes, Bradley is a prime sell-high candidate.
Justin Masterson: After Sunday's 3-hit, 1-run gem over 6 innings, the Red Sox will likely be giving Clay Buchholz more AAA leash to figure things out. Bartolo Colon better get his act together or he may be the odd-man out once Dice-K comes back.
Jose Reyes: With 2 SB Sunday, Reyes has quietly climbed to 23 on the stolen base meter after a slow start. Add in his 8 HR, 29 RBI, 42 runs and .286 average and suddenly, he looks like a first-rounder again. Probably too late to buy low.
Kerry Wood: Seems like somebody before the season was predicting this: 18 saves, 2.62 ERA, 0.82 WHIP. Wood has now saved eight in a row and hasn't allowed a run in that span. OK, I'll confess it was me who was touting Wood. And yes, I traded him away in the second week of the season.
