With Ian Desmond dealing with an oblique injury, Danny Espinosa picked up his fifth game at shortstop, and with it, eligibility at the position in many leagues. He has a career high .244 batting average – nearly the league average this season – and adds decent power (eight homers) and great speed (14 steals).
Jhonny Peralta is on fire over his last five games, batting 9-for-20 (.450) with two home runs, seven RBI and three runs scored. Particularly since June, Peralta has been rediscovering what made him so good last season.

It's a common truism in sports: you don't win a game in the first quarter, but you can lose one. We're almost at the end of the first quarter for the 2012 MLB season. Sitting in first place? Don't get cocky. We've got a long way to go.
So far so good for most of my teams – all but two of my nine money league teams sit in the top half of their leagues. The two that don't? Albert Pujols was the first (or most expensive, in the auction) pick. For all you Pujols owners out there, I feel your pain.
