Two weeks into the Derby and someone’s made a statement. Triple Crown has jumped out to a 5-HR lead over a gigantic 25-team logjam vying for second place. The rain in the Northeast kinda muddled things up yesterday with five postponements.
Stud of the Week – Carlos Lee (3 HR): This was a tough choice with a bunch of other Derby players also hitting three Home Runs this week, but El Caballo hit all three Friday night to propel the ‘Stros to a win. He also hit for average this week, sporting a nice .389 for the Astros.
Hot Sluggers
- Ian Kinsler (4 HR): Too bad no one took Kinsler in the Derby
- Alex Rodriguez (3 HR): Mr April contiues his hot streak
- Chipper Jones (3 HR): So much for being injured in Spring
- Andruw Jones (3 HR): Is there something in the water in Atlanta?
Cold Sluggers
- Mark Teixeira (0 HR): Off to another slow start. One extra-base hit this season
- Ryan Howard (1 HR): 16 Walks so far. Houston intentionally walked him 3 times on Saturday
- Bill Hall (0 HR):Â The move to CF has not been kind.
- Derrek Lee (0 HR): Just can’t seem to make runs by himself
- David Wright (0 HR): He’s got an 11 game hit streak, but no Homers
Injury Watch

- Adam Dunn is questionable for tonight with back spasms and missed Sunday’s game
- Troy Glaus is questionable (he’s got a heel … AAAP) for the Boston series
