Monday Bulletpoints

Pretty depressing when there are only 4 games in a day.  Anyways, here's a quick rundown of Monday's fantasy relevant news:

• Johan Santana was once again victimized by poor Mets defense and hitting.  It's an absolute enigma as to why the Mets can rake for an entire week straight, then have Johan on the hill and look so terrible.  Derek Lowe definitely had something to do with that, though.  The sinker was on, and I didn't think the Mets would even score a run after watching their AB's through the first few frames.  Lowe deserves credit, and he's going to continue to pile up the fantasy points all year long.
  
• As aforementioned, Ryan Zimmerman's hit streak is now at 29.  He's showing no signs of slowing down, either.  
• Gavin Floyd's ERA has now ballooned to over 7 after his disastrous outing against the Indians tonight.  (5 IP, 14 H/BB, 8 ER)  I know he's young, but I don't see much there.  If you can't bring yourself to cut him yet, he needs to ride the bench until he can at least be serviceable out there.
• Asdrubal Cabrera was the beneficiary of Floyd's terribleness, going 2-4 and raising his average to .325.  Cabrera is a solid hitter, and should be able to hit above .300 for the season.  He should be owned in most formats by now.
• Alexi Ramirez  showed signs of life hitting out of the 9 hole, as he knocked in 2 RBI's. He only went 1-4, but was robbed by Mark DeRosa of a hit on a scorching line drive.  It's too early to give up on Alexi, even though Ozzie Guillen has.  
• Justin Upton upped his hit streak to 18 games and added a HR to boot.  He's showing why he's regarded as one of the best young talents in the game, and his breakout is eerily similar to the way his brother BJ broke out.  He's not going to continue at this pace all year, especially with the AVG, but he'll hit his fair share of bombs and give you some R and SB production, too.  
• On the other end of the spectrum, Chris Young still sucks.  Seriously, if you own this guy, do yourself a favor and drop him.  He's not going to "come around", he is what he is. 
• Adam Rosales continues to hit for the Reds, as he went 3-5 with a solo HR (2) on Monday.  It'll be interesting to see what Baker does with Rosales when Edwin Encarnacion comes back.
• Joey Votto continues to rake and is now hitting .381.  What a stud.  The Reds have one of the best compilations of young stars in the majors.
• Randy Johnson picked up career win #298 by striking out 9 Nationals in 5 innings.  He did allow 8 hits and 4 runs, however, and these are the types of lines RJ is going to put up from here on out.  
• Brian Wilson picked up a cheap save, 0.1 IP, 1 K, and its his 8th on the year.  The more I watch of him, the more I like him and think he has staying power as a fantasy closer.  

Back with a lot more tomorrow.  Thanks for reading.
