Aaron Hill, John McDonald Get Shipped To Zona, For Kelly Johnson





It's not the biggest news but Kelly Johnson and Aaron Hill are some of the biggest busts in fantasy baseball this year. Johnson once hit .284 with 24 HRs and 71 RBIs, this year he is hitting .209 with 18 HRs and 49 RBIs. Hill two years ago hit .286 with 36 HRs and 108 RBIs, this year is hitting .225 with 6 HRs and 45 RBIs.



So this is obviously a change of scenery trade, both teams took on has been guys in hopes of getting something out of them. Hill has been on a 2 year slide so I don't expect much and as for Johnson, he at least is hitting for power, so maybe that will continue.

Hey Steve, Your Foots Facing The Wrong Way



I don't know what happened last night in Arizona but both Milwaukee outfielder Carlos Gomez (collarbone) and Stephen Drew(ankle) left with broken bones. Obviously I'm going to focus on Stephen Drew because he's a better player and because his is much more gruesome.

Drew's injury is the second major injury at home plate since Buster Posey broke his leg. The Diamondbacks are left without a shortstop for the rest of the season, and even though he has had an off year, losing an impact bat like this could be devastating to a club.

However, if I hear anymore bullshit about home plate plays, I'm going to be pissed. It's an unfortunate coincidence.
