Yesterday, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 3-for-5, 4 RBIs with his 11th and 12th homer, hitting .304. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is the greatest living hitter, and I'm not living in a hyperbolic chamber, while dining out on superlatives to describe how hot Gurriel's been since he returned from the minors. On our 30-day Player Rater, he's a near-top 10 hitter over the last month. His father, Yuli Gurriel, calls his son every day and asks him how he does it and LouGu Jay R is just like, "Father, I cannot explain my success with the white ball." And Yuli's like, "Careful with the coded language because I learned the hard way people don't like racism. Who knew?" LouGu Jay R may simply be a hot bat, but there's something to be said for a guy who has been hot the entire time he's returned from the minors. Maybe this is LouGu's floor vs. ceiling. At least one Junior is impressing on the Jays. "I got a better butt." That's Vlad Jr. modeling in front of a mirror for ESPN's Nude Magazine. However, the song Vlad Jr. sings to his reflection is apt, "Gurriel, you knows it's true." Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
