2012 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: Cardinals roll again, Pujols who?

St. Louis doesn’t seem too phased about saying bye-bye to Pujols. Beltran, Holliday and Freese all went yard in the 3rd en route to a 11-5 win over the Brewers. Freese is now 5 for 10 in his first 2 games and continuing right where he left off from last years postseason. That’s a lot of coin saved for the Cards if they can keeping winning without Pujols.

Speaking of Albert, he went 0-3, but luckily Jered Weaver was on top of his game, whiffing 10 poor Royals through 8 innings.

Adam Dunn is back baby! It may have been his only hit of the night, but Big Daddy Dunn made it count, reminding us that he is still one of the most prolific home run hitters of the past decade. Unfortunately, it was enough to take down the Rangers behind Colby Lewis’ 9Ks. Alexi Ogando, Mike Adams and Joe Nathan kept the Sox to one hit over 3 innings.

Jake Arrieta took down the Twins, holding them to 2 hits over 7 innings behind Nick Markakis’ triple and homer.

The Rays beat out the Yanks in the 9th, taking down Rivera in a 7-6 loss. Previous, Mo had been practically perfect against the Rays saving 60 of 61 chances.

 Tulo solidified a win over the Astros with a 9th inning homer and seems to be just fine.

Chad Billingsley dominated the Padres, striking out 11 over 8.1 innings. A great start for a guy who had lots of struggles last year. Matt Kemp picked up 2 more hits and stole his first base of the season. Will Kemp finally reach the 40/40 club this year?

Tim Lincecum wan’t necessarily out-pitched by Ian Kennedy but the D’Backs sure did have Lincey’s number. Paul Goldschmidt continues to hit the ball well off of the Giant ace and hit a first inning homer.

Phenom Yovani Cespedes hit his 2nd dinger of the season off of McCarthy, although it was Seattle who won the game 7-3.
