Cardinals outfielder Randal Grichuk continued to hit all the baseballs last night chipping in two hits and a two-run home run to help beat the Braves. Randy! Randy! Randy! Randy has been quite randy indeed lately, he's now homered in back to back games and he's hitting .346 with six runs, four home runs, ten RBI and a stolen base in the past week. Yes! More please! He's slashing .283/.333/.566 with 11 home runs and 36 RBI on the year, and the .900 OPS ain't too shabby either. But it's the 11 homers in 219 at-bats that raises my eyebrow, Dwayne Johnson. That's a 25-30 homer hitter over a full season, folks! If we take a peep at the next level stats we can see Randy and his .375 BABIP may be getting a bit lucky. Let's not even talk about 30.8 K% and 5.8 BB% because they are downright awful. And sure Stephen Piscotty could threaten to steal some of Grichuk's ABs down the line. However, the fact is Grichuk is hitting hot fire right now and is still under 50% owned in most leagues, a number that will undoubtedly grow over the next few hours as the legend of his four homer week spreads throughout the land. Time to Buy-chuk, Grichuk! I'd add him in all leagues while he's still hitting everything he sees into the bleachers. Randy! Randy! Randy!
