Chris Heisey (Dayton): Has hit safely in 18 of his last 20 games (30-73, .411)

Heisey has been absolutely ripping it up since the All-Star break, if not a little before. He's going real well right now and is a joy to watch.

Phipps has 19 RBI's in July. He has played 13 games.

[OesterPoster]

I'm sure there are others, but I'll give you one guy on the "Who's Not" list.

Juan Francisco

He looked horrible at the plate last night, and his range at 3rd is very iffy. He struck out 4 times when everyone else in the lineup was driving hits all over the place. Over the last 10 games, check this out:

.227 BA
1 walk
20 K's in 44 ABs
4 RBI

Drew Stubbs is pretty hot in July.
.311/.483/.533 so far in the month.

How about Justin Reed?
.353/.439/.471 in July.

[Kc61]

Maybe Dumatrait is back in the picture for a major league stint. If a starter gets traded, say Lohse, and Bailey doesn't seem ready, maybe Dumatrait gets a shot. Would like to see it, he's been moving up the ladder for some time now.

[AmarilloRed]

We might see both Dumatrait and Livingston in the Reds rotation, Belisle in the bullpen, and Homer Bailey in AAA.
