Berkman (another homer today!) continues to hit for me, but replacing Lowell at third is proving a challenge. That said, welcome to the newest Siamese Flyin' Squirrel: Josh Fields. I happened to spot that he hit a homer in the ridiculous 20-14 game between the Vikings and Bears today. (The football joke is even more apropos when you learn Fields was a two-year starting quarterback at Oklahoma State.) Anyway, that's 3 bombs in a week for those of us scoring at home, and we want in on that hot streak. My incumbent rookie 3B, Kevin Kouzmanoff, has cooled lately to the point where when I saw Fields breaking out, I grabbed him. The Kouz provided 6 homers and his BA for me (.256) is .35 better than his season BA. Like Kouz, Fields had a brutal start to the season, but as you can see, if you play your cards right, you can take the hot streak stats from these rookies and leave their slump stats on the waiver wire.
