Who's Hot & Who's Not

The Benedicts have put last week's flirtation with the Dixie Chicken cellar in their rear view mirror, at least for now, so let's take a breather and see who's hot and who's not.

Who's Hot?

Joey Votto is a scary hitter right now.

Andre Ethier is playing like someone who will not be non-tendered.

Is Ryan Roberts for real?

Casey McGehee is hitting .341/.396/.568 over the last two weeks. His RBI single earlier today extended his hitting streak to 10 games.

Juan Uribe is hitting .434/.440/.696 with 2 HR, 9 RBI in his last 6 ballgames.

Mike Adams has allowed just 2 hits with no walks through 11 innings. Is he a future closer?

Yasmani Grandal has gone from struggling to red hot (.378/.527/.892 with 5 HR in his last 10 games) in the blink of an eye.

Likewise, Kyle Parker.

Julio Teheran's first three AAA starts resulted in a 1.69 ERA and a .203 average against. Teheran just turned 20 this past January.

Who's Not?

Chase Headley is hitting .195 over his last 14 games.

Rick Ankiel (.225-1-5-3) is lucky to be in Washington where the CF alternative are abysmal.

More Mendoza Line shenanigans from Chris Iannetta.

After issuing 23 hits and 16 walks in his first 19.1 innings, Javier Vazquez has fans checking on Homer Bailey's status almost every hour on the hour.

Ted Lilly has only been good this year in comparison the Vazquez.
