LaHair's streak comes to an end: A 0-for-4 performance Wednesday against the Phillies ended Bryan LaHair's streak of reaching base safely at 32 games. “I keep it simple,” LaHair told MLB.com. “I stick to my approach. I’ve been doing this for awhile. I’m just real comfortable at the plate, try to get on base for the team. I try to give guys like [Alfonso Soriano] and [Ian] Stewart the chance to drive me in, just like the guys in front of me are trying to let me drive them in. It’s a chain effect for the whole offense.” (Updated 05/17/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
LaHair did score a run Wednesday, but he reached base by an error, which doesn't count toward the streak. The only at-bats that count are ones that increase on-base percentage. Nonetheless, LaHair has been a huge surprise to begin the 2012 season and we now see why the Cubs named him their starting first baseman over prospect Anthony Rizzo. After hitting .390 in April, LaHair's average has dropped to .339 in May. However, it's not like he's mired in a terrible slump. He's still bating .283 with five homers in 14 May games. LaHair is worth starting in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/17/2012).
