| Matt Wieters comes up big |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/8/13) Orioles catcher Matt Wieters drove in three runs Tuesday during a 4-3 win over the Royals.
Wieters came up with the big hit with an RBI double in the eighth inning to score the go-ahead run. He drove in his other two runs on another double in the first. Both doubles were hit swinging from the left side, though he's been much better hitting from the right side of the plate.
Wieters went 2 for 4 but is still batting just .234. Manager Buck Showalter was asked how good a hitter Wieters can be with more nights like Tuesday, MASNSports.com reports.
"It's not so much he can be, he is," Showalter said. "The double, obviously a big blow for us. You kind of look at run production with guys like J.J. (Hardy) and him. I know we get bogged down on batting averages. That will be there, but we like them up in a situation."

| Once again, Fantasy owners went into 2012 expecting great things from former top prospect Matt Wieters, and once again, he failed to live up to those expectations. True, he did set career highs in several categories -- including games played, home runs and RBI -- but to be one of the top offensive catchers in the game, he'll have to do better than a .249 batting average and.764 OPS. So what are the reasons you might fall for it again this year? Well, Wieters' best work came in September, when he not only hit .296 with six home runs but also walked at a rate more in line with his minor-league numbers, which may suggest he's beginning to get a leg up on major-league pitching. Of course, if you feel like you've heard that before, that's because he did about the same thing last season, only in August as well as September. So was it progress or just a well-timed hot streak? Considering he's still only 26, either one is plausible, but as many times as Wieters has fooled us in the past, you're better off expecting his usual production in 2013. That production is good enough to rank him among the top six catchers in Fantasy, but it keeps him out of the Buster Posey and Joe Mauer class. (Updated 12/4/12) |
