Boggs hits the skids in May: After posting six holds and 0.87 ERA in April, Cardinals reliever Mitchell Boggs has fallen on hard times in May. He's yet to record a hold in six outings, going 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA. "Those things tend to happen when you're falling behind guys and letting them hang around," Boggs told MLB.com. "I think as long as I stay aggressive in the strike zone, I'll be fine. But when you start nibbling, those balls tend to fall a little more than they usually do." (Updated 05/15/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Boggs was emerging as a reliable setup man prior to stumbling in May. He might be kept out of key situations until he gets back into a rhythm, so Fantasy owners need to track his progress. It's just that without regular hold chances, then Boggs doesn't have much Fantasy value. (Updated 05/15/2012).
