Lucroy remains hot: Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy homered for the third time in four games on Wednesday, and added his ninth double of the season for good measure in leading the Brewers to an 8-5win over the Giants. Lucroy went 2 for 4 in the game with two RBI and two runs scored, upping his batting average to .349 on the season. He now has five home runs and 29 RBI on the year. (Updated 05/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Lucroy hit .265 with 12 home runs last season, so he is on quite the tear to start the year. He has cut his strikeout rate on the season from 21.2 percent to 13.5 percent, which goes a long way in explaining the increase in batting average. Right now, he is hitting the cover off the ball and is worth starting in most Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/20/2012 19:47 Hit Parade for Week 8
Some catchers have been bitten by the injury bug in recent days, leaving some owners scrambling. Our Scott White shares some recommendations and helps set your lineups for Week 8 in his Hit Parade.
Jonathan Lucroy saw the majority of the starts behind the plate for Milwaukee last season and put up some pretty decent numbers while seeing action in 136 games. He missed the first week of the season while on the DL but returned to hit .310 with a .496 slugging percentage over his first 37 games. He would cool down after that and finished the year with a .265 average, with 12 home runs and 59 RBI. While his .313 on-base percentage was not that impressive, his .391 slugging percentage shows that he has some budding power. The 25-year-old enters 2012 as the main backstop for the Brewers again and should only continue to benefit from a potent lineup surrounding him. He has hit 20 homers in the minors before and has that potential in the majors so target Lucroy in deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 1/25/12)
