Goldschmidt mining for doubles: Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt went 1 for 4 with a double and a run scored during the Diamondbacks' 2-0 win at Kansas City in an interleague outing on Sunday. It was the second straight game Goldschmidt has recorded a double -- the third time he's accomplished that feat this month -- to increase his total to 10 two-base hits this season. He is now carrying a .242 batting average after finishing April with a .193 mark. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Goldschmidt, in his first full season as a starter, lost some playing time last month to veteran Lyle Overbay, but that was not expected to last as the Diamondbacks are committed to the 24-year-old's progression. His strikeout totals remain a little high considering his lack of home runs, but he has already exceeded his at-bats total from April and is producing better marks in May (.288 batting average and .323 on-base percentage). He is worth starting in NL-only Fantasy formats while he's heating up at the plate. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/06/2012 15:57 Mets ride Dickey to victory over D-Backs
R.A. Dickey baffled the Diamondbacks with his knuckleball, pitching shutout ball into the ninth inning to lead the New York Mets over Arizona 3-1 on Sunday.
After a pair of 30-home run seasons in the minors, the Diamondbacks skipped Paul Goldschmidt over Triple-A and called him up from Double-A Mobile in early August. The 24-year-old made a mostly smooth transition, hitting eight home runs in just 47 games. Goldschmidt also continued to do a good job of drawing walks, but a surging strikeout rate kept his batting average down to a .250 clip. While Chase Field is normally generous to hitters, Goldschmidt may still have a difficult time approaching his gaudy minor league numbers. He spent the last two seasons playing in good home-run hitting environments, and he still likely has adjustments to make to major league pitching. If he can become a 30-homer threat with a batting average that is substantially better than league average, Goldschmidt will become a staple of mixed leagues. For now, he is more of an option for owners in NL-only formats. (Updated 1/9/12)
