Uggla provides only offense: With the exception of second baseman Dan Uggla, nobody on the Braves was able to do much offensively on Wednesday, as they fell to the Reds, 2-1. Uggla provided the only run in the game, a solo homer in the fourth inning off Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo, while going 1 for 3 overall with a walk. It was his sixth long ball of the season, but his first in 12 games. (Updated 05/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Uggla’s power has been somewhat lacking so far this season, as he is sporting the lowest slugging percentage of his career, at .431, so hopefully he can get going soon. He is hitting .263, right around his career average, with 25 RBI, so the only think he really needs to turn around is that power. He should remain active in most Fantasy formats, as he can get hot in a hurry. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/13/2012 18:11 Braves hand Cards' Lynn first loss
Jason Heyward ended a 10-pitch at-bat with a bases-clearing double in third inning, helping the Atlanta Braves give rookie Lance Lynn his first loss and beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
As disappointing as Dan Uggla's first year in a Braves uniform was, it could have been much, much worse. After the All-Star break, he salvaged what was shaping up to be a historically bad campaign with a 33-game hitting streak during which he hit .377 with 15 homers in 130 at-bats. Over his other 470 at-bats, he hit only .194, including .174 over the first three months. Granted, inconsistency is nothing new for Uggla -- his high strikeout rate has contributed to wild fluctuations in batting average over the years -- but his struggles in 2011 were different. At one point, he even admitted he was trying to live up to his big contract and impress his new team. The year wasn't a total loss, of course. Despite the career-low .233 batting average and .764 OPS, he did manage to hit a career-high 36 homers to become the first second baseman in history with five consecutive 30-homer seasons. And that's one thing you can always count on Uggla to provide: power at a historically weak position. But he's not quite the Fantasy stud he appeared to be when he hit a career-high .287 in 2010. He's still a top 10 second baseman, but one you can wait until the middle rounds to draft in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 2/9/12)
