Hanigan on modest hitting streak : Reds catcher Ryan Hanigan was able to extend his hitting streak to four straight games during Sunday afternoon's contest against the Cubs. Hanigan extended the streak when he singled off starter Randy Wells in the top of the second inning in the 4-3 victory. He also drew a pair of walks and finished 1 for 3 with a run scored.

Fantasy Analysis
Hannigan made his ninth start of the season behind the plate on Sunday as he continues to split time with Devin Mesoraco. However, the 31-year-old hasn't done much with his at-bats this season as he is batting just .219 on the season with one RBI. While Hanigan has proved in the past that he can be decent producer at the dish, that fact that he will continue to split playing time continues to limit his value to that of a low-end NL-only option.

05/18/2012 21:40 Pettitte dominates as Yanks blank Reds

05/17/2012 17:05 Mets foil Reds on Wright's double
David Wright lined his second double of the game, a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning that raised his major league-leading average to .411 and sent the New York Mets past the Cincinnati Reds 9-4 Thursday.
Ryan Hanigan continued to split time behind the plate in Cincinnati last season but was able to contribute some low-end stats while playing in a career-high 91 games. He batted .267 with six home runs and 31 RBI in 266 at-bats, while getting on base at a .356 clip. While his slugging percentage fell from .429 in 2010 to .357, he drew more walks than he struck out and gave the Reds some solid defense behind the plate. The 31-year-old will have to fend off Devin Mesoraco for playing time this season but manager Dusty Baker will likely rely on the veteran more when the rookie struggles. Hanigan would likely put up double-digit homers with a full season of at-bats but given his current role, plan on leaving him for NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 1/25/12)
