Casey McGehee goes yard

Casey McGehee has been collecting splinters sitting on the bench lately. Mostly due to his ineffective .198 average. Tonight he finally made a dent into why the Giants made him their starting third baseman. In the bottom of the second inning, Buster Posey led off with a single, Brandon Belt then doubled and moved Posey to third, and the following batter Justin Maxwell walked to load the bases. After Brandon Crawford struck out, McGehee then took over as he drilled the four-seam fastball with 1-3 count into center field for a grand slam home run off pitcher Jarred Cosart.

Fantasy Impact:

Casey McGehee won't get many home runs this season, and as things were going, he was making his last stand to remain in the starting lineup. I wouldn't put McGehee on your radar just yet, but he is a blip that can come into focus if he starts to get hot.
