So, beyond the Gettysburg Address and puns pertinent to it being awesome, Miami 1B Justin Bour is legitimately becoming a fantasy success story over his past seven games starting for the Marlins. He has gone 13-28 since May 15—I'm omitting a single 0-1 pinch-hit outing on the 16th—and has blasted five homers during that span. During the month of May as a whole, he's batting .348 and has 14 runs and 15 RBI.
