It's been a longgggg time coming, the return of Ian Desmond. So many people, myself included, were really high on him in the preseason, and then his injury happened and he was going to be out for a significant amount of time. But finally, on April 30th, people got to have Ian Desmond back in their lineups. He started off somewhat slow (though he snagged a stolen base in his second game), and then exploded on Wednesday night, going 3-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI. Yea, welcome back Ian Desmond, and way to put aside any of those fears people may have had about whether you'd be any good in Colorado. It's nice to have him back.

Let's take a look at some of Wednesday's other noteworthy performances:

    Why even include the players in which the commentary is “This _____ guy is pretty good”?. Adds no value to the post. Makes more sense to focus on low % owned players doing well, or high % owned players doing poorly, or monster nights for either group.

      Hi Andrew!

      Generally, the purpose of the Batter’s Box is to highlight hitting performances of the previous day, plain and simple (similar to the SP Roundup). That includes high-owned players and low-owned players, which is why they’re all included here.
