2010 was a banner year for Dan Uggla, as the slugging second baseman posted career-highs in batting average (.287), home runs (33) and RBI (105). A trade to Atlanta last November sent his fantasy value even higher, as managers salivated at the thought of a lineup that included Martin Prado, Jason Heyward, Chipper Jones, Brian McCann and Dan Uggla, and for good reason. Since his major league debut in 2006, Uggla had hit the second-most HRs (154) among non-first basemen in the majors. My preseason second base rankings pegged Uggla as the third-best two-bagger this season, behind only Robinson Cano and Dustin Pedroia. Yet despite all his past success, Uggla has struggled mightily this season, leading many to ask: What's wrong with Dan Uggla?

Top-tier talents such as Chase Utley (86 games), Dustin Pedroia (123), Ian Kinsler (150) and Rickie Weeks (204) have all missed significant time due to injury over the last four seasons. Heck, even the likes of Brian Roberts, Aaron Hill, Freddy Sanchez and Carlos Guillen have missed time in recent seasons. The only stalwart?

Pirates up 4-0 over the Cubs in the second inning; they're going for their 18th home win, which would be the most in the big leagues so far. Three of the Top 10 MLB team run differentials are in the same division. http://t.co/cTVOVunrbO Miguel Cabrera so far this season: 27 extra-base hits, 23 walks, 25 strikeouts. Love days like today when there is one early game on which to focus -- and today, it's Cubs/Pirates. http://t.co/DpK2r0JtRj
