Adam Lind of the Blue Jays and Jeff Clement of the Mariners both hit their first home runs of the season last night. Both players are highly touted prospects within their respective organizations.
Lind was called up from AAA after Marcum was placed on the DL. He was hitting .328, 6HR, 50RBI's in 189AB's. This kid can hit if he is given the chance.
Clement was called up from AAA and was hitting .337, 14HR, 43RBI all in 172AB's. After being sent down earlier this year Clement found his swing and it has translated into a 2nd chance at the big leagues. He is suppose to be the starting C for the Mariners, especially since Johjima is tearing up the bench lately, so look for Clement to fill some stats for you in the C position (as long as he gets accustomed to big league pitching).

Marcum/Halladay
Shaun Marcum of the Jays was placed on the 15-Day DL with a right elbow strain. So far this season Marcum has shown he can handle big league hitters and this DL stint is brutal for owners because he has given owners great numbers. With a 2.65ERA, 86K, 27BB, and 1.00WHIP all in 98.2 innings. Adam Lind was called up to replace Marcum on the roster. Lind has been hitting AAA pitching this season.
Roy Halladay of the Jays is feeling no ill-effects from a line drive to head during his last outing. Owners should be happy because Halladay is an ace pitcher and any time on the DL would hurt fantasy owners.

Adam Lind
Adam Lind of the Blue Jays will get a chance to prove himself on the Major League stage after the release of the Big Hurt. This news is really only for AL-only leagues so if you are in an AL-only league, please make sure to keep your eye out for this player.
He has the ability to go deep with his 11HR's in 290AB's in the 2007 season.
