Gary Matthews Jr?

What is up with this guy? Is he just getting the happy TEX homer streak, or is he putting something together?

I assume it's just an insane streak, but he has like 6 HR's in the past 2 weeks and it batting around .500.

See Tino Martinez. Insane streak, soon to vanish.

not sure. as soon as i saw him start to hit i wanted to pick him up. he was insane last week, i picked him up sunday (weekly transactions) and so far this week he's 5-8 2hrs, 4 rbis, 3 rs, 1 sb.

he fits my criteria for players i like because once upon a time he had some hype that he never delivered on, and i also like 2nd generation players.

i'm not sold, but it looked good enough for me to bite, and its paying off so far.
