Fantasy Analysis
Mientkiewicz picked a good time to bust out the whooping stick Wednesday. That's because he was slumping, big time. He's now, after the 4-for-4 game, five for his last 15. That is a .333 average, which isn't bad, but again, he went 4-for-4 Wednesday. Mientkiewicz mostly sees pinch-hitting action for the Pirates and is only an NL-only reserve option in Fantasy, at best.
