Player of the day - Steven Caseres, 1B

After 2 mediocre months to start the season, Caseres broke out in June with an incredible .418/.512/.806 line. He smashed 6 home runs and walked 14 times in 21 games. But now, it looks like a mirage as Steven has fallen hard back to Earth. His average plummeted to .235 in July and he didn't hit even 1 home run. It's dropped even further in August to .132 and his OPS is a miserable .522. His problem is his complete inability to hit lefties (.141 BA). He's been great against righties, posting a .914 OPS against them. But he'll have to hit southpaws to prove himself more than just a platoon player.
