September 26, 2008 Alberto Callaspo returned to the lineup Friday night after missing Thursday's game with a thigh ailment, according to the KC Star.
Our View:He enters the game against Minnesota with a 16-game hitting streak.
September 23, 2008 Alberto Callaspo was not in the Royals lineup on Thursday because he injured his thigh while sliding into home on Monday, according to Royals.com.
Our View:The injury is not serious, and Callaspo will return to the lineup for the team's final series of the year against the Twins.
September 21, 2008 Alberto Callaspo had a pinch hit single on Sunday to extend his hitting streak to 15-games. David DeJesus also had a hit in the game to extend his streak to 12-games.
Our View:That's a whole lot of hitting for that duo. With this run of production, Calaspo has actually seen his average barely increase as he is hitting .314 in September and .313 overall. He makes a fine final week fill-in if you have a need in the middle infield.
September 19, 2008 Alberto Callaspo extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a double on Friday. David DeJesus drove him in later in the inning.
Our View:Callaspo is hitting .309 in 68 games this season. The middle infielder has little power but a good eye. He has drawn 17 walks to just 13 strikeouts.
September 14, 2008 Callaspo went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, three runs scored and a steal for the Royals on Sunday.
Our View:He has had plenty off-the-field controversies in his past, but Callaspo definitely has baseball skills. He is now hitting above .300 and has an eight-game hit streak. He could help AL-only owners down the stretch.
