J.J. Hardy (.290, 5 HR, 12 RBI) had an absolutely amazing week last week (.281, 4 HR, 8 RBI). This may be Hardy's breakout year considering he is still a young guy (25 this year). Hardy is a very big gamble for the upcoming week, facing some talented Cubs pitching and finishing it up facing the Astros. When hardy faces the Cubs he will have Zambrano, Hill and Lilly on the mound. Zambrano has gotten absolutely shelled this season (maybe because Dusty Baker absolutely killed him the last few years?). Hill and Lilly have thrown extremely well, but they can't keep that up forever. Hopefully Hardy can salvage a few hits against the Cubs and hit up the Astros.
