(*) FACTS/FLUKES: Overbay, Buehrle, Zito, Cabrera, Schumaker
May 2 2012
Overbay: Hot start is fool's gold ... Lyle Overbay (1B, ARI) is on his third tour of duty in Arizona, where he broke into the big leagues a decade ago as the Diamondbacks first baseman of the future. Now 35, he's in a time share with Arizona's current first baseman of the future, Paul Goldschmidt (1B, ARI), and gaining more at-bats thanks to a hot start. Is Overbay still worth fanalytic consideration?
