Today’s Roto Riteup is unofficially brought to you by the delicious West Coast IPA I drank while writing. Living in Michigan, I’m quite spoiled by Bell’s, New Holland, Founders, etc. but it is always a special treat to get a taste of craft brews from other areas.

On today’s agenda:
1. Lorenzo Cain is hitting
2. The return of Brandon Belt
3. Two first baseman to the disabled list
4. The daily five

On today’s agenda:
1. Trades and their fantasy impact

3. Cliff Lee potentially done for the year
4. Ben Revere, still hitting, running and available
