Allen Craig hit a two-run homer in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks. "The Wrench" was 0-for-4 before taking D-Backs closer J.J. Putz deep in the ninth. Now nine for his first 27 with three home runs, three doubles and 11 RBI since coming off the disabled list last Tuesday, Craig is inconceivably headed back to the bench with Lance Berkman (calf) ready to come off the disabled list on Friday. There's no doubt the Cardinals will work to get Craig into the lineup 3-4 times per week, however, and seemingly always ready to hit, his outfield, middle infield and corner infield eligibility makes him worth holding onto in all formats.
