Beginner's luck?

Atlanta's catcher, Brian McCann, recently suffered a concussion and has to take some time off from playing. He's my fantasy catcher, so I added the best catcher available, according to stats and made the best of an unfortunate situation.

But it turns out that I made the wrong choice. I should have gone with the Braves' Clint Sammons.

Here's what happened:
Atlanta called him up from Triple-A Richmond on Monday.

Thursday night, the rookie not only hit the first homer of his major league career, but he also drove in three runs, had three hits in all and scored twice.

Not bad for his first time out of the stable.

So I added him to my lineup today. I'm willing to take that risk. After all, I'm in 10th place again. What do I have to lose? I'm just hoping that his first outing wasn't "beginner's luck."
