Chicago Cubs minor league first baseman Brian Dopirak returned from an opening day broken foot on June 2. The player who hit 39 homers for low-A Lansing in 2004 (though just 16 for high-A Daytona last year), finally hit his first home run of the year yesterday in his 46th game, in AA West Tenn's 6-5 loss. (Hat tip: Chicago Cubs Minor League Baseball.) Dopirak is now hitting .258/.313/.344 on the year. It's a strange thing that Micah Hoffpauir has easily outplayed Dopirak and Brandon Sing this year.
