Tony Graffanino, now expected to back up Ruben Gotay this year, returned to action today and went 1-for-3.

Graffanino missed a week with a sprained ankle and apparently lost his starting job during his absence. He still figures to be worth owning in deep AL-only leagues.

Perhaps he should demand a trade....to the sox. I love you Tony G.!!!!!!

Not surprised.

Tony G is a backup.

A very valuable backup, but a backup nonetheless.

That seems pretty low to lose your starting job because you got injured.

Or because a younger and possibly more talented guy busted out this spring.

Tony G. Loves me! Bring him back!

Tony G. the Italian mobster. Well not really but I wouldn't mind seeing him with the Sox again.

Ruben Gotay and David DeJesus are two guys that I'd add to my fantasy team if not for the fact that I already have Angel Berroa and Mike Sweeney. 3 or more Royals on your fantasy team can not be a good thing.

Must be a pretty big league.

Must be a pretty big league.

32 or so teams........

Must be a pretty big league.

 

Me, you, and SoxFan1 are all in the same league.

 

I need some temporary replacements for Big Frank and Lance Berkman. In my search for sleepers, I keep coming back to the Royals and the Rockies.

 

David DeJesus numbers after the ASB:

 

296 AB

51 RUNS

93 HITS

14 DOUBLES

3 TRIPLES

7 HOME RUNS

35 RBI

7 STOLEN BASES

.314 AVERAGE

.385 OBP

.453 SLUG

.838 OPS

 

And of course, Gotay could be having the best spring of any American League player, period.

 

But like I said, I can't acquire either of the two.

 

Rockies sleepers I have my eye on: Matt Holliday (already acquired) and Clint Barmes.

 

I can't take Juan Gone and Jeromy Burnitz seriously...

I completely forgot we are in the same league. I haven't had much of a chance to check my team since the draft. After looking at those numbers though, DeJesus is a pretty good pick up and I agree with you on not ever taking a guy like Burnitz seriously. He could completely choke on the Cub.

I can't believe that a guy who hit 37 HR with 110 RBI is still available in a league where 250+ players have been taken. Somebody will probably pick him up, but it ain't gonna be me.
