2 yes, 1 no.
Brian Barton- The Rule 5 draft rules so Brian barton may get a chance to play everyday or so for the Cardinals.BB never got many chances for his former team the Indians. Remember, he never posted less than a .400 OBP for them. That kind of production in the mostly anemic hitting Cardinals will be deemed a fortune. He also has stolen at least 20 bases in each of his three minor league campaigns. Barton should be available later in most of your drafts is a qualifier as a sleeper this spring.
Alex Gordon is not being talked about much. An OPS of over 1.000 in AA in his first pro experience is something you can’t forget about. Yes, compare his 2006 to his 2007 campaign.Don’t forget him very late in the draft.
.Fernando Rodney is being ordered to take a week off with tendonitis in his shoulder, and with Joel Zumaya out for a few months at least, the Tiger bullpen is looking a little threadbare. This is a situation that bears monitoring, not an immediate pickup. What is Todd Jones now, about 75 yrs old?
