AL Player Profiles

Schuyler Dombroske

J.D. Drew - How is it that Drew is owned in only 1 out of 3 ESPN leagues? After another hit and two walks last night, Drew is hitting 306/353/565 for the month of June. He is still a dangerous hitter (and a better than average corner OF, of course), and definitely should be owned in just about every format I can think of.

Ben Broussard - With Raul Ibanez and Jose Guillen on the shelf, Ben Broussard instantly becomes valuable as a Matt Stairs-like option at 1B/OF. Broussard isn't going to give you much better than league average production, but he is capable of at least that, which is much better than your average fill-in in deeper leagues. I would be comfortable starting him until the two regular OF's return.

Kendry Morales - With Garret Anderson and Gary Matthews Jr. both out of the lineup, Kendry Morales is starting to get some PT as the DH for the Angels. Morales is only 24 years old, and his minor league numbers suggest that he could be a substantially better hitter than the previous DH option for the Angels (Hillenbrand). In deeper leagues, he is certainly worth taking a flyer on right now.

Matt Stairs - Wonder Hamster extended his hitting streak to seven games with a big two-run homer last night against the Twins, and he's now hitting 304/371/582 as an extremely valuable injury replacement for Lyle Overbay. This level of performance might be a bit much to expect, but he should still be able to provide above-average hitting from a position where it is required.

Jonny Gomes - The red-hot Jonny Gomes is slugging almost 1.000 since his latest recall from the minors, and since he's shown in the past that he's capable of some pretty impressive power numbers, expect the Rays to give him the benefit of the doubt and continue to play him even after some of their injury issues subside. His batting average will likely fluctuate wildly, but with his power and patience he should be valuable regardless.

Dioner Navarro - Navarro's performance has been atrocious so far this season, but perhaps the last few games are an indication that he's breaking out a bit. Navarro is 5-11 with a double and a homer over his last three games, and his career major league line of 264/342/364 coming into the season (as a 22 year old catcher, mind you) is decent production from a second catcher. I like Navarro's potential, although he is certainly no better than a second catcher at this point in his career. There just aren't that many guys capable of holding down a starting spot at his age, and he's proven the past few years that he is indeed capable of that....he just needs to show Tampa.
