Fantasy Analysis
Janish saw a serious dropoff in his power last season and will likely serve as a reserve infielder for the Reds this season. He could see some starts at shortstop if Zack Cozart is unable to start the season, but his role will limit his appeal in Fantasy. Leave Janish for the deepest of NL-only formats on Draft Day.

02/01/2012 11:35 2012 Fantasy outlooks: Cincinnati Reds
The Reds rebuilt a significant portion of their roster in the hopes of winning now. Our Al Melchior breaks down Cincinnati's Fantasy options for owners to consider on Draft Day.
Paul Janish saw his most extensive playing time in the majors last season but was not much of a contributor with the bat. He hit just .214 with no home runs and 23 RBI in 114 games, with a lowly .262 slugging percentage. Owners had expected more after he hit five homers and 25 RBI in 200 at-bats in 2010, but the 29-year-old was unable to take his game to the next level. Janish lines up as a backup infielder for the Reds heading into this season but he could see some early run at shortstop if Zack Cozart needs more time to recover from his Tommy John surgery. Keep an eye on the situation going forward but plan on ignoring Janish in all but the deepest of NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 1/25/12)
