Fantasy Analysis
Rosales has spent most of the season in the minors after losing out on a bench job this spring. He hit .277 with two homers, 13 doubles and 19 RBI in 36 games for Sacramento. He might see some starts at third base in Inge's absence, but leave him on Fantasy waivers until further notice. (Updated 05/17/2012).
03/19/2012 23:54 Spring primer: Oakland Athletics
No team seemed to be more active this offseason than the A's, who traded away the top of their rotation and their closer, but brought in talented young arms, as well as an entirely new outfield with Yoenis Cespedes, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith. The A's may not be any better in 2012 than they were in 2011, but they'll at least be different.
After posting career highs with seven homers and 31 RBI in 2012, injuries and inconsistent play hindered Adam Rosales a year ago. He would appear in just 24 games in the majors and batted .098 with two home runs and eight RBI. The 28-year-old has shown in the past that he has some decent pop off the bench and will compete for playing time at third base during the spring. Rosales would have appeal in AL-only formats with consistent at-bats but should be ignored in Fantasy as a utility infielder. (Updated 2/27/12)
