Fantasy Analysis
Saunders has raised his batting average from .219 to .235 in the streak, however he has also struck out six times in that time span. He is still whiffing too much, which continues to weigh down his batting average. He has decent power and speed potential, however as long as his batting average hovers below .250, he should be left for AL-only Fantasy formats at this time. (Updated 05/19/2012).

Ubaldo Jimenez overcame a shaky start to get the win and the Cleveland Indians pounded out a season-best five doubles to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 Wednesday night.
After hitting 10 homers with 33 RBI in 289 at-bats in 2010, Michael Saunders took a huge step back last season and spent most of the year in the minors. He batted just .168 with seven RBI and a .248 slugging percentage over his first 45 games before being sent down to the minors in early June. He proved that he can hit for average and drive in runs at Triple-A Tacoma but was not recalled until rosters expanded, and started eight games down the stretch while batting .042. The 25-year-old still has some intriguing upside but will likely have to fight for a roster spot during the spring. Even if he makes the big club, will likely serve as a fourth or fifth outfielder. Plan on ignoring Saunders in all but the deepest of AL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 1/3/12)
