Snider in mix to start in left field: According to MLB.com, Blue Jays OF Travis Snider is in the mix to start in left field in 2012 even though Eric Thames got the majority of the starts there down the stretch in 2011. The two will likely compete for the starting job in spring training, with Rajai Davis coming off the bench. (Updated 10/24/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Snider ended the 2011 season with tendinitis in his right wrist, which is part of the reason why he didn't make a return trip to the big leagues in September. Still, another split season between the majors and the minors isn't an encouraging sign for the former first-round pick, who now has 799 career big-league at-bats. He hit an impressive .327 at Triple-A Las Vegas, but with only four homers in 248 at-bats, suggesting he's still not quite a finished product. At age 23, he still has time to salvage his career, but you shouldn't target him as more than a late-round pick in 2012, especially since he isn't even guaranteed a starting job.

Is Brandon Morrow on the brink of a breakout? Who is Henderson Alvarez and why should he matter to you on Draft Day? Our Scott White sizes up the 2012 Blue Jays for Fantasy owners.
Toronto OF Travis Snider has yet to realize his vast potential in the major leagues entering the 2012 season. The 24-year-old Snider got just 187 at-bats last year and hit .225 with three homers and 30 RBI. He showed glimpses of his potential in 2010 as he hit .255 with 14 HRs and 32 RBI over 298 at-bats. Unfortunately, Snider will still have to impress to earn an everyday job with the Blue Jays in 2012. He heads into spring training in the mix at all three outfield spots, though Colby Rasmus, Eric Thames, Rajai Davis, Ben Francisco and Jose Bautista all have claims out there as well. Unless injuries make the situation less crowded, Snider is only going to carry low-end AL-only Fantasy appeal into the start of 2012. (Updated 2/7/12)
