Mayberry turning things around: The Phillies have been hitting much better in the month of May, and outfielder John Mayberry is no exception, as he had his first three-hit game of the season on Saturday against the Red Sox, going 3 for 4 with a walk and a run score, as the Phillies fell 7-5.

Fantasy Analysis
Mayberry had just a .204 batting average with no walks in the month of April. In May, his batting average is now up to .308, with four walks, four doubles and a home run in 52 at bats. He is still playing almost every day and now that he is starting to play better could be useful in NL-only Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/19/2012).

When asked about John Mayberry's potential for 2012, manager Charlie Manuel and general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. both offered the same comparison: Jayson Werth. That should be music to Fantasy owners' ears. Werth was a first-round disappointment who eventually landed with the Phillies and hit .273 with 24 homers and an .861 OPS as a part-timer in 2008. He got an everyday role the next year and became everything that he became. Mayberry, meanwhile, was a first-round disappointment who eventually landed with the Phillies and hit .273 with 15 homers and an .854 OPS as a part-timer last year. He gets an everyday role this year with Raul Ibanez gone, and ... well, you get the idea. Of course, that everyday role isn't guaranteed for Mayberry. The Phillies signed Laynce Nix to push him this spring and also have future five-category stud Domonic Brown toiling in the minors. But with first baseman Ryan Howard expected to miss the first few weeks of the season following surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon, Brown's experience at first base should guarantee he'll have a job somewhere. And if he hits like he did last year, a 25-homer season isn't out of the realm of possibility. Target the 28-year-old Mayberry as a late-round sleeper. (Updated 2/14/12)
