Fantasy Analysis
With Mat Gamel out, the Brewers are down to Green or Travis Ishikawa at first base and Green might be the better option already. That said, we don't expect him to carry anything more than NL-only Fantasy value for at least a while. (Updated 05/09/2012).

05/13/2012 17:51 Cubs avoid 3-game sweep by Brewers
Ian Stewart hit a solo homer and scored the go-ahead run on an error, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-2 Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep by their division rivals.
Taylor Green's 2011 numbers would have you believe he's a top prospect, but the game hasn't always come so easily for him. He hurt his wrist in 2008, interrupting a promising start to his professional career. The injury sapped him of much of his power in the two years that followed, limiting him to a combined 19 homers in 719 at-bats. But as we've seen from several major-leaguers who have suffered wrist injuries in recent years, the return to the lineup often comes well before the return to form, and Green's return to form finally came in 2011, when he regained the power, contact rate and on-base ability that he demonstrated in the lower levels of minors. The performance was enough to earn him a taste of the big leagues in September. Though he played mostly second base then, he was primarily a third baseman in the minors and could end up playing a platoon role for the Brewers. Green's skill set is similar to Ben Zobrist's, but you obviously can't expect him to make that kind of impact. Still, he has sleeper appeal in deeper leagues. (Updated 1/25/12)
