Revere to see more at-bats?: Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told MLB.com that he wants to find more playing time for outfielder Ben Revere. "He needs to play," Gardenhire said. "This will give me a chance when Willingham needs a break or something. Or even in center field. You saw that. He can play them all. And so can the other two, Komatsu and Mastroianni." Revere got the start in right field for Saturday's contest against the Brewers. (Updated 05/19/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Revere was sent down to the minors earlier in the season so he could see everyday at-bats, but was brought back up after Nick Blackburn landed on the DL. Gardenhire really likes the speed the 24-year-old brings to the lineup and said he wants to put Revere in the two-hole behind Denard Span. "I wanted to put him at the top with Span-man and let them fly around," Gardenhire said. "I wanted speed at the top and speed at the bottom." While Revere may see a few extra at-bats over the next few weeks, he will still have to split time as the Twins have six outfielder's on the roster. Continue to view Revere as merely an AL-only option in deeper formats at this point in the season. (Updated 05/19/2012).

05/11/2012 12:20 Treating Fantasy like the game it is
There are plenty of under-the-radar types in Fantasy that are delivering for a handful of owners. Our Nando Di Fino comes up with a creative way to get his point across about a few of his favorite sleepers.
If last season was Ben Revere's ride to Fantasy relevance, then the horse was a one-trick pony. Getting an opportunity to fill in for injured starters Jason Kubel and Denard Span, Revere started 105 games as a rookie. He was one of only two players with at least 400 at-bats to finish with a lower slugging percentage (.309) than on-base percentage (.310), which should demonstrate just how little power he offered, and it's not like either number was anywhere close to decent. In fact, Revere's .619 OPS was the fifth-lowest for any player with at least 400 at-bats. And yet he provided the Twins with exactly what they wanted: a speedster at the top of the lineup. Those 34 steals in 117 games made an impression on Fantasy owners as well and indicate that Revere could be a 50- or even 60-steal man with a full season of at-bats. Span is back after missing much of last season with a concussion, so Revere might have to settle for a timeshare in left field with Trevor Plouffe, among others. Still, provided Revere gets the majority of the at-bats, he'll be another of the steal specialists to target with a late-round pick in Rotisserie leagues. Just don't expect him to hit many homers.
