Fantasy Analysis
Perhaps if Chisenhall wasn't hurt, then he would be in the majors right now with starting third baseman Jack Hannahan bothered by injury. Unfortunately, Chisenhall wasn't and Jose Lopez has proven to be a viable stopgap option until Hannahan is healthy. Chisenhall is batting .337 with four homers, 10 doubles and 13 RBI in 23 games for Columbus. It appears he has nothing left to prove at Triple-A, and even his strikeout totals are dwindling. He has struck out just three times in his last seven games. Chisenhall should be back in the majors later this summer, so stash him in deep seasonal formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Some top prospects earn the distinction because of their upside. Others earn it because they're just so darn safe. Lonnie Chisenhall apparently fits into the latter category. He was considered one of the top third basemen in the minors from the time the Indians took him with the 29th overall pick in 2008 draft, but once he arrived, the results were a little underwhelming. Granted, few prospects look like world-beaters right out of the gate, but Chisenhall's seven homers in 212 at-bats didn't exactly refute the reports that suggested he'd top out as a 20-homer player. He also had just eight walks compared to 49 strikeouts, suggesting he might require more patience than Fantasy owners are willing to give him. The Indians certainly felt he needed more work, demoting him to the minors at the end of spring training. With only Jack Hannahan standing in his way, he likely won't stay down for long, so he's still worth owning in AL-only leagues. His .315 batting average and four homers over his final 73 at-bats showed he's far from a lost cause. (Updated 3/27/12)
