Fantasy Analysis
It seems Bloomquist is sensing shortstop Stephen Drew's return, so he is making the most of his final starts. But if he keeps hitting like this, then Arizona will find ways to keep his bat in the lineup. Continue to treat Bloomquist as a stopgap Fantasy option. (Updated 05/24/2012).

05/18/2012 11:18 Interleague Play: A look at possible NL DHs
A look at who each NL team might use at DH when they play an American League team on the road in interleague play this season.
Willie Bloomquist proved to be a solid utility player once again in 2011 and earned a two-year deal to remain in Arizona. He batted .266 with four home runs, 26 RBI and 20 stolen bases while seeing action in 97 games, and was a valuable piece after Stephen Drew went down with a broken ankle in late July. The 34-year-old has shown in the past to be a threat on the basepaths when seeing steady playing time but since he will likely serve as a backup again in 2012, his value in Fantasy will be limited. Leave Bloomquist for NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 2/8/12)
