Sale focused on raising average: Baseball America reports Rays OF prospect Josh Sale, who was selected 17th overall in the 2010 MLB Draft, heads into 2012 motivated after batting .210 in 60 games in Rookie ball last year. "There's frustration,'' Sale said. "But I think that gives me more incentive to come back even stronger and be like, 'Look, the first year I hit .210, and I'm tired of it already.' So I'm going to do all I can to not hit .210 again.'' Sale admits he was stunned by the level of competition when he arrived for spring training last year. However, he feels better prepared heading into this season. "When the Rays first told me they were an organization that takes things slow and is going to develop, I was like, 'I want to get there now,' " Sale said. "But that's just something you can't do -- the best of the best don't usually do that . . . It's a process." (Updated 02/07/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Sale did homer in his first pro game last season, but he just didn't sustain success throughout his first pro season. But you have to give Sale a break. He was drafted out of high school and is still just 20 years old. He seems to have a plan heading into 2012, so we could see better numbers in his second pro campaign. Coming out of high school, Baseball America considered Sale the top prep power hitter in the 2010 draft. He is still a few years away from making his MLB debut, but Sale remains a viable long-term Fantasy keeper. (Updated 02/07/2012).
