| Andrelton Simmons making 'good contact' |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(6/5/13) Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a 2-for-5 effort Wednesday against the Pirates. Simmons is 18 for 50 (.360) with four doubles, four RBI and seven runs during his hitting streak.
"Some days I've been feeling good, some days not so good, but still I'm going up there and battling every at-bat, trying to make contact, trying to get good pitches to hit and not swing at bad pitches or minimize the times I swing at bad pitches," Simmons said prior to Wednesday's game, per MLB.com. "Just try to make good contact, and sometimes they'll fall."

| Andrelton Simmons back on ice |
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons finished 0 for 2 after entering the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning during Atlanta's 5-1 loss at San Francisco on Sunday. It was his third straight hitless outing -- matching his longest stretch of the season -- following a five-game hitting streak that included seven RBI.

| After losing the starting shortstop job to fellow rookie Tyler Pastornicky in spring training, Andrelton Simmons quickly convinced the Braves they had made the wrong choice and was starting in the big leagues by June 2. He got off to a hot start, too, batting .333 with an .887 OPS after a month. Unfortunately, he broke his pinkie about a week later and missed the next two months. Health wasn't the only area in which Simmons fell short as a rookie. In addition to his high contact rate, his base-stealing ability was supposed to be what set him apart in Fantasy, and yet he attempted just one stolen base in 49 games. After losing Michael Bourn in the offseason, the Braves toyed with the idea of making Simmons their leadoff hitter, so they must feel like he's capable of making an impact on the base paths. Given his lack of power, he'll need to get the green light more often to make a significant impact in Fantasy. Right now, Simmons' greatest asset is bat control, which is more valuable in real life than in Fantasy, so unless your league uses a middle infield spot, you don't much incentive to draft him. He'll likely enter the Elvis Andrus and Asdrubal Cabrera class of shortstops as he matures, but right now, he's a rung down the ladder. (Updated 12/5/12) |
