| Yoenis Cespedes still not 100 percent |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(7:08 pm ET) Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes got the start for the sixth consecutive game as the designated hitter Wednesday in Texas, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Cespedes is back in the DH spot upon the recommendation of A's trainers, according to manager Bob Melvin.
Cespedes' left hamstring is still not 100 percent, though Melvin doesn't believe the issue is hindering his performance. That said, Cespedes has gone 3 for 20 over five starts as the DH. It could be that he hits better when he's playing the field.
"He always wants to play in the field," Melvin said of Cespedes. "Is he getting antsy? I don’t know. … When you’re in the field, you’re always doing stuff, you have a feel for the game. When you DH, you feel like you’re pinch hitting four times."
Melvin said, hitting well or not, he's going to continue penciling Cespedes' name into the lineup. "Regardless, when he’s in the lineup, we’re a better team whether he’s swinging the bat well or not,” Melvin said.

| Not everyone was sold on Yoenis Cespedes when the Athletics signed him to a four-year, $36 million deal last offseason, as some observers thought he might need some time in the minors before making an impact in the majors. To the contrary, Cespedes hit the ground running, homering in three of his first four games with Oakland. He did miss significant amounts of time in May and June with hand and hamstring injuries, and ultimately, he was limited to 129 games. When Cespedes played, though, he helped owners with power and run production, and he also finished with a .292 batting average and 16 stolen bases. Cespedes has the tools to produce like a top 20 outfielder, though he could fall short of that select group if injuries sideline him again. While owners may look to target an outfielder with a more established track record of staying healthy, it is still worthwhile to go after Cespedes with a pick in the early rounds. (Updated 12/4/12) |
