Fantasy Analysis
Huff is just 1 for 7 (.143) in eight pinch-hit appearances since returning from the DL. He could obviously play his way into more PT if he starts to hit, but for now Huff isn't a very good Fantasy option. (Updated 05/22/2012).

05/13/2012 20:18 Hit Parade for Week 7
As interleague play gets under way there are many matchups to break down. Our Scott White tells you who the best bets and biggest risks are in his Hit Parade for Week 7.
Ever since 2005, Aubrey Huff has experienced a downturn in every odd-numbered year, and in 2011, the pendulum swung a little farther. Huff's batting average plunged 44 points from the previous year, and he compiled his lowest home run total (12) since 2001. His power decline was particularly acute at home, where he hit just three home runs in 258 at-bats. As a 35-year-old, Huff may be running out of comebacks, and he will be pushed by Brandon Belt for the starting first baseman's job. Owners have given up on Huff before, only to learn that he had more gas left in the tank, but given his age and the competition he will face to keep his job, he is a riskier pick than ever. Huff is best left for deeper mixed leagues and NL-only formats. (Updated 1/5/12)
