Sports hernia - Probable for start of spring training (Updated - 1/5/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Uribe is set to be ready for spring training in 2012, so Fantasy owners should keep an eye on his progress to that point. He won't be much help down the stretch in seasonal leagues, and he should be dropped in all formats for now. Uribe was a breakout option in 2010, but he failed to live up to the pressure with a new club, so he has much work to do to get back into out favor. We saw him as just a marginal option when healthy.

Plenty of position players and pitchers with eligibility changes entering 2012. We've got the complete listings for multi-eligible players, starting and relief pitchers and more for your league setup.
The Dodgers signed Juan Uribe to a three-year deal last offseason with the hopes that he could bring the thump that he provided the Giants to L.A.'s lineup. His first season in Dodger Blue was a disaster, as he battled a sports hernia for much of the year and missed nearly the entire second half. When Uribe did play, he was sapped of his usual power. Unfortunately, when Uribe isn't hitting homers and driving in runs he has virtually no Fantasy value, as he does not hit for average, draw walks or steal bases. Uribe will enter the season as the Dodgers' starting third baseman, but he could be supplanted by free agent signee Jerry Hairston if he slumps or gets hurt. That makes Uribe strictly an option for owners in NL-only drafts. (Updated 2/9/12)
