Fantasy Analysis
Betemit has displayed plenty of pop in his bat this season with seven homers and 21 RBI over 121 at-bats. That said, his average has remained low and he has not been able to sustain his offense consistently. Betemit also doesn't play every single day and is just an AL-only Fantasy option.

05/17/2012 00:37 Jones, Orioles clip Royals in 15
Adam Jones homered with one out in the 15th inning, lifting the Baltimore Orioles to a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.
Coming off an impressive 2010 season in which he produced a career-best .889 OPS, Betemit spent the entire 2011 season getting displaced -- first by big-name prospect Mike Moustakas in Kansas City and then by defensive whiz Brandon Inge in Detroit. Even with the sporadic playing time, he managed to compile a .285 batting average, showing he's still an adequate offensive contributor. Then again, he didn't exactly seize his opportunity as an everyday player. Now with the Orioles, he'll have a chance for semi-regular playing time at DH and also spell Mark Reynolds and Chris Davis at the corner infield spots occasionally, but full-time at-bats are probably beyond his reach. Betemit is strictly an AL -only option on Draft Day. (Updated 1/25/12)
