Fantasy Analysis
After homering five times in his first 13 games, Infante has left the yard just once in his last 23 contests. You knew his early-season power surge likely wouldn't last because he is not that type of hitter. But it's not like Infante has completely fallen off the map. He is batting .333 with six doubles, 11 runs and 13 RBI in his last 23 games. He continues to be a viable low-end Fantasy starter in mixed leagues. (Updated 05/23/2012).

05/11/2012 22:29 Dobbs' single wins it for Marlins vs. Mets
Greg Dobbs' single with two outs in the ninth inning scored Emilio Bonifacio from second base with the winning run Friday night, and the Miami Marlins rallied to end the New York Mets' five-game winning streak with a 6-5 victory.
A year after hitting .321 as a super-utility player to earn the most controversial All-Star nod in the history of the event, Omar Infante got a position to call his own for the Marlins in 2011, taking over for the departed Dan Uggla at second base. Defensively, it went well enough for the Marlins to stick with it, signing Infante to a two-year extension in the offseason, but for the Fantasy owners who drafted the 30-year-old expecting the second coming of Placido Polanco, it was a definite disappointment. Infante hit only .276, which wouldn't be a disaster for most players, but given his lack of pop, it led to a .696 OPS that ranked 15th among full-time second basemen. Before you dismiss him as a viable Fantasy option, though, keep in mind he did show significant improvement in the second half, hitting .314 with an .842 OPS. Because he offers little in the way of home runs and stolen bases, Infante has nothing to fall back on when he's not hitting his best. But if you need a middle infielder who could potentially help in batting average, he'll be available in the late rounds of mixed-league drafts. (Updated 1/25/12)
