Latest News
| David DeJesus succeeding in platoon role |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/20/13) Cubs outfielder David DeJesus hasn't been playing against lefties, but that might be for the best.
DeJesus has been a much better hitter against righties over his career. In 3,157 at-bats, DeJesus has a .293/.368/.453 line against right-handers. DeJesus has continued that success and is hitting .314/.382/.559 in 118 at-bats against righties this year.
Although a platoon isn't ideal for Fantasy owners, DeJesus is in the better half of a platoon situation. He should see a fair amount of playing time against right-handers, and that should keep him in the lineup fairly often.

| David DeJesus returns to leadoff role Monday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/13/13) Cubs outfielder David DeJesus has returned to the team's lineup Monday against the Rockies.
DeJesus has been out of the team's lineup against left-handers lately. When a lefty is on the mound, Starlin Castro is used as the leadoff hitter. DeJesus has been significantly better against right-handed pitching over his career. In 3,139 career at-bats, DeJesus is hitting .291/.367/.451 against righties.

| David DeJesus out of Thursday's lineup |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/2/13) Cubs outfielder David DeJesus is not in the team's lineup Thursday.
DeJesus was also out of the lineup Monday. Dave Sappelt will bat leadoff and play center Thursday. DeJesus is hitting .286/.355/.548 in 84 at-bats this year.

| David DeJesus hits fourth home run |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com (5/1/13) Cubs outfielder David DeJesus went just 1 for 5 in Tuesday's loss to San Diego, but the one hit was his fourth homer of the season.
DeJesus has been a force atop the Cubs' lineup as he boasts a potent .278/.352/.557 line through April's games. DeJesus has never had a full season with a slugging percentage above .452, though, so expecting such power to remain throughout the next few months may be misguided.
Still, DeJesus has been an above-average hitter for his career (107 OPS+ in over 4,000 at-bats) and as such he makes a good leadoff man to set the table for hitters like Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo.

| David DeJesus played in the National League for the first time in his career during 2012 after signing a two-year, $10 million deal with the Cubs. He continued to show minimal pop for an outfielder as he hit just two home runs before the All-Star break while batting .271 with a .359 on-base percentage. He picked things up in the second half and finished the year with a .263 average, nine homers, 50 RBI and seven stolen bases. His ability to get on base at a decent clip will likely lead to the 32-year-old batting near the top of the lineup again in 2013 and DeJesus has the intangibles that fit well in the National League. Since he is a light-hitting outfielder, however, leave DeJesus for NL-only formats on Draft Day. (Updated 12/11/12) |
