Fantasy Analysis
Hairston has 14 RBI in 74 at-bats this season with a .486 slugging percentage. He serves as an extra outfielder in New York but is also a valuable bat off the bench. The 31-year-old would have more value in Fantasy with everyday at-bats but should be considered as more of a low-end option in NL-only formats at this point. (Updated 05/18/2012).
