Hart not excited about playing 1B: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Brewers OF Corey Hart isn't overly excited about the possibility of him playing some first base in 2012. Manager Bob Melvin said in mid-January Hart could play at first base as the team tries to fill the void left by Prince Fielder, who signed with Detroit. "It's asking a lot to put Matty out there for 160 (games)," Hart said. "Especially, him being a lefty. I told them whatever helps us. I'm not extremely excited but I told them I'll do whatever they want me to do. I'll be as good as they'll let me be. I'll work and do every drill they throw my way. I told Ron (Roenicke) it's there fault if I don't get good over there because I'll do as many drills and early work as I need to. I'll do everything I can and I'll get good over there if they want me to." (Updated 01/29/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The Brewers are just looking for a potential contingency plan in case Mat Gamel doesn't pan out at first base. The Brewers have more depth in the outfield than at first base right now, so Milwaukee is exploring all of its options. However, Hart is going to remain a full-time player in 2012 and should be considered a top 25 Fantasy OF on Draft Day. (Updated 01/29/2012).

After a breakout campaign in 2010, Corey Hart took a bit of a step back last season. He batted just .241 with zero homers over his first 17 games before picking up the pace. He hit .301 with a .545 slugging percentage over his last 75 games and hit 18 of his 26 home runs over that span. He was limited to 130 games due to injuries and while he batted .285 for the season, his power numbers took a hit from the season before. Still, his 26 homers, 63 RBI and .510 slugging percentage were enough to keep him relevant in Fantasy and he could become even more valuable if he could ever stay healthy for a full season. Milwaukee plans on using Hart sparingly at first base this year, which should save his legs a bit and give him some extra eligibility in Fantasy. His speed is not what it used to be but as long as he keeps hitting for average with decent power he will have his place in mixed leagues. Target Hart in the middle rounds on Draft Day.
