Hart's move to 1B not permanent : Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Monday that outfielder Corey Hart's move to first base for Monday's contest against the Giants is not a permanent move, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Roenicke added that he made the move because San Francisco had left-hander Madison Bumgarner on the mound and he said he might put Hart, who made his second career start at first base on Monday, there again on Wednesday with Barry Zito listed as the scheduled starter. "There's no way to get him comfortable unless we just put him out there," the skipper said. "He'll be in the wrong position at times but we'll just go through. I think because of the two years he spent there (in the minors), it should come back pretty quick." (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Roenicke said on Sunday that he team isn't interested in moving Hart between first base and the outfield, but it sounds like that is exactly what may end up happening now. It appears Hart will play first base whenever there is a left-hander on the mound -- at least for the short term -- and then move back into the outfield on other days. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on where he is penciled in on the lineup card to see if when and if he will gain first-base eligibility. Obviously, that would boost his Fantasy appeal, which is already pretty, especially now that he is starting to heat up at the plate. Hart is batting .325 with two homers, six doubles and five RBI in his last nine games so leave him active in all formats heading into Week 8 (May 21-27). (Updated 05/21/2012).

Miguel Batista pitched seven shutout innings of four-hit ball and Daniel Murphy supplied the offense, sending the surprising New York Mets to a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
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. Unfortunately, he might have to open the 2012 season on the disabled list after having early March knee surgery. 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.
