Fantasy Analysis
Kelly and Detroit agreed to a one-year deal earlier this month to keep him in the mix at third. Kelly has played at least 113 games the last two seasons for the Tigers, but won't be getting many starts at the hot corner with Miggy sliding across the diamond. He may get some starts in the outfield, but he won't have much of an impact in 2012. Fantasy owners should consider him a low-end reserve option in AL-only formats this season. (Updated 01/24/2012).
