Fantasy Analysis
After another torrid spring training, Raburn has stumbled out of the gate for Detroit. It's a trend that happens to him every year. He usually doesn't heat up until the second half of the season. Raburn has low-end Fantasy appeal until he gets on a hot streak. (Updated 05/24/2012).

05/11/2012 01:26 Cabrera snaps slump, Tigers beat A's
Miguel Cabrera broke out of a slump with two RBI hits in Detroit's eight-run third inning and the Tigers went on to beat the Oakland Athletics 10-6 on Thursday.
Ryan Raburn can hit -- that much is certain. Granted, he doesn't usually begin to hit until the second half -- he has a career .300 batting average and .847 OPS after the All-Star break compared to .228 and .689 before it, hitting 29 of his 53 career homers in August and September -- but in the end, his power numbers are exactly where Fantasy owners want them to be. The problem is, after nearly four full seasons in the majors, he still doesn't have a defined role. The Tigers have tried him at second base but can't seem to overlook his defensive shortcomings there. They don't think he's consistent enough to hold down a corner outfield spot. They're obviously not going to try him at first base, and they always seem to have someone else occupying the DH role. If Raburn could get full-time at-bats, his power potential would make him an intriguing sleeper in Fantasy, especially since he's eligible at second base, but we've been down this road enough times to know how it ends. Even with the Tigers currently unsettled at DH and second base, Raburn is a sleeper better left for AL-only leagues. (Updated 1/25/12)
