Fantasy Analysis
Maier hit .232 and drove in seven runs while appearing in 45 games as the Royals' fourth outfielder last year, when he made $459,000. The former first-round draft pick is a career .253 hitter in 327 games. The 29-year-old Maier is the longest-tenured player on the club's 40-man roster. However, he isn't expected to challenge for a starting spot this spring, so continue to ignore Maier in Fantasy. (Updated 01/17/2012).
