Latest News
| Garrett Jones succeeding despite platoon role |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/13/13) Pirates first baseman Garrett Jones is off to a strong start this year.
Jones has been platooned with Gaby Sanchez throughout the year, but Jones has the benefit of facing right-handed pitchers. Jones has always been a significantly better hitter against righties. Over his career, he's hit .281/.348/.501 in 1,511 at-bats. In virtually the same role, he hit .274/.317/.516, with 27 home runs last season.
Given his slightly reduced role, and the abundance of talent at first, Jones' Fantasy value is limited in mixed leagues. But he makes a solid injury fill-in if he's facing right-handers.

Pirates blow past reeling Brewers behind Snider
Travis Snider homered for the first time in nine months and drove in three runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates past the reeling Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on Thursday night.

| Garrett Jones had a bounce-back campaign for the Pirates a year ago thanks to a strong finish. He hit 15 home runs with 49 RBI and a solid .523 slugging percentage in 74 games after the All-Star break and finished the year with a career-high 27 homers and 86 RBI. His on-base percentage dipped slightly from his down 2011 campaign but his jump in slugging percentage from .433 to .516 made a huge difference in his Fantasy value. The 31-year-old has been too inconsistent to trust in the majority of formats so far in his career, but the potential for 30 homers means he remains an intriguing option. Jones stands to see the majority of the playing time at first base in 2013 and is worth targeting in mixed leagues on Draft Day. (Updated 12/4/12) |
