Fantasy Analysis
The report said that Lind remains on the 40-man roster for Toronto, which means he has not been outrighted. The 28-year-old had averaged 28 home runs with 91 RBI over the three previous seasons so it was a surprise to most owners that he got off to such a miserable start in 2012. No word yet on when the Blue Jays plan on recalling Lind so keep an eye on his progress and continue to stash him away in deeper Fantasy formats. (Updated 05/23/2012).

After following up a near-MVP performance in 2009 with a miserable 2010, Adam Lind, as you might expect, landed somewhere in the middle last year. Unfortunately, he was closer to the bad end than the good. He still produced an on-base percentage below .300. He still struck out more than three times as often as he walked. He still had nothing to contribute to Fantasy owners other than a decent number of homers. At least, that's what the final numbers say. The splits, however, tell a different story. Think back to the All-Star break, when Lind had just put together a torrid June, convincing the Fantasy-playing world that he had indeed bounced back to his 2009 form. At that point, he was hitting .300 with an .865 OPS. But he hit only .197 the rest of the way. One explanation for the steep decline is that he was hit by a pitch on the wrist in late August and was playing in pain the rest of the way, hitting only .204. Of course, it doesn't explain why he hit only .191 over the previous six weeks. Unfortunately, given the up-and-down season, the jury's still out on Lind. With back-to-back years of disappointing numbers, he's likely no more than a late-rounder on Draft Day, but at that point, you have much more to gain than lose by selecting him. (Updated 2/1/12)
