Fantasy Analysis
Lind is batting .255 with 26 homers and 86 RBI in 123 games this season as he continues to have a bounce-back campaign for the Blue Jays. Consider him a solid option in most Fantasy formats down the stretch and he should be a mid-round pick on Draft Day in 2012. (Updated 09/26/2011).

Is Brandon Morrow on the brink of a breakout? Who is Henderson Alvarez and why should he matter to you on Draft Day? Our Scott White sizes up the 2012 Blue Jays for Fantasy owners.
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)
