Fantasy Analysis
Iannetta missed three games last week after getting hit by a pitch from Twins starter Liam Hendriks. He will likely be back before the All-Star break so keep an eye on his progress going forward. Bobby Wilson will likely see a large increase in playing time in his absence. He's batting just .197 on the year with three home runs and nine RBI. Fantasy owners in deeper mixed leagues should stash Iannetta until he's able to return to the lineup. (Updated 05/11/2012).

05/11/2012 00:03 Nats, Angels had 'preliminary' talks about Bourjos trade
A FoxSports.com report states the Nationals and Angels have discussed a possible trade that would send center fielder Peter Bourjos to Washington. The talks were said to be "preliminary."
Chris Iannetta had a bounce-back campaign last season and could be in for his best year yet after being traded to the Angels in the offseason. He hit 14 homers with 55 RBI in 112 games for the Rockies in 2011, while slugging .414 and getting on base at a .370 clip. While his average continued to underwhelm (.238) he will be batting in a more potent lineup in Los Angeles and will be catching one of the better pitching staffs in the majors. Coach Mike Scioscia has been looking for a solid defensive catcher who can hit for years now and he has found one in Iannetta. The 28-year-old should be able to maintain his power despite leaving the hitter-friendly Coors Field as the likes of Albert Pujols, Vernon Wells and Torii Hunter surrounding him in the lineup should provide decent pitches to hit. Consider Iannetta a No. 2 Fantasy C on Draft Day, worthy of being taken in the later rounds. (Updated 1/11/12)
