Fantasy Analysis
Guerrero to the Yankees six or seven years ago would have sounded fantastic. But Guerrero isn't the player he used to be. He did have a resurgent year in 2010 with the Rangers before struggling in 2011 with Baltimore, so perhaps signing with the Yankees could mean a productive season for the veteran slugger. But it won't be a given. Unless he signs with the Yankees, then Guerrero is likely an option for owners in league-specific Fantasy formats for the 2012 season. (Updated 01/17/2012).
10/14/2011 16:53 By the Numbers: Outfield/DH hits and misses
As the saying goes, you can't win 'em all. Our Al Melchior knows that, but he tries anyway. Here, he takes a look back at what went right and what when oh so wrong in his By the Numbers 2011 predictions recap, outfielders and designated hitters edition.
After a resurgent year with the Rangers in 2010, Vladimir Guerrero resumed his downward spiral last year, looking just as unproductive for the Orioles as he did during his final year with the Angels in 2009. Even worse, actually. Dismissing his rookie 1997 season, Guerrero produced career lows in homers (13) and OPS (.733). It's not a big surprise, really. He relied on a hitter's haven in Texas to return him to Fantasy relevance in 2010. Of course, Camden Yards is a hitter's park in its own right, and Guerrero was fairly productive there. He just wasn't able to muster anything on the road, hitting only three homers in 280 at-bats. Guerrero's impressive bat control still makes him a good source of batting average, but his power is clearly running out at age 36. And now that pitchers no longer have any incentive to pitch around him, his swing-at-anything approach kills his on-base percentage. Guerrero still might end up being a low-end contributor in mixed leagues if he lands in another hitter's park, but in anything less than a full-time role, this DH-only player is one better left for AL-only leagues.
