DeJesus got two more assists Friday night when the Royals extended their winning streak to five games with a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians in 12 innings at Progressive Field.

David DeJesus leads the Kansas City Royals with 46 walks. That is one behind Los Angeles’ Matt Kemp, who has 47 walks. OK … so what’s the big deal? Here’s the big deal: Matt Kemp is EIGHTH on the Dodgers in walks. Eighth.

I understand the hometeam's broadcast will tilt toward PR for the hometeam. There are a number of reasons, including the one Frank White has mentioned a few times: "We have to get on the plane with these guys." But are we really to the point where we're going to push David DeJesus for a Gold Glove? There are any number of reasons this is silly, starting with the fact left fielders don't win Gold Gloves, and especially not left fielders who are moved ...

His career OBA of .354 and slugging percentage of .422 won’t win him any awards, but they make him a useful player. The Red Sox, however, turned him into Mario Mendoza. DeJesus’s career numbers against the Red Sox come in at .214/.297/.359, showing once [...] Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:40:01 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/DeJesus_8217s_Miracle/790285 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/DeJesus_8217s_Miracle/790285 http://www.yardbarker.com/mlb/article_external/DeJesus_8217s_Miracle/790285 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/1/2/124a91f23d2657f313dc8e547e270b8d93b683ea/small/MLB_MAY_19_d404.jpg CLEVELAND | Perhaps outfielder David DeJesus can use the boost that interleague competition typically provides to jump-start his disappointing season. The Royals open a 15-game stretch tonight against National League opponents when Cincinnati comes to Kauffman Stadium for the first time since 1999. Arizona and St. Louis complete a nine-game homestand before the Royals hit the road for Houston and Pittsburgh.

Moore claims that the price on David DeJesus will be high and he has no interest in trading Mark Teahan.

That means that now's the time to put the last 2 weeks behind you and turn your attention to week three. While the first 2 weeks of the 2007 season have been frustrating to many as rain, sleet, and snow have postponed many games, comfort can be taken in the fact that those games will be made up at a later date. Those mid-summer makeup games will come in handy during the stretch run of your fantasy season. That is of course if you can keep your head above water until then. If the weather and cold starts has your head spinning already, just remember the season is a marathon and rabbits don't necessarily make good long-distance runners. All you can do is make the most of every free agent move and put the right guys on the field. Fortunately the GNUru is here to help with your week 3 lineup decisions.
