Yardbarker: David DeJesus

Wainwright for Carpenter, Carpenter for Wainwright, Somebody for DeJesus

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:00:33 -0500

At the P-D they're taking good advantage of the Cardinals' dual Cy Young candidates, as they've gotten both Wainwright and Carpenter on record as being Spartacus. (I would have liked one more, maybe PINEIRO: Why Joel Pineiro should win the Cy Young.) For my money Wainwright's take on Carpenter is more interesting: But we should talk about this year. This year he just out-executed everybody. If he wouldn't have lost that time because of inj...

Perception: David DeJesus and Willie Bloomquist

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 14:24:55 -0500

David DeJesus led off the game today with a walk. That is itself isn’t all that interesting or noteworthy, but it got me thinking about the Royals leadoff situation as well as the general perception surrounding the 2009 seasons of DJ and Willie Bloomquist. You might recall that before Crisp got hurt several people, myself included, [...]

According to Royals Report one of the bigger Royals blogs, Kansas City has quietly been recieving calls about Mark Teahan, David DeJesus and some of their relievers.No specific teams have been mentioned and it doesn't sound like there have been any substantial offers, but I passed it along because the Mets have had a long history of trading with the Royals, including during Omar's admin. and Teahan would be a perfect fit...Real quiet at this point for the #Royals on the trade front.

DeJesus’s Miracle

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:40:01 -0500

David DeJesus hits well for a Royals player. 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 [...]

Lineup Literacy: Week 3

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 00:21:37 -0500

The first two weeks of the 2007 Fantasy Baseball season are about to come to a close. 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.
