Vernon

I guess the stretching didn't do what it was suppose to do, prevent injuries. Vernon is out for a month due to a hamstring issue. Fantasy owners who are drafting soon should take note of this and make sure you let him slide in the draft. Injuries like this usually seem to linger if not taken care of properly. Luckily this is the start of spring training and the Jays will give every opportunity possibility for him to heal and get back to 100%.

For owners who are drafting late in March make sure to keep an eye out for him. In my league I will be drafting late in March and I hope to grab him as my 3rd OF'er. Most likely won't happen but we'll see. Maybe the injury report will scare off a few people.

His ability to hit 30HRs and drive in 100RBIs while giving owners a .300AVG is something you can't help but giddy over. Also, if his legs are healthy he can throw in 5-10 steals...bonus!

Wells and Rios

Vernon Wells of the Blue Jays is back in the lineup and this is great news for everyone who owns Wells and also Alex Rios. Rios has been in a terrible slump and I attribute some of his struggles at the plate to Wells being on the DL. With Wells back in the lineup, Rios is hitting lead-off and this is good news for owners who need steals but bad for RBI production. But at this point, owners don't care as long as he gets out of his slump.

See if there is an owner out there that is willing to part with Rios for a bargain price, if there is an owner out there who does make the deal as soon as possible.

Wells

Vernon Wells of the Blue Jays is starting out strong. This is a great sign for the Blue Jays who have him locked up in a long term deal.

3HR, 8RBI, .308AVG.

Wells owners should be happy he is starting strong after a lack luster 2007 season.
