Newsbreakers

October 27, 2009

Miguel Cairo was left off the Phillies' World Series roster, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. The club opted to carry hurler Brett Myers instead.

Our View:

Cairo did not register any hits over five at-bats during the previous two rounds of the playoffs.

October 6, 2009

Miguel Cairo has made the Phillies' 25-man roster for the NLDS, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

As a surprise, Cairo made it while fellow infielder Eric Bruntlett did not. The Phillies stuck with Bruntlett all season, and he has the versatility to serve at several positions.

August 23, 2009

Miguel Cairo has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Our View:

He is taking the roster spot of injured bench player Greg Dobbs. Obviously, his role will be very limited, and he has no value even in NL-only formats.

May 19, 2009

Miguel Cairo has been outrighted to Triple-A by the Phillies, according to TSN. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week.

Our View:

The 35-year-old infielder is a career .265 hitter in the majors. He held no fantasy value as a utility man.

May 16, 2009

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, utility man Miguel Cairo has been designated for assignment.

Our View:

Cairo had just two hits in 16 at-bats this season and wasn't making even a fantasy ripple. He was moved to make room for Saturday's starter Andrew Carpenter.

April 4, 2009

Miguel Cairo will be on the Phillies' opening day roster, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our View:

He will serve as a right-handed utility man for the Phillies, and is not expected to hold much fantasy value. He only hit .249 over 221 at-bats with Seattle in 2008, with no homers and five stolen bases.

February 28, 2009

Miguel Cairo showed some power on Saturday, going 2-for-3 with a home run and a double. He scored two runs to go with his one RBI.

Our View:

Cairo will just be a utility guy with the Phillies if he makes the club, so he won't have any fantasy value.

February 15, 2009

The Phillies inked utility man Miguel Cairo to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training on Sunday, according to The News Journal.

Our View:

Cairo played six positions last season and his versatility should help him stick to the 25-man roster coming out of camp.
