Newsbreakers

October 3, 2009

Fernando Tatis led the Mets attack on Saturday with a 2-for-4, two-RBI performance in their 5-1 win over the Astros.

Our View:

Tatis now has four consecutive two-hit games and has multiple hits in five of his last six contests. He's been a nice super utility guy for the Mets in their injury-riddled season, clubbing eight homers and driving in 48.

September 28, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 2-for-4 with an RBI in tonight's 2-1 loss at Washington. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

The Mets only had seven hits, and Tatis was their lone source of scoring. Tatis has a hit in three straight games, and is batting .333 in September.

September 26, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Marlins.

Our View:

The Mets super utility player has been good the last two months, hitting .310 in August and .317 in September. Not bad for someone who gets erratic playing time. Still, for that reason, he's not a very good fantasy option.

September 13, 2009

Fernando Tatis exited Sunday's game against the Phillies due to a sprained left index finger.

Our View:

Jeremy Reed replaced Tatis in left field and the Mets utility man is considered day-to-day. Still, the way injuries have plagued New York this season, you never know what to expect.

August 28, 2009

Fernando Tatis doubled in what the Mets thought was the go ahead run in the eighth inning on Friday, only to see the Cubs score four of their own in the bottom of the inning for a 5-2 win at Wrigley Field.

Our View:

Tatis is batting .260 this season, but isn't anyone's idea of a legitimate number five hitter. That's what he will be, however, as the Mets play out of the string this season.

August 26, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday, but the injury ravaged Mets couldn't overcome the Marlins, losing 5-3 in Miami.

Our View:

Tatis' continued presence in the starting lineup is a testament to the Mets' miserable 2009 season like few things are, but the the 34-year-old utilityman has managed to hit .253 in 95 games for the Amazins this year.

August 12, 2009

Fernando Tatis led the Mets in their 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, as the ageless infielder went 3-for-4 with an RBI.

Our View:

Even if you win, it's never a good sign to be led by Fernando Tatis, and the Amazins will be in trouble if he's still propelling them to victory in 2010.

August 10, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 1-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in tonight's 7-4 loss at Arizona.

Our View:

Tatis performed well tonight, but is only hitting .235 over 17 at-bats this month. He will likely see less action when Gary Sheffield is ready to return from his hamstring injury.

August 7, 2009

The Mets scored three runs on Thursday, but Fernando Tatis got the only RBI. Alex Cora scored on an error in the sixth, while Daniel Murphy "knocked" in a run on a double-play in the same inning. The Amazins lost 8-3 in San Diego.

Our View:

It's probably never a good night when Fernando Tatis is the bright spot, and he has been the bright spot far too often for the Mets in '09. A .245 average and 26 RBI usually relegate a player to pinch-hitting duties, but in New York they just call him their starting left-fielder.

July 27, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 1-for-1 with a grand slam off Franklin Morales in tonight's 7-3 win over the Rockies at Citi Field.

Our View:

Tatis entered the game as a pinch-hitter, and now has three homers in July. The 34-year-old vet does not see enough action to be useful in fantasy leagues.

July 2, 2009

The ageless Fernando Tatis had a huge day in the Mets' extra inning win on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with four runs scored, two RBIs and a home run.

Our View:

It was his first home run since May 13. Tatis' comeback is a great story, but he isn't worth of a roster spot in any format.

May 16, 2009

According to Newsday, Fernando Tatis is in the lineup as the Mets' starting first baseman on Saturday. He is slotted in the sixth spot in the order.

Our View:

With Randy Johnson on the mound the Mets are packing the lineup full of righties. Still, expect Tatis to get a fair amount of starts at first with Carlos Delgado on the DL for an undetermined amount of time.

May 13, 2009

Fernando Tatis made a big impact filling in for Carlos Delgado on Tuesday. He was 3-for-5 with a grand slam in the Mets' 12-inning 8-7 loss to the Braves.

Our View:

Tatis is decent fantasy fill-in for Delgado owners or for a team in need of a short term impact bat. In limited time this season he has two homers eight RBI and a .358 average. Plus he's Mr. Grand Slam.

May 11, 2009

Fernando Tatis will start at first base for the Mets for at least the next few games as Carlos Delgado sits and recovers from a sore right hip, according to the New York Daily News.

Our View:

Tatis is hitting .341 on the season and has three multi-hit games in his last five starts. He'll be a fine option in NL-only lineups whenever he's set to get at-bats, and it looks like he will for at least the next several games.

May 9, 2009

Fernando Tatis will start in left field today against the Pirates at Citi Field, according to MetsBlog.com.

Our View:

Daniel Murphy will not be in the lineup, and Gary Sheffield will roam in right field. Tatis is hitting .313 over 32 at-bats with one homer and two stolen bases, and is worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues if you have him on your roster.

April 29, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a steal in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins. His home run was upheld after an official review.

Our View:

Tatis has been handling first base with Carlos Delgado (hip) out, and he could continue to see regular work if Delgado's injury doesn't improve. Usually, though, Tatis is just a backup without much value.

April 29, 2009

As expected, Fernando Tatis will start at first base again on Wednesday, according to MetsBlog.com. Carlos Delgado remains out due to a sore right hip.

Our View:

Tatis is 2-for-7 over the last two days against the Marlins, but he is not a good fantasy play against Josh Johnson.

March 24, 2009

Fernando Tatis went 1-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 8-0 loss to Houston.

Our View:

That marked his third double of the Grapefruit League, and he is hitting .385. Tatis should see enough at-bats in a platoon role in the outfield to be useful for NL-only leagues. He has some pop in his bat as he hit 11 homers over 273 at-bats in 2008.

March 18, 2009

Fernando Tatis was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and two walks on Wednesday. He got the start at third base and is hitting .400 this spring.

Our View:

Tatis has little fantasy value as a role player, but he is at the top of the Mets' depth chart and should anyone go down, he would assume regular playing time.

March 14, 2009

Fernando Tatis was 3-for-4 with an RBI while playing nine innings at first base in the Mets 6-2 loss to the Nationals on Saturday.

Our View:

Tatis will likely accept another reserve role this season, but he will be the first player inserted into the lineup if an injury strikes. He provides some nice versatility off of the bench, with good pop in his bat.

March 5, 2009

Updating an earlier report, Fernando Tatis has decided to accept the Dominican Republic's offer to replace Alex Rodriguez on their roster for the World Baseball Classic, according to Newsday.

Our View:

Tatis had a bounce back year for the Mets in 2008, hitting 11 home runs in 273 at-bats. He began his career as a third baseman, but it's unclear at this time what his role will be in the Classic.

March 5, 2009

Newsday reports that Fernando Tatis has been targeted to replace A-Rod on the Dominican Republic's WBC roster. Tatis is uncertain whether he will accept and seemed surprised with how quickly the situation materialized.

Our View:

The WBC would be a nice place to get noticed but Tatis likely needs to stay close to the Mets if he wants to win significant playing time. Tatis is purely a platoon/depth player unless one of the Mets' starters go down with an injury.

March 4, 2009

Fernando Tatis was 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Mets 6-4 loss to Washington on Wednesday. It was his first home run of the season.

Our View:

The 34-year-old will battle for starts in a corner outfield spot, but he will not likely play everyday unless the Mets suffer an injury. He had been out of majors for two years before coming back in 2008 but he proved that there is still plenty of life in his bat.

February 26, 2009

Fernando Tatis is expected to play Friday, according to the NY Daily News. He is nursing a hand injury.

Our View:

Tatis has some pop in his bat and he knows how to get on base as he held a .369 OBP in 2008, but his fantasy value will be limited as a reserve outfielder.

February 24, 2009

Outfielder Fernando Tatis has no idea how he injured his right hand, but manager Jerry Manuel seems to think it occurred as the result of Tatis performing "the drill," a new workout Manuel designed that requires a player to take 80 consecutive swings with a bat without stopping, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Tatis said the pain was severe enough that he couldn't grip a bat the next day. And even though Manuel contends his outfielder should be able to go, Tatis said he intends to sit out the Mets' opening exhibition game on Wednesday.
