Newsbreakers
July 23, 2009
David Dellucci has been designated for assignment by the Blue Jays, according to TSN. Infielder Joe Inglett was recalled from Triple-A as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Dellucci holds a dismal .185 batting average with no homers over 65 at-bats this season, and failed to make an impact with Cleveland or Toronto. His fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season does not look promising.
July 3, 2009
David Dellucci has been recalled by the Toronto Blue Jays, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian on his Twitter page. Dellucci was signed by the team in early June after being released by the Indians.
Our View:
Dellucci could see some time in the Jays' lineup, as they have yet to establish a solid DH. He has no fantasy value right now, but if he gets some opportunity, he could eventually be worth a look in AL-only leagues.
June 10, 2009
ESPN.com reports that outfielder David Dellucci has reached an agreement with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 35-year-old will report to Triple-A shortly and is expected to be promoted to the majors shortly thereafter.
Our View:
Dellucci was released by the Indians earlier this month. He could steal some starts at DH from the mediocre Kevin Millar once with the pro team. In 40 at bats this season, he was hitting .275 with one RBI.
June 8, 2009
ESPN.com is reporting that free agent outfielder David Dellucci may be interested in returning to the Texas Rangers, a team for which he played two seasons early in his career. Dellucci was released by the Indians earlier this month.
Our View:
With the status of outfielder Josh Hamilton unknown, the Rangers may show some interest in Dellucci. He can sign with any team at a prorated minimum salary, so look for the Rangers to strongly consider adding him. The Blue Jays are also said to be interested.
June 1, 2009
According to MLB.com's Noah Coslov's Twitter page, the Indians have released OF David Dellucci after designating him for assignment last Friday.
Our View:
This may be the end of the line for the veteran Dellucci. Hopefully he can sign with another team, but he is no longer a viable fantasy option in any format.
May 29, 2009
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Indians have designated David Dellucci for assignment. Dellucci hit .275 in 40 at-bats with the Indians this season.
Our View:
Dellucci has not been seeing much playing time since joining the team after his rehab assignment, and they needed his roster spot for reliever Rafael Perez. Dellucci has no fantasy value at this point.
May 1, 2009
David Dellucci made his presence felt in his first game of 2009, going 4-for-5 with two doubles and a run. He was called up today after recovering from an injury.
Our View:
Dellucci served as the DH tonight, and he should see plenty of time in the lineup with Tavis Hafner out with an injury. He has always been able to hit, so he may be worth a look in AL-only leagues while Hafner is out.
May 1, 2009
David Dellucci has been recalled by the Indians from Triple-A Columbus, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Dellucci should see some action in left field and in the DH role with Travis Hafner on the DL. He has some pop in his bat, and is worth a look for deeper AL-only leagues.
April 23, 2009
David Dellucci may require his full 15-day rehab at Triple-A Columbus before he is ready to return to the Indians, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Our View:
Dellucci has pop in his bat, but his fantasy value will be limited while serving as a reserve outfielder.
April 21, 2009
David Dellucci began his rehab assignment for Triple-A Columbus of Monday, going 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, and a run scored, according to the Columbus Dispatch. He is recovering from a strained left calf.
Our View:
Dellucci has proven to be one of the most reliable pinch hitters in baseball in recent years, and he is a serviceable starting outfielder. Not much fantasy value unless he starts every day for the Indians, but he should be a nice addition to the team when he returns.
April 13, 2009
David Dellucci could start a rehab assignment at some point next week, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He is recovering from a strained left calf.
Our View:
Dellucci has pop in his bat, but his fantasy value will be limited while serving as a backup outfielder.
April 3, 2009
David Dellucci, who is dealing with a strained left calf, is hoping he can return to the diamond at some point in April, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He said, "I will probably be here for a couple of weeks and then I will rehab at Triple-A Columbus. After that, I should be ready."
Our View:
When he is ready to return, Dellucci will only be worth holding in deeper AL-only leagues while fighting for playing time as a reserve outfielder.
March 30, 2009
David Dellucci has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Indians, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He is recovering from a strained left calf.
Our View:
Dellucci would only be useful for deeper AL-only leagues while fighting for playing time in a crowded Indians' outfield.
February 23, 2009
MLB.com reports that manager Eric Wedge stopped short of guaranteeing David Dellucci's spot on the Indians' opening day roster.
Our View:
The left-handed hitter is a platoon outfielder at best these days, and it is believed that Trevor Crowe will get an extensive look this spring. The Indians have also been working Ryan Garko and Jamey Carroll in the outfield. Dellucci is in the final year of his deal that guarantees him $4 million this season.
February 21, 2009
Cleveland outfielder David Dellucci will be absent from at least the first three Cactus League games after he cut his left thumb packing for spring training, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
The left-handed Dellucci needed three stitches and minor surgery after he dropped a trailer tailgate on the thumb of his throwing hand. Dellucci's absence should be short-lived, as he reported Saturday he is able to throw and hit off a tee without pain.
