Newsbreakers

August 26, 2009

Gabe Kapler went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer off Marc Rzepczynski in tonight's 3-2 loss at Toronto.

Our View:

The Rays only mustered six hits in the game, and Kapler was their lone source of scoring. He had a good outing while filling in for the injured Carl Crawford in left field.

June 14, 2009

Gabe Kapler was 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run, three RBI, and a run scored in the Rays 5-4 win over the Nationals on Sunday.

Our View:

Kapler has hit a home run in each of his last three games, but those appearances have been spread out over a span of six days. His status as a fourth outfielder severely limits his fantasy value.

June 8, 2009

Gabe Kapler went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Monday's 5-3 loss at New York.

Our View:

The Rays only mustered five hits in the game. Kapler notched his first homer of the season, and does not see enough action to be useful outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

January 12, 2009

The St. Petersburg Times reports that the Tampa Bay Rays have signed free-agent outfielder Gabe Kapler to a one-year deal worth $1 million.

Our View:

Kapler hit eight home runs and drove in 38 RBI in reserve duty a year ago with the Brewers. The 33-year-old was perhaps baseball's hottest hitter the first few weeks of the season in 2008, going 11-for-26 with four home runs and 11 RBI.

January 9, 2009

Gabe Kapler is on the Phillies' radar as they seek out a right-handed bat off of the bench, according to Fox Sports.

Our View:

Kapler is a good player who is at his best when he is not over-exposed. He hit .301 in 229 at-bats last season.

January 6, 2009

The Rays remain interested in Gabe Kapler even after reeling in Pat Burrell, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Our View:

Kapler would provide insurance in the outfield if B.J. Upton is not fully recovered from shoulder surgery at the start of the new season.
