Newsbreakers

August 8, 2009

Pablo Ozuna has been released by the Phillies, accoding to the Twitter page of Phillies' beat writer Scott Lauber. Ozuna was suspended in June for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Our View:

Ozuna is 34, and there was no reason for the Phils to keep him aboard after the positive test. He was playing in Triple-A, and he will have trouble finding work after his suspension is over.

June 11, 2009

Pablo Ozuna has been dealt a 50-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Ozuna held no fantasy value as he was playing in the minors with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The exact substance that the 34-year-old vet was suspended for was not disclosed.

March 14, 2009

Pablo Ozuna hit 3-for-4 out of the leadoff spot in Philadelphia's 5-2 win over the Astros on Saturday.

Our View:

Ozuna has proven to be a nice singles hitter this spring, but his role as a utility infielder in Philadelphia severely limits his odds of getting enough at bats to figure into fantasy leagues this season.

January 15, 2009

Delaware Online reports that the Phillies have signed utility infielder Pablo Ozuna to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Our View:

This will be Ozuna's fifth team in seven seasons and he carries a .282 career average. He provides some insurance with Chase Utley likely to miss the start of the season. He doesn't figure to have any fantasy value, unless he were to win the Opening Day starting job.
