Newsbreakers
December 29, 2009
The Cardinals are believed to be eyeing a potential reunion with Felipe Lopez, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Our View:
He could be another fallback option should the club fail to retain Matt Holliday. Lopez hit .310 with nine home runs and 57 RBI in 151 games between the Diamondbacks and the Brewers last season. He spent 43 games with the Cardinals in 2008.
September 14, 2009
Felipe Lopez went 1-for-4 with a single in tonight's 2-0 loss at Chicago.
Our View:
The Brewers only mustered four hits in the shutout loss. Lopez is riding a five-game hitting streak.
September 9, 2009
Felipe Lopez accounted for the Brewers lone tally on Wednesday with a solo home run off left specialist Trever Miller in the eighth inning of a 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Our View:
Lopez now has 23 RBI in 177 at-bats with the Brewers this season as opposed to 25 in 345 at-bats with the Diamondbacks. Looks like he's making the most of his opportunities with runners on since leaving the desert.
August 27, 2009
MLB.com reports that red hot infielder Felipe Lopez, dealing with atweaked tendon in the arch of his foot, is expected to return to the lineup Thursday.
Our View:
Lopez left Tuesday's game and sat out Wednesday's with the arch injury, but it isn't considered severe. No X-rays were taken and it looks like the Brewers just wanted him to rest it on Wednesday. Be sure to get him back in your lineup as he's hitting .363 with ten doubles and 19 RBI since joining the Brew Crew on July 19th.
August 26, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Brewers' beat writer Tom Haudricourt, infielder Felipe Lopez is out of Wednesday's game with a right arch injury. Lopez is hitting .363 since being traded to Milwaukee.
Our View:
No word yet on how severe this injury is, but it is serious enough to keep him out tonight. We will keep you updated on his status when news is released, but find another option for at least tonight.
August 23, 2009
Felipe Lopez went 1-for-4 with a single and an RBI in Sunday's 8-3 loss at Washington.
Our View:
The Brewers only mustered six hits in the game. Lopez has a four-game hitting streak, and is batting .349 this month. He continues to hit well since being dealt to Milwaukee.
August 2, 2009
Felipe Lopez doubled, scored a run and drove in three in the Brewers' 6-1 win over the Padres on Sunday. He finished the day 1-for-4.
Our View:
Lopez is hitting .313 with five RBI since joining the Brewers. The trade didn't make a big splash, but he's been effective for the slumping Milwaukee club.
July 24, 2009
Felipe Lopez will miss his second straight game on Friday with a "tweaked" hamstring, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
The Brewers "big addition" has played just two games for them so far. Craig Counsell will start in his place at second, while Jason Kendall will lead off.
July 22, 2009
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Felipe Lopez will be held out of Wednesday's game due to a tweaked hamstring.
Our View:
The injury apparently isn't serious and the Brewers' newest addition is being held out for precautionary measures. He's sore, but should be back in the lineup soon. Make sure to play him when returns, as he's already 5-for-8 with his new club.
July 20, 2009
Felipe Lopez isn't expected to join the Brewers in time to start tonight's game against the Pirates, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Our View:
Craig Counsell will still man second base for the Brewers tonight.
July 19, 2009
Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting on his Twitter page that the Brewers have traded for Diamondbacks' second baseman Felipe Lopez in exchange for minor league outfielder Cole Gillespie and minor legue pitcher Roque Mercedes.
Our View:
With Rickie Weeks out for the year, the Brewers have been looking for someone who can play second base every day while improving the lineup. Lopez looks like a good fit in Milwaukee, and expect the Brewers to stay active in the trade market, possibly looking for a pitcher to add to their rotation. Lopez should see an increase in his fantasy numbers hitting in a much better lineup in Milwaukee as well.
July 10, 2009
Felipe Lopez led the Diamondbacks offensively in tonight's 8-0 win over the Marlins at Chase Field, as he went 2-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. He hit a single and a three-run homer off Ricky Nolasco.
Our View:
Lopez raised his team-leading batting average to .301, and has nine RBI over 10 games this month. Keep him active in NL-only leagues while productive.
July 8, 2009
Felipe Lopez's three run homer on Wednesday capped a five run Diamondbacks eighth inning, as the Snakes rallied from a 2-1 deficit to beat San Diego 6-2 at home.
Our View:
Lopez has cooled off considerably since his hot start, but is still a decent option in deeper mixed and NL-only leagues, especially if your regular second baseman is hurt.
June 29, 2009
Felipe Lopez is likely being discussed in a potential deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
The D-Backs would be smart to ship out the journeyman infielder while he still has some value. They would lose very little longterm in moving him. Lopez is batting .305 in 285 at-bats in 2009, and is a fringe option at second base in most formats.
June 24, 2009
Felipe Lopez went 2-for-3 and recorded the Diamondbacks' lone RBI in tonight's 2-1 loss to the Rangers at Chase Field.
Our View:
Lopez raised his batting average to .307, and he extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
June 23, 2009
Felipe Lopez had his first multi-hit game since June 13 and drove in three runs as the Diamondbacks beat the Rangers 8-2 on Tuesday.
Our View:
Lopez has cooled off considerably since his hot start, and is no longer a great option at second base. He should serve as more of a fill-in or injury replacement than everyday starter.
June 2, 2009
After playing in three straight games since his return from a hamstring injury, Felipe Lopez was removed in the seventh inning of Sunday's game, according to the Arizona Republic. Manager A.J. Hinch doesn't believe that Lopez is fully recovered yet, and he may give Lopez a day off soon.
Our View:
Hinch doesn't think that Lopez is fully comfortable at the plate right now, so expect him to see some time off in the near future. Lopez has been a pleasant surprise for the D-Backs so far this year, so fantasy owners need to stay tuned for his status during the next few days.
May 28, 2009
Felipe Lopez was out of the lineup for the fourth straight game Wednesday while nursing a tight left hamstring, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
He will be held out until the soreness is gone, to help prevent the ailment from lingering further into the season. He could pinch-hit, and may be ready to return to the starting lineup Friday.
May 27, 2009
Felipe Lopez was out of the Diamondbacks' lineup for the third straight game Tuesday while nursing a tight left hamstring, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
He was available to pinch-hit, and acting manager A.J. Hinch believes Lopez will likely return to the starting lineup tonight against the Padres.
May 25, 2009
Felipe Lopez sat out a second straight game with a tight hamstring, according to the AP.
Our View:
The injury is not believed to be serious enough for a DL stint, but its possible the D-Backs hold him out another game. He has been a solid leadoff option for Arizona this season as he is hitting .323 with a .380 OBP.
May 11, 2009
Felipe Lopez was great against Cincinnati on Monday, going 3-for-4 with his fourth home run of the season.
Our View:
Lopez has been hot all year long and continues to be a must-play, whichever of his multiple eligible positions it may be that you place him in your lineup.
May 9, 2009
Felipe Lopez was 3-for-5 with two runs scored on Friday in a 4-3 loss to the Nationals.
Our View:
Lopez did his best to stick it to his former team, but the D-Backs fell short. However, Flip raised his average to .316 on the season and has been producing nice for fantasy owners this season. He is a viable and serviceable option in all leagues right now.
April 30, 2009
Felipe Lopez was 2-for-4 with a solo home run as Arizona fell to the Brewers 4-1 on Thursday. His home run came in the first at bat of the game but Arizona did not score another run with their remaining 27 outs.
Our View:
Lopez is hitting .318 despite not getting a hit in four of his last seven games. The best news is that he has only struck out 14 times in 85 at bats. In the past he has been far more prone to the strikeout. Overall, he is doing a good job as the leadoff hitter in Arizona and if their offense ever gets going, his production will do a better job of indicating that.
April 6, 2009
Felipe Lopez went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a walk in Monday's 9-8 win over the Rockies. He hit leadoff for the Diamondbacks.
Our View:
Lopez hit only six home runs in 143 games a season ago so this type of power should not necessarily be expected from him. However, Arizona is more of a hitters park than either one of his 2008 home venues. He should make a run at more than 600 at-bats with a healthy first season in Arizona.
April 1, 2009
Felipe Lopez was 2-for-4 with three RBI and hit his first home run of the spring on Wednesday.
Our View:
Lopez continues to hit this spring. We're still not sold on him though. He had 23 home runs in 2005 for the Reds, but hasn't hit more than nine in any other season. What happened to that guy?
March 31, 2009
Felipe Lopez had three hits in four trips on Tuesday. He scored two runs, walked and drove in one, and is now hitting .333 this spring.
Our View:
Lopez was as hot as they get to finish the season in St. Louis last year, but he's been wildly inconsistent in his career. God only knows what this season holds in store. Tread with caution.
March 14, 2009
Felipe Lopez was 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored in Puerto Rico's 11-1 win over Team USA on Saturday.
Our View:
Lopez will be starting in Arizona in 2009, but it's hard to project what we'll see from the historically inconsistent infielder. A breakout performance is no more likely than a collapse. A little plate discipline will go a long way to a successful season.
February 28, 2009
Felipe Lopez went 0-for-4 on Saturday against the Rangers.
Our View:
Lopez is just batting .167 so far this spring after signing a fairly lucrative one-year deal for $3.5 million after being released by the Nationals just last season.
