Newsbreakers

December 18, 2009

Jamey Carroll contract with the Dodgers is worth $3.85 million over two years, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Our View:

Carroll will provide nice value to the Dodgers as a utility man capable of playing just about any position on the field, though it's unlikely he'll get consistent enough playing time to bother with in fantasy.

December 16, 2009

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that, pending a physical, Jamey Carroll has agreed to a two-year contract with the Dodgers.

Our View:

Competition for the super-utility player was fierce, but he looks to have settled on the Dodgers. In 93 games with the Indians last season, he hit .276 with 26 RBI while playing at four different positions.

December 16, 2009

Jamey Carroll is expected to choose today between a two-year offer from either the A's or Dodgers, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

Our View:

Carroll provided fine value as a utilityman to Cleveland last season and would likely do the same in either Oakland or Los Angeles. Unfortunately, his fantasy value is slim to none.

December 5, 2009

The Reds are interested in infielder Jamey Carroll, according to MLBblogs.com.

Our View:

GM Walt Jocketty noted that Cincinnati did not talk about him at length yet, but like his toughness and his hard-nosed personality. The veteran could compete for the starting role at shortstop if signed.

December 3, 2009

The Rockies have discussed Jamey Carroll, according to the Denver Post.

Our View:

The 35-year-old could play multiple positions, and the Rockies could namely use him to spell Todd Helton at first. He is a decent hitter, but his fantasy value would be limited as a utility man.

November 18, 2009

The Marlins are reportedly interested in Jamey Carroll, according to MLB reporter Alden Gonzalez's twitter page.

Our View:

Carroll's agent noted that Florida has not been as aggressive as other teams however. Ten other MLB clubs are believed to be interested in the 35-year-old infielder.

November 12, 2009

Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse reports via Twitter that nine teams are supposedly interested in Cleveland utility man Jamey Carroll.

Our View:

The 35-year-old Carroll hit .276 with a pair of homers, 26 RBI and a .355 OBP in 93 games with the Tribe last year. He has some value as a spot starter, pinch hitter and defensive replacement and is a versatile player. The Dodgers and A's appear to be most interested, but seven other teams are reportedly in the mix as well.

September 19, 2009

Jamey Carroll went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the Indians 8-4 loss to the A's on Saturday.

Our View:

Carroll has just 25 RBI on the season and Saturday's tally was just his third this month. He's slugging a meager .327 in September.

August 9, 2009

Jamey Carroll performed very well in Sunday's 8-4 win at Chicago, as he went 2-for-5 with three RBI. He hit a double and a solo homer off Scott Linebrink.

Our View:

Carroll has two hits in three of his last four games, and raised his season average to .295. He is worth consideration for AL-only leagues while hot.

June 7, 2009

Jamey Carroll went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in the Indians' 8-4 win over the White Sox on Sunday.

Our View:

Carroll is now hitting .345 this season, and even though he's only racked up 55 at-bats he should see plenty of time moving forward. He's worth a look in AL-only leagues for sure.

May 12, 2009

The Indians have activated Jamey Carroll from the DL and have sent down Josh Barfield in a corresponding move, according to the Miami Herald. Carroll has not played this season while recovering from a broken hand.

Our View:

Carroll should get plenty of playing time in the infield going forward, so he may be worth a look in AL-only leagues down the line. For now, watch to see how he performs over the next few weeks.

May 8, 2009

Jamey Carroll is ready to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Columbus today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. He has been recovering from a broken left hand.

Our View:

Carroll is hopeful to return to the Indians by the end of the month. He is a decent hitter and will hold some value in deeper AL-only leagues while serving as a backup infielder.

April 8, 2009

According to MLB.com, Jamey Carroll will not need surgery on his broken left hand. He will heal the injury with rest and rehab and will remain out of the lineup for 4-6 weeks.

Our View:

Carroll is not a viable fantasy option due to the fact that he's only a reserve and doesn't produce much while he's in the lineup. Tony Graffanino will fill in for him while he's out.

April 6, 2009

Jamey Carroll has been placed on the 15-day DL with a broken bone in his left hand, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Indians recalled Tony Graffanino from Triple-A as the adjoining move.

Our View:

Carroll is eligible to be activated on April 20, and this marks his first trip to the DL in his six-year career. He hit .295 over 20 spring games, but his fantasy value will be limited as a reserve.

February 23, 2009

Jamey Carroll will see some work in the outfield this spring training, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Carroll played all over the infield last season, but saw just one game in the outfield. There is not much more playing time available there as that is one of the Indians' strengths. Look for Carroll to be a super-sub type player this season.
