Newsbreakers
November 12, 2009
According to the Kansas City Star, the Royals have signed third baseman Wilson Betemit to a minor league contract.
Our View:
The Royals needed someone to fill the void left by Mark Teahen, and since the organization is notoriously stingy, the Betemit move makes sense. He had a depressing .200/.280/.311 line in 45 at-bats with the White Sox last season, so he won't be popping up on any fantasy radars come draft day.
November 11, 2009
Wilson Betemit will likely sign a minor league contract with the Royals, according to FOX Sports.
Our View:
The Royals would use him as a cost-effective alternative for Mark Teahen, who was dealt to the White Sox.
June 12, 2009
TSN is reporting that the Chicago White Sox have outrighted Wilson Betemit to Triple-A after he was designated for assignment on June 4. Betemit struggled with the Sox this season, posting a .200 average in 20 games.
Our View:
Not a big shocker here. Betemit will work in Triple-A, and he will have to get his power stroke back if he wants to rejoin the Sox at any point this season. He doesn't promise to hold any fantasy value this year, so no need to monitor him while he is in the minors.
June 3, 2009
The AP reports that Wilson Betemit will be designated for assignment on Thursday in order to make room on the roster for Gordon Beckham.
Our View:
Betemit came over from the Yankees in November and open eyes with a power surge throughout spring training. However, he hit only .200 in 20 games this season.
June 2, 2009
Wilson Betemit is slated to start at third base for tonight's home game against Oakland, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Josh Fields will be riding the pine after striking out three times Monday. He is still hitting fine overall, and Betemit is not replacing him.
May 13, 2009
Wilson Betemit will serve in the DH role for today's game against the Indians at Progressive Field, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Our View:
Jim Thome is out of the lineup to rest. Betemit is hitting .281 this season over 32 at-bats and has some power. He is worth consideration for AL-only leagues if you have him on your roster.
May 10, 2009
Wilson Betemit will get the start at third base on Sunday,according to the Chicago Tribune. Betemit will be playing in place of Josh Fields, who has been struggling as of late.
Our View:
Betemit hasn't seen much playing time so far his season, but if Fields doesn't start hitting he could begin to see more. Betemit has no fantasy value at the moment, but if he begins to play on a regular basis that would change.
March 22, 2009
Wilson Betemit went 2-for-5 with his fifth home run of the spring in Sunday's 12-10 win over Oakland. He struck out once while collecting three RBI and a run scored.
Our View:
Betemit played the whole game at first base, and Ozzie Guillen has to like what he's seen of him this spring as he leads the team with 15 RBI. Look for the 27-year-old to command work at corner infield spots and DH this season, and his power could be something special at the Cell. However, he is not worth much more than a very late round flier at this point of the spring.
March 17, 2009
Wilson Betemit had another strong outing Tuesday, going 3-for-5 with three RBI in a loss to the Diamondbacks. His spring average now stands at .303 and he has racked up 11 RBI.
Our View:
Betemit is hitting the ball well this spring and looks to have secured a spot on the Sox's Opening Day roster. He'll likely be a role player, but could step in at DH if Jim Thome falls to injury.
March 15, 2009
Wilson Betemit blasted his fourth home run of the spring as the White Sox beat the Mariners 15-5 on Sunday. He was 2-for-3 with three RBI, two runs scored, and two walks while operating nine innings as the DH.
Our View:
Betemit is not hitting often, but he is hitting hard. Four of his seven hits this spring have left the park, and it looks as if he will hold a spot on the White Sox opening day roster. Aside from being a spot DH for Jim Thome, he will likely serve as a utility infielder and the occasional pinch-hitter.
March 11, 2009
Wilson Betemit started at first base and hit his second home run of the spring on Wednesday as the White Sox beat the Brewers 6-2.
Our View:
Betemit should make this team as a corner infielder, but he was terrible last season with the Yankees. He is a poor fielder and an exceptional strike out artist. If he can put last season behind him and earn the starting job at third base, he could be a nice source of power.
