Newsbreakers

August 13, 2009

Joe Dillon has been outrighted to the minors by the Rays, according to TSN.

Our View:

He accepted a minor league assignment, and will report to Triple-A Durham. The 34-year-old vet hit .300 with one homer over 30 brief at-bats with the Rays this season.

August 8, 2009

According to Marc Lancaster of the Tampa Tribune, the Rays have designated infielder Joe Dillon for assignment.

Our View:

Dillon hit .300 for the Rays in 30 at-bats this season, but the team needed to clear a roster spot for Russ Springer. He's 34 so it's not likely someone else will pick him up.

May 26, 2009

TSN is reporting that the Rays have selected the contract of Joe Dillon to replace shortstop Jason Bartlett, who was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday.

Our View:

Dillon may see some playing time, but for the most part he should be used in more of a utility role. He has no fantasy value, but he should provide some much needed depth for the Rays on the infield.

May 11, 2009

Joe Dillon has been shipped from Oakland to Tampa Bay to complete the Adam Kennedy trade, according to TSN.

Our View:

The 33-year-old vet is a career .257 hitter in the majors, and offers no speed or power. He is not expected to be fantasy-worthy with his new club.

January 7, 2009

Joe Dillon has been designated for assignment by the Athletics to make room for slugger Jason Giambi on the roster, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

The 33-year-old utility man holds a .257 average over 187 career at-bats in the majors.
