Newsbreakers
December 30, 2009
Juan Uribe has agreed to a deal to remain with the Giants in 2010, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.
Our View:
The likely one-year pact will be finalized after he passes a physical. Uribe was excellent for the Giants in 122 games in 2009, batting .289 with 16 home runs and 55 RBI while playing multiple positions.
December 28, 2009
The Giants are believed to be close to re-signing Juan Uribe, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Uribe fit in well with San Francisco in 2009, and batted .289 with a .329 OBP over 122 games. The veteran infielder will turn 31 in March.
December 24, 2009
FoxSports.com reports that utility man Juan Uribe is close to returning to the Giants.
Our View:
Uribe hit .289 with an .824 OPS in 398 at-bats last season. He was one of the better Giants hitters down the stretch, but he still may not be an everyday option for them. If he becomes one, he deserves to be bumped up draft boards.
December 8, 2009
According to the San Jose Mercury News, Juan Uribe's agent may be willing to revisit the Giants one-year offer with an option.
Our View:
This is far from a guarantee, but Uribe's people may be willing to think about the Giants offer. The infielder had a tremendous season in 2009, hitting .299 with 15 homers and 53 RBI, and was a steal at a $1 million minor league contract last January.
September 27, 2009
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Juan Uribe is lobbying to stick with the Giants next season.
Our View:
The 30-year-old infielder is having a surprisingly dominant season and could be an option for the Giants next year at second base. It would allow them to neglect Freddy Sanchez's option and get similar or better production at the position for a more modest price. Uribe was signed to a $1 million minor league deal in January and with a .299/.337/.505 line on top of his 15 homers and 53 RBI he's one of the best bargains in the National League.
September 26, 2009
The red hot Juan Uribe churned out another fine performance on Saturday. The shortstop went 3-for-4 with a homer and the only two Giant RBI in a 6-2 loss to the Cubs.
Our View:
Uribe now has seven homers and 20 RBI this month, and his explosive September has turned him into a fantasy darling down the stretch.
September 25, 2009
Juan Uribe went 1-for-3 with a single in tonight's 3-0 loss to the Cubs at AT&T Park.
Our View:
The Giants only mustered two hits in the shutout loss. Uribe extended his hitting streak to six games, and is batting .353 this month.
September 24, 2009
Juan Uribe went 2-for-3 with three RBI on Wednesday, as the Giants won 5-2 in Arizona.
Our View:
Uribe has been one of the majors' most productive hitters in September, batting .359 with six home runs and 18 RBI.
September 16, 2009
Juan Uribe went 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and three RBI in the Giants 10-2 blowout win over the Rockies.
Our View:
Uribe is hitting north of .370 this month with five homers and 14 RBI. He also has multiple hits in his last three games.
September 13, 2009
Juan Uribe just keeps on hitting. The shortstop was 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in the Giants 7-2 win over the Dodgers Sunday.
Our View:
Uribe is hitting a tick under .350 with five homers and ten RBI in the month of September. Who said the Giants don't have any thunder in the middle of their lineup? Uribe is hitting like Bonds right now.
September 12, 2009
Juan Uribe went 1-for-3 with a double in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Dodgers at AT&T Park.
Our View:
The Giants only had five hits in the game. Uribe continues to fare well at the plate, as he is hitting .305 over 36 at-bats in September.
September 7, 2009
Juan Uribe had a strong day at the plate in Monday's 9-4 win over the Padres at AT&T Park, as he went 3-for-4 with five RBI and three runs scored. He hit a triple and two homers, one off Clayton Richard and the other Edward Mujica.
Our View:
Uribe hit four homers over seven games in September, after hitting four in the entire month of August.
September 2, 2009
Juan Uribe went 3-for-3 and hit his ninth homer of the season in a 4-0 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.
Our View:
The homer was a two-run shot off Rookie of the Year candidate J.A. Happ that came in the sixth-inning. Five of Uribe's nine homers this season have come since August 12th.
August 12, 2009
Juan Uribe ended a testy day in San Francisco on Wednesday. The diminutive shortstop hit a towering two run home run in the 10th inning to help the Giants beat the Dodgers 4-2 on a day where two Giants coaches got ejected, the benches emptied and multiple awful calls went against San Francisco.
Our View:
Uribe, with five on the season, doesn't hit too many home runs, but when he does they tend to be of the majestic variety. He also doesn't drive in too many runs, steal too many bases or start too many games, but with a .280 average, he's not a bad reserve SS/2B/3B for NL-only formats.
August 11, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Giants' infielder Juan Uribe is suffering from a hamstring injury that kept him out of Monday's game. The injury is not expected to be serious, as Uribe was available to pinch-hit last night.
Our View:
Uribe should be fine, and he could play as soon as tonight. He has no fantasy value to speak of, but he has been an offensive catalyst for the Giants as of late.
August 1, 2009
Juan Uribe went 0-for-1 but notched two RBI in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Phillies at AT&T Park. Both RBI were recorded on a sacrifice fly.
Our View:
Uribe was the lone source of scoring for the Giants in each of the last two games, but still does not garner attention.
August 1, 2009
Juan Uribe went 1-for-2 with a double, and recorded the Giants' lone RBI in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Phillies at AT&T Park.
Our View:
The Giants only mustered four hits in the game against opposing hurler Cliff Lee. Uribe snapped a nine-game skid without an RBI, and only has 22 for the season.
July 7, 2009
Juan Uribe provided Barry Zito all the offense he needed on Tuesday, going 2-for-2 with a home run and two RBIs, as the Giants beat the Marlins 3-0 at home.
Our View:
Uribe has been solid at the bottom of the Giants lineup this season, but no longer warrants fantasy consideration.
June 22, 2009
Juan Uribe missed Monday's game at Oakland while dealing with a strained hamstring, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
He is having trouble moving laterally, and the Giants are hoping he can avoid a trip to the DL. Uribe is hitting .293, and has provided nice depth to the Giants' infield as he has started one game at second base, six games at shortstop and 23 at third.
May 22, 2009
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Juan Uribe has activated from the bereavement list. Eugenio Velez was sent back to Triple-A.
Our View:
Uribe has been in the Dominican Republic this week. He does not hold much fantasy value as a backup infielder on the Giants.
May 21, 2009
Juan Uribe is expected to remain on the bereavement list for tonight's game at San Diego, according to the Mercury News.
Our View:
He is dealing with a family matter in the Dominican Republic. Uribe should remain held out of fantasy lineups.
May 16, 2009
Juan Uribe has been put on the bereavement list by the San Francisco Giants in order to deal with a personal family matter, according to the San Jose Mercury News. He will be replaced by Kevin Frandsen on the roster.
Our View:
It was not specified what the issue is, but in any case we hope nothing but the best for Uribe and his family.
March 30, 2009
Juan Uribe went 2-for-5 with two home runs, two runs scored, and three RBI as the Giants fell to the Rangers 7-5 on Monday.
Our View:
After a slow start to the spring, Uribe has picked it up. The Giants have a load of talented young infielders, and it remains to be seen what Uribe's roll will be, if anything.
March 10, 2009
Juan Uribe collected two hits in three at-bats and drove in a run Tuesday in the Giants' 6-4 win over Texas.
Our View:
While with the White Sox last season, Uribe played in 110 games, his fewest since 2004. With a cluttered San Francisco infield, it's hard to imagine Uribe, who hit just .247 in 2008, landing anything more than a bench role, which would limit his playing time even further.
February 26, 2009
Shortstop Juan Uribe began his quest for a starting spot on the 25-man roster rather promisingly Thursday, driving in a pair of runs in three trips to the plate in the Giants' 16-7 loss to the Dodgers.
Our View:
We don't expect Uribe to beat out free-agent acquisition Edgar Renteria for the starting shortstop spot, but with a strong spring showing he could assert himself as a leading candidate for a utility role.
January 29, 2009
Juan Uribe has signed a minor league deal with the Giants, according to Sports Illustrated. He is expected to receive $1 million if he makes the club out of spring training.
Our View:
Uribe would not hold much fantasy value as a utility infielder, especially with a .296 OBP in 2008. It is uncertain if the Giants will still consider adding Joe Crede.
January 28, 2009
The Cubs are reportedly interested in Juan Uribe, according to Bruce Levine of ESPN Radio.
Our View:
He would be used as a backup infielder and pinch-hitter by Chicago, and his fantasy value would be limited.
