Jose Lopez was held out of Seattle's lineup on Monday with back stiffness, according to the Seattle Times.

Our View:

Manager Don Wakamatsu said he expects Lopez back in the team's lineup on Tuesday, and so should you. AL-only leaguers should not be worried, while most mixed-league owners probably shouldn't own him in the first place.

July 21, 2009

Our View:

Lopez extended his hitting streak to eight games, and is now tied with Russell Branyan for the team lead in RBI with 52. He also continues to lead with 22 doubles, and should remain active in fantasy lineups while swinging a hot stick.

July 3, 2009

Jose Lopez hit a go-ahead home run in the 11th inning Friday night to give the Mariners a 7-6 win over the Red Sox. Lopez finished the day 3-for-5.

Our View:

Lopez was miserable in April and May and was on his way to being one of the season's biggest fantasy busts before he broke out in June with five homers and a .329 average. Looks like it's carried over into July.

June 29, 2009

According to the Tacoma News-Tribune, the Mariners' have discussed moving second baseman Jose Lopez to third while Adrian Beltre is out after shoulder surgery. When asked if he was comfortable at third, Lopez replied, "I'm comfortable in the lineup, anywhere but catcher."

Our View:

The M's are going to be hurting defensively at third with Beltre out, but Lopez seems like a decent option since the team has guys like Ronny Cedeno and Chris Woodward who can fill-in at second. Hopefully the move, if it does happen, won't affect Lopez offensively, as he has been on fire in the month of June.

June 28, 2009

Jose Lopez led the way for the Mariners on Sunday in their 4-2 win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Lopez went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and two RBI in the win.

Our View:

Lopez doesn't look like he has missed a beat since missing a week while on the bereavement list. His is still having an excellent June, and he is starting to look like the player everyone expected him to be before the season started. He is a strong play at second base in all leagues, so keep him in the lineup going forward.

June 27, 2009

Jose Lopez was productive in Friday's 8-2 loss at the Dodgers, as he went 3-for-4 with two RBI. All three of his knocks were singles.

June 25, 2009

According to The Sports Network, the Mariners have activated second baseman Jose Lopez from the bereavement list. Lopez is in the Mariners' lineup for their Thursday afternoon game against the Padres.

Our View:

Lopez was gone to be with his sister while she was dealing with cancer, but he is back now and hopefully he can return to the way he was hitting before he left the team. Watch for Lopez to be a major fantasy player in the second half, especially if he can continue his torrid June play.

June 24, 2009

The Everett Herald reports that second baseman Jose Lopez is scheduled to be activated from the bereavement list Wednesday.

Our View:

Lopez will likely be in the starting lineup on Thursday. He was having a red hot month of June, until leaving the team to be with his sister, who tragically passed due to a battle with cancer. He should be fine to insert back into lineups tomorrow.

June 18, 2009

The Seattle Times is reporting that the Mariners have placed second baseman Jose Lopez on the bereavement list. The reason for this trip is unknown at this time, but Lopez has left San Diego, where the Mariners are currently playing an interleague series.

Our View:

Lopez has been smoking hot in the month of June, but fantasy owners should find another option at second base for the next few days. We will keep you updated on his return, but a player can only spend a maximum of seven days on the list.

June 17, 2009

Jose Lopez was 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in the Mariners 4-3 win over the Padres on Wednesday.

June 13, 2009

Jose Lopez went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer off Manny Corpas in Saturday's 5-3 loss at Colorado.

Our View:

June 10, 2009

Jose Lopez had a huge night for the Mariners as they defeated the Orioles 4-1 on Wednesday. He finished the game 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI, and two runs scored.

Our View:

Lopez had the Mariners lone RBI on Tuesday, and he has been their top run producer for the past three nights. In that stretch, he has three home runs, seven hits and six RBI.

June 9, 2009

Jose Lopez went 1-for-4 with a single, and recorded the Mariners' lone RBI in Tuesday's 3-1 loss at Baltimore.

Our View:

Lopez is swinging the stick better this month after struggling through May with a .214 batting average. He is still only worth using in AL-only leagues.

June 7, 2009

Jose Lopez went 3-for-5 and ripped his sixth home run of the season in Seattle's 4-2 win over the Twins on Sunday.

Our View:

Lopez is hitting just .236 this season, but has been picking it up lately. He doubled his home run total for the season since May 29th and has his average up from .216 on May 26th.

May 30, 2009

Jose Lopez went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's 4-3 win at the Angels.

Our View:

Lopez hit a homer in back-to-back games, but is still hitting a dismal .219 for the season. He has been a disappointment after hitting .297 with 17 homers in 2008.

May 30, 2009

Jose Lopez went deep for the fourth time this season in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels. He was 1-for-3 on the day.

Our View:

Lopez has been a major disappointment this season. He's hitting just .218 with four homers and 22 RBI after going .297/17/89 last season. If he doesn't turn it around soon, consider benching him and finding a replacement.

May 27, 2009

Jose Lopez is not in today's lineup at Oakland while nursing soreness in his legs, according to the Seattle Times.

Our View:

Ronny Cedeno will get the nod at second base. Adjust your lineups accordingly.

May 14, 2009

Jose Lopez went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 3-2 loss at Texas. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

The Mariners only managed five hits in the game. Lopez needed a solid performance as he was hitless over his previous two games.

May 3, 2009

Jose Lopez was 3-for-8 with an RBI and a run scored in the Mariners' 8-7, 15-inning win over the A's on Sunday. His RBI came in the final inning and gave the Mariners a walk-off winner.

Our View:

Lopez is only hitting .272 this season with a pair of homers and 17 RBI, but he's capable of much more. He's got very good pop for a second baseman and his power numbers were almost identical to Dustin Pedroia's last year. Expect him to heat up eventually.

April 25, 2009

Jose Lopez had a big night on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and a walk in the Mariners' 8-3 win over the Angels. Lopez raised his average to .236 on the year.

Our View:

Lopez hasn't been great so far in 2009, but he continues to show flashes of what he can do. Stick with Lopez if you have him, as his power potential is good for a second baseman.

April 23, 2009

Jose Lopez only had one hit on Wednesday, but it was a big one. Lopez hit a three run homer, but the Mariners fell to the Rays 9-3. Lopez is now hitting .208 on the year.

Our View:

Lopez has gotten off to a rough start, but he showed tonight why many people think he can be a top fantasy option at second base. Expect him to start hitting with more consistency and power as the season goes on.

April 8, 2009

Jose Lopez was 2-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday as the Mariners fell to the Twins 6-5. The homer was his first of the year.

Our View:

Lopez quietly had a strong fantasy campaign last year and should be poised to build on it in 2009 as he had a strong second half. He has the potential to hit close to .300 with 20 home runs and 100 RBI.

February 28, 2009

Jose Lopez went 1-for-3 on Saturday for Seattle with a single.

Our View:

Lopez is batting just .167 in the Cactus League so far this season. He had a great year in 2008, hitting 17 homers to go with 89 RBI and a .297 average, so hopefully he won't have a down year to follow it up.

February 14, 2009

Jose Lopez could represent Venezuela in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Final rosters must be submitted by February 24.

Our View:

The young infielder broke out with 17 homers and 89 RBI last season, and hit .300 in four of the six months. Lopez was a bright spot for a terrible Mariners' club in 2008, and he still has room to improve.
