Newsbreakers

July 24, 2009

Fred Lewis went 3-for-3 with two runs scored in tonight's 3-1 win at Colorado. He hit a single, double and a triple.

Our View:

Lewis was in need of a solid performance, as he was hitting .167 over 24 at-bats this month heading into tonight's game. He is only an option for deeper fantasy leagues.

June 20, 2009

Fred Lewis led the Giants in Friday's 6-4 win over the Rangers at AT&T Park, as he went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer off Scott Feldman.

Our View:

Lewis ended a 16-game drought without a homer, and now has four for the season. He also snapped a 12-game skid without an RBI.

May 13, 2009

Fred Lewis sat out Tuesday's game while nursing a toe injury, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. He was available to pinch-hit if needed.

Our View:

The Giants did not disclose if he will return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals. He is hitting .286 with a .390 OBP, but is yet to launch a homer and only swiped two bases. His 36 strikeouts over 105 at-bats are hurting fantasy owners as well.

May 2, 2009

Outfielder Fred Lewis has been dropped out of the leadoff spot and will now hit sixth in the order, the San Francisco Chronicle confirms. Randy Winn will be the new leadoff hitter.

Our View:

Lewis is hitting .300 and has a .417 OBP, but he has hit only .129 (4-for-31) in the top spot and is striking out way too much. This move will hurt Lewis' run potential and give a little boost to Winn.

April 26, 2009

Outfielder Fred Lewis will get the day off on Sunday against the Diamondbacks, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Randy Winn slides over to left field and will bat leadoff, and Nate Schierholtz will get his first start of the year.

Our View:

Nothing against Mr. Lewis, but it's about time that the Giants gave Schierholtz a start. The Giants still envision Nate as a future starter, but he continues to be blocked by Lewis, Winn, and Aaron Rowand.

April 9, 2009

Fred Lewis was a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs scored Thursday against the Brewers in the Giants' 7-1 victory.

Our View:

Lewis batted in the three slot in the lineup, and it appears that he won't be moving from that spot any time soon. He batted nearly .400 in the spring and now has five hits in nine at-bats this season. His average currently sits at .556.

April 1, 2009

Fred Lewis was 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored on Wednesday. He is now hitting a sizzling .387 this spring.

Our View:

The man who replaced Barry Bonds actually had a pretty productive season last year. He's a nice option for steals in NL-only leagues, but he won't hold much mixed value unless he ups his home run total from last year (nine), something that may not happen with his extreme groundball rate.

March 9, 2009

Fred Lewis went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI Sunday as the Giants defeated the A's 10-1 in a split squad matchup.

Our View:

The 28-year-old Lewis flourished in his first full season in the bigs in 2008, batting .282 with 132 hits in 133 games. He should be that much more confident in every phase of the game with a year now under his belt.

February 25, 2009

Fred Lewis, who underwent bunion surgery last season, will be the only regular member of the Giants to sit out today's exhibition game against Cleveland, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

The club is being cautious with him, and skipper Bruce Bochy expects Lewis to participate in the home opener against the Dodgers on Thursday. Nate Schierholtz will start in his absence.

February 23, 2009

Fred Lewis, who underwent bunion surgery last season, is set to participate in today's base-running drill, according to the SF Chronicle.

Our View:

Skipper Bruce Bochy expects Lewis to be ready for the Cactus League opener against Cleveland on Wednesday. Lewis should bat leadoff for the Giants if healthy, and should hit for a solid average and be a nice source for stolen bases. He is worth drafting among the top-30 fantasy outfielders.
