Newsbreakers
December 13, 2009
Joey Gathright has signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays, according to MLB writer Jordan Bastian's twitter page.
Our View:
Gathright will be invited to spring training, and could compete for a role in center field.
September 30, 2009
Joey Gathright was productive in tonight's 12-0 loss to Toronto at Fenway Park, as he went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles.
Our View:
Gathright accounted for two of Boston's three hits tonight, with the other being recorded by Rocco Baldelli. Gathrigh started the game in center field to give Jacoby Ellsbury a day off as the Sox gear up for the playoffs.
September 1, 2009
Joey Gathright has been recalled by the Red Sox from Triple-A Pawtucket, according to TSN.
Our View:
He does not look to see much action while merely providing depth in the outfield, and being used as an option as a pinch-runner.
August 29, 2009
Joey Gathright has been acquired from the Orioles for cash and a player to be named later.
Our View:
He will report to Triple-A Pawtucket, and will serve as nothing more than a pinch-runner should he get a September call-up.
May 8, 2009
According to the Baltimore Sun, speedy outfielder Joey Gathright has been traded to the Orioles for Ryan Freel. Gathright will be assigned directly to Triple-A Norfolk.
Our View:
Gathright has very good speed, but didn't have much of a chance to utilize it this season. He did manage one steal, but was gunned down twice. In just 14 at-bats on the season he collected three hits and spent most of his time on the bench due to a crowded Cubs' outfield. Gathright has little if any fantasy value even if he gets a call-up from the minors.
May 8, 2009
Joey Gathright is expected to be sent down to Triple-A Iowa to make room for pitcher Randy Wells on the roster, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Our View:
Gathright is only hitting 3-for-14 (all singles) over limited action in the Cubs' crowded outfield, and he is viewed as the most expendable. He has one stolen base, but was caught twice.
March 15, 2009
Joey Gathright was 2-for-5 with two runs scored, a strikeout, and three stolen bases in the Cubs 10-7 win over Arizona on Sunday.
Our View:
Looking at the spring numbers to date, and Gathright has outperformed Reed Johnson in the battle for centerfield, at least offensively. However, Johnson seems like the more reliable option, but it could end up being a platoon situation, with Gathright seeing the majority of right-handers. If that is the case, Gathright could make a run at 30-40 steals which would make him relevant in most fantasy leagues.
