Newsbreakers

October 10, 2009

Erick Aybar went 2-for-3, tripled and drove in a pair of runs in the Angels 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Friday. LA now holds a 2-0 lead in the ALDS as the series heads to Boston.

Our View:

The Halos were held to just six hits all game, but Aybar made his two count. The scrappy shortstop hit .312 during the regular season and acts as a second leadoff hitter, batting in the ninth spot. That plan has worked for the Angels so far, as he's hitting .429 for the series.

September 15, 2009

Erick Aybar went 2-for-4 with an RBI in tonight's 4-1 loss at Boston. He hit a single and a double, and also swiped a base.

Our View:

The Angels only mustered six hits in the game, and Aybar was their lone source of scoring. Aybar has a hit in nine of his last 11 games, and raised his batting average to .303.

August 6, 2009

Erick Aybar had another big day at the plate on Thursday as the Angels beat the White Sox 9-5. Aybar went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI in the game.

Our View:

Aybar has his average up to .311 for the season, and he is turning out to be a very good player. He has four homers on the season, and he is also contributing in the RBI, stolen base, and runs scored categories. He could be a nice addition if you need a shortstop for the stretch.

July 21, 2009

Erick Aybar went 4-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Royals in the bottom half of their doubleheader. He hit two singles, a double and a triple.

Our View:

Aybar enjoyed a big day, as he racked up three hits in the first game of the twin bill. He is impressively hitting .491 over 53 at-bats this month.

June 16, 2009

Erick Aybar led the Angels offensively in Monday's 9-7 win at San Francisco as he went 2-for-5 with a single and a two-run homer off Barry Zito.

Our View:

Aybar has two hits in three of his last four games, with five RBI over the span. Keep him active in fantasy leagues while he is hot.

May 16, 2009

Erick Aybar was huge for the Angels on Friday, but his team lost to the Rangers 10-8. Aybar was 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, a home run, two runs, and two RBI.

Our View:

Aybar has put up respectable numbers this season, but his value is limited to AL-only leagues. He doesn't do anything great, but he is a solid hitter, so he can provide some average.

May 2, 2009

Updating an earlier report, X-rays on Erick Aybar's injured jaw came back negative, according to the Orange County Register.

Our View:

He had some teeth knocked loose when struck in the face when a ball ricocheted off Derek Jeter's helmet, but he is expected to be OK. Aybar may be able to return to the lineup as soon as Sunday.

May 2, 2009

Infielder Erick Aybar left Saturday's game in the first inning after a throw to second bounced off Derek Jeter's helmet and hit Aybar in the upper left jaw, MLB.com reports. Maicer Izturis replaced Aybar.

Our View:

We don't have any more details at this point, and we'll pass along information as it becomes available.

March 30, 2009

Erick Aybar went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI in Monday's 13-3 win over the White Sox.

Our View:

It was the third home run of the spring for the infielder, who may be on his way to earning an everyday job at shortstop. In 44 at-bats he is hitting .477 and slugging .829. He has three doubles and three triples to go along with his trio of home runs. He is still in competition with Brandon Wood, but he figures to be winning that battle at the present moment.
