Newsbreakers
September 1, 2009
Jeff Bailey has been designated for assignment by the Red Sox, according to TSN. He was removed from the DL following his recovery from a high-ankle sprain.
Our View:
The 30-year-old infielder is a career .228 hitter in the majors. He is merely organizational depth at this point of his career.
July 26, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that injured Red Sox' first baseman Jeff Bailey has resumed baseball activities but will still be out for another week to ten days. Bailey has been on the DL since earlier this month with a high ankle sprain.
Our View:
It sounds like Bailey is close to a return, although with the acquisition of Adam LaRoche he will likely return to Triple-A. If Bailey does stay on the big club, he will be a bench bat and nothing more, but it seems more likely that he will get sent down.
July 6, 2009
Jeff Bailey has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Red Sox, according to the Twitter page of the team's beat writer Amalie Benjamin. Bailey rolled his ankle on Saturday in a collision at first base.
Our View:
Bailey was just recalled a week ago, but unfortunately he will not get the opportunity to take advantage. The team recalled first baseman Aaron Bates to take his place on the roster.
June 30, 2009
According to the Twitter page of Red Sox' beat writer Amalie Benjamin, the Red Sox have recalled Jeff Bailey to take the place of the injured Mike Lowell on the roster. Bailey is in the Red Sox lineup for their Tuesday night game in Baltimore.
Our View:
Bailey is hitting only .188 with the Red Sox this season, but he has managed to pound three homers and drive in nine in 69 at-bats. While he has some potential, he should not be considered for fantasy duty at this time.
June 2, 2009
Jeff Bailey has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket by the Red Sox, according to the Associated Press. Mark Kotsay was activated from the DL as the corresponding move.
Our View:
Bailey was only hitting .188 over 69 at-bats with the Sox this season, and was viewed as the most expendable to make room for Kotsay. Bailey will not be missed in fantasy leagues while working on his skills in the minors.
May 28, 2009
Jeff Bailey is slated to start in left field today at Minnesota, according to the Boston Globe. Jason Bay is out of the lineup to rest.
Our View:
Bailey is an unstable fantasy option as he is only hitting .116 over 43 at-bats on the road. He is only hitting .185 for the season as well.
May 19, 2009
Jeff Bailey will return to the bench Wednesday when Kevin Youkilis is activated from the DL, according to the Boston Globe. Bailey has been covering first base with Youkilis on the shelf, and skipper Terry Francona said, "The reason Bailey has been out there every day is because we do have confidence that he will do his job."
Our View:
Bailey was not doing a good job however, as he made two fielding errors at first base, and holds a dismal .182 average over 55 at-bats.
May 9, 2009
Jeff Bailey is slated to make another start at first base today against Tampa Bay in place of the ailing Kevin Youkilis, according to the Boston Globe.
Our View:
Youkilis is not expected back until Tuesday, so Bailey could start Sunday's game at first base as well. Bailey is hitting 3-for-8 over the last two games, and is worth consideration for deeper AL-only leagues.
May 8, 2009
Jeff Bailey ended his 0-for-16 slump with a single in Thursday's outing with Cleveland, according to the Boston Globe. He went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in the game.
Our View:
Bailey started the game at first base in place of the ailing Kevin Youkilis. Bailey did a good job filling in, but still holds little fantasy value as a reserve.
May 6, 2009
Jeff Bailey will start at first base in tonight's home game against the Indians, according to the Boston Globe. Kevin Youkilis is sitting out with an oblique ailment.
Our View:
Bailey will bat seventh in the lineup. Bailey is only hitting 2-for-17 (.118) this season, and is not worth consideration for fantasy lineups tonight.
April 27, 2009
Jeff Bailey will start in right field tonight at Cleveland, according to the Boston Globe. J.D. Drew is out of the lineup while dealing with tightness in his left quad.
Our View:
Bailey hit a homer over two at-bats this season, and is worth a look for deeper AL-only leagues.
April 22, 2009
Jeff Bailey was very impressive on Wednesday night, going 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, three RBI, and a walk. Bailey was called up on Monday after the injury to Rocco Baldelli.
Our View:
Bailey looked very good at the plate on Wednesday, but his fantasy value is still very limited. He should continue to see at-bats sparingly, but he showed tonight that he can hit at this level.
April 20, 2009
Updating a previous report, Jeff Bailey has indeed been called up from Triple-A Pawtucket by Boston, according to the Providence Journal.
Our View:
The move was made as a result of Rocco Baldelli's hamstring injury that will cause the brittle outfielder to land on the DL. Bailey could see occasional at-bats at either corner infield spot or in the outfield, though he won't log enough to muster any fantasy value.
April 20, 2009
The Providence Journal is reporting that Jeff Bailey was removed from Triple-A Pawtucket's game today upon hearing about Rocco Baldelli's injury. It is likely that Baldelli will be put on the DL and the Red Sox will call up Bailey.
Our View:
Bailey doesn't hold much fantasy value, but he may find himself getting some playing time either in the outfield or at one of the corner infield positions. In 50 at-bats last season with Boston, Bailey hit .280 with two homers and six RBI.
March 9, 2009
Jeff Bailey had a big game on Monday for Boston, going 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored. One of his hits was a double.
Our View:
Bailey probably won't have much fantasy value this season, but if Mike Lowell goes down his playing time could increase.
February 26, 2009
First baseman Jeff Bailey drove in both Boston runs Thursday with a two-run single in the first inning of a 3-2 loss to the Pirates.
Our View:
Should the Red Sox encounter injury problems, Bailey could see some time at either corner infield position. He often looked overmatched at the plate a season ago, striking out 17 times in 50 at-bats.
