Newsbreakers

November 16, 2009

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting that Chris Coghlan has been named the National League's Rookie of the Year for 2009. J.A. Happ was the runner-up.

Our View:

While Happ was very deserving, the choice of Coghlan cannot be quibbled with. He hit .321 with 164 hits, 113 of which came after the All-Star break. He'll be an outfielder to take a long, hard look at in the earlier mid rounds next season.

October 4, 2009

Chris Coghlan was at it again on Sunday. The hit machine had a 3-for-5 afternoon with two runs scored and an RBI in a 7-6 loss to the Phillies.

Our View:

Coghlan finishes 2009 with a .312 average, 31 doubles, nine homers, 84 runs scored and 47 RBI. He'll get plenty of looks as the rookie of the year and will be a valuable fantasy player next season with a full schedule under his belt. The Fish may also try and move Dan Uggla so Coghlan can play his natural position (second base).

October 3, 2009

Chris Coghlan went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in the Marlins 4-3 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

Our View:

Coghlan is now hitting .319 with nine homers and 46 RBI this season and could very well be the NL's Rookie of the Year for 2009. He'll have to get by Tommy Hanson of the Braves and J.A. Happ of the Phillies, but has more than a fighting chance of taking home the award.

September 29, 2009

Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Chris Coghlan's 43 hits this month lead the entire major leagues.

Our View:

Coghlan is batting .315 with nine home runs and 44 RBI in 123 games this season, and would likely be the favorite for the National League rookie-of-the-year award if he played in any other city. As a Marlin, however, he will face very stiff competition from the likes of Atlanta's Tommy Hanson, Chicago's Randy Wells and St. Louis' Colby Rasmus, among others.

September 27, 2009

Chris Coghlan collected two more hits on Sunday, but the Marlins couldn't get on the board, getting shutout 4-0 at home by the Mets.

Our View:

Coghlan's absurd September continues, as he is now batting .372 in 24 games.

September 22, 2009

Chris Coghlan had yet another multi-hit game on Tuesday against the Phillies. He was 2-for-5 as the Marlins fell 9-3.

Our View:

Coghlan has his average up to .311 on the season and he now has 12 multi-hit games this month. The Rookie of the Year candidate has been on fire since August 1st.

September 17, 2009

Rookie of the year candidate Chris Coghlan went 4-for-4 on Thursday night, but couldn't drive in any runs, as the Marlins lost 3-2 in Cincinnati.

Our View:

Coghlan is now batting .309 in 113 games, including a scorching .381 since August 1.

September 10, 2009

Chris Coghlan went 3-for-6 with a couple runs scored in the Marlins' 13-4 win over the Mets on Thursday.

Our View:

Coghlan has flat out been getting it done in the leadoff spot for the Fish. After hitting .385 in August, he's batting .415 this month and has already scored 12 runs. His average is up .308 on the season and he is garnering Rookie of the Year attention.

September 2, 2009

Chris Coghlan racked up another multi-hit game on Tuesday. He went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the Marlins' 4-3 loss to the Braves.

Our View:

Coghlan now has his average up to .301 on the season. Looks like he's trying for a repeat of his monster month of August where he hit .385.

August 27, 2009

Chris Coghlan belted two solo home runs off Mets starter Tim Redding on Thursday, but didn't get a lot of offensive help from his teammates. He finished the day 3-for-4, but the Marlins fell 10-3.

Our View:

Coghlan has been on fire since August 1st and has thrown his name into the hat for Rookie of the Year consideration. He has gone hitless in just two games all month, has collected 14 multi-hit games and has raised his average 41 points (.252 to .293). He's also hit four homers and drove in 16 this month from the leadoff spot.

August 19, 2009

Chris Coghlan stayed hot on Wednesday in the Marlins' 6-3 loss to the Astros. Coghlan went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in the game.

Our View:

This guy is just killing the ball in the month of August, and his average is all the way up to .290 after he started the month hitting .252 to start August. He is worth a look in all leagues at this point, so jump on him if he is available.

August 16, 2009

Chris Coghlan continued his torrid pace this month with a 3-for-5 outing on Sunday. He also hit his seventh homer and drove in three in the Marlins' 10-3 win over the Rockies.

Our View:

Coghlan has created an impressive season thanks to his recent hot streak. He has raised his average from .252 to .287 this month and has shown some nice pop as well (four doubles, two homers).

August 8, 2009

Chris Coghlan went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and a pair of walks in the Marlins' 6-4 win over the Phillies Saturday.

Our View:

Coghlan has busted out. After struggling when he was called up May, he rebounded in June, but again fizzled in July. August has been a different story though. He has multiple hits in every game this month and is hitting near .500 over his last 32 at-bats.

August 4, 2009

Chris Coghlan led the way for the Marlins on Tuesday, but it wasn't enough as his team fell to Washington 6-4. Coghlan went 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in the game.

Our View:

Coghlan has his average up to .265 this season, and he has been seeing time at the top of the order for the Marlins as of late. He could be worth a look in NL-only formats, but only in deeper leagues.

June 16, 2009

Chris Coghlan picked up the Marlins only two RBIs on Tuesday night, as the Fish got pounded 8-2 by Boston.

Our View:

Coghlan has had RBIs in two straight games now after not having picked one up since June 7. He isn't worth a roster spot except for in deeper NL only leagues.

June 7, 2009

Marlins' rookie Chris Coghlan hit a two-run homer off of Tim Lincecum in the eighth-inning of the Marlins' 3-2 loss to the Giants. It was his only hit on the day.

Our View:

The bomb was just Coghlan's second of the season and the youngster has yet to really impress in his rookie campaign. He has the ability to be a legit fantasy talent, but has yet to put it together. As witnessed by his .224 average.

May 13, 2009

Chris Coghlan hit his first career home run in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Brewers. He was 1-for-4 on the day with three RBI.

Our View:

Coghlan is an exciting young prospect and is a valuable pick in keeper leagues if you can grab him off the waiver wire. His bat is Major League-ready and he will qualify at multiple positions.

May 8, 2009

Updating a previous report, Chris Coghlan will play multiple positions and remain in the lineup as long as his bat produces, according to the Palm Beach Post. He will start in left field tomorrow after getting the nod at second base tonight.

Our View:

The Marlins are big on this kid and they seem to want his bat in the lineup as much as possible. He will cost Cameron Maybin some playing time and if he starts out hot he could become a staple in the outfield. Wait and see how he performs, but he could have some real fantasy value down the road.

May 8, 2009

According to the South Florid Sun-Sentinel, Chris Coghlan will get the start tonight at second base. Dan Uggla has been given the night off.

Our View:

Coghlan is a nice prospect, which the Marlins always seem to have droves of, and it looks like the team wants to see what he's made of right away. He was hitting .344 in Triple-A and will be batting in front of Hanley Ramirez tonight.

May 8, 2009

Chris Coghlan has been recalled by the Marlins from Triple-A New Orleans, according to ESPN.

Our View:

The 23-year-old is a top infielding prospect, and was hitting .344 over 25 games in Triple-A. He will see some action while providing depth behind Dan Uggla and Emilio Bonifacio. He is worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues.

March 25, 2009

Chris Coghlan has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Marlins, according to the Miami Herald. Tim Wood was optioned to Double-A Jacksonville as well.

Our View:

The 23-year-old Coghlan was not expected to earn a reserve spot as a corner infielder with the Marlins.

March 23, 2009

Chris Coghlan was 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI against the Astros on Monday.

Our View:

The 23-year-old Coghlan is wearing No. 72 in spring training, so you know his chances of cracking the 25-man roster are slim. He will likely spend the season in Triple-A.
