I couldn't hit it sideways: a Tampa Bay Rays preview

South Side Sox — Offense: Desmond Jennings-CF, Sam Fuld-LF, Evan Longoria-3B, Ben Zobrist-2B, James Loney-1B, Shelley Duncan-DH, Matt Joyce-RF, Jose Molina-C, Yunel Escobar-SS. Bench: Jose Lobaton-C, Sean Rodriguez-INF, Kelly Johnson-UTIL, Ryan Roberts-UTIL. TB R/G: 3.76. CHW R/G: 3.30. Why hello there team that is superficially similar to us offensively! It's nice to see someone else doing relatively terrible. Desmond Jennings didn't exactly hit the ground running last season, only managing a somewhat disappointing .309 wOBA which even accounts for his sterling 31 stolen bases against just two caugh...

Are we undervaluing Sam Fuld?

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Sam Fuld does not have an ADP from this year's drafts. His ownership shows up at zero percent. But I know that number is somewhat flawed, because I am a Sam Fuld owner.  Fuld is starting in right field in the Rays' opening day lineup. He managed 308 at-bats in 2011. If he wasn't hurt for much of last year, he probably would have gotten more than those 98 at-bats, too. Fuld doesn't hit for a great average, but he has decent speed and the ground he covers defensively -- as well as his status as a Joe Maddon Favorite -- may keep him in the lineup more than any of us realize.  Especially with Luke...
