Player Notes

November 30, 2008
Jay Payton commented that he would consider returning to Boston after asking the team to trade him back in 2005, according to the Boston Globe. Payton said, "When I talked to my agent recently, Boston was the first team I mentioned. I don't know if it's in the cards or if I squished my chances of ever returning there. I know the circumstances of my departure from there a few years back were blown out of proportion."

Our View:Payton would serve as the fourth outfielder if brought back to Boston, replacing Coco Crisp, who departed to Kansas City.

August 22, 2008
After an 0-for-4 evening in the Orioles 9-4 loss to the Yankees, Jay Payton saw his batting average crumble further downward, all the way to .239. His average has dropped more than 25 points since late June.

Our View:Payton is really struggling, and after having his average at .265 on June 26, it's fallen off dramatically. Payton does not hit for enough power or drive in enough runs for fantasy owners to deal with his poor average.

June 26, 2008
The Cubs are probably happy to get Jay Payton out of town. He went 2-for-5 with three RBI in today's game, a day after he hit two home runs. Payton leaves Wrigley having gone 4-for-10 for the series with seven RBI.

Our View:Payton has had a nice June, and is now hitting .333 for the month, with 15 RBI. He could be a decent pick-up in deep AL only leagues.

June 25, 2008
Jay Payton had a huge effort in the Orioles loss on Wednesday as he socked two home runs on his way to four RBI.

Our View:No one has noticed, but Payton has been one of the most effective part-time players in baseball in June with a .325 average, two home runs and 12 RBI in just 40 AB.

June 7, 2008
Jay Payton went 3-for-5 and collected five RBI in Saturday's 9-5 win over Toronto. He had one double, and two singles.

Our View:Those were his first runs batted in this month, and he only has 20 for the season. That was also his first multi-hit game since May 25.
