Player Notes

June 28, 2009
Gary Matthews Jr. only had one hit on Sunday, but he managed to drive in three, score a run, and steal home in the Angels' 12-8 win over the D-Backs. Matthews Jr. is hitting .224 on the year.

Our View:Nice production from Matthews Jr. today, but these days have been few and far-between this season. He should not be owned in any leagues at this point, and don't expect that to change in the near future.

June 9, 2009
Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reports that the Angels would "love" to trade outfielder Gary Matthews Jr. "for the same type of overpaid, underperforming player."

Our View:He also reports that the Angels would love to win 20 straight World Series with a $20 million payroll. That may be a joke, but Matthews bloated contract and minimal production are not. From the revelations that he used HGH, to his .247 cumulative average with the Angels, Matthews and his $50 million contract have been a humongous disappointment. Batting only .246 with one home run in 2009, he is also not a viable fantasy option in any format.

May 13, 2009
According to MLBlogs.com, Gary Matthews Jr. was a late scratch for Wednesday's game due to tightness in his lower back.

Our View:He is considered day-to-day and was replaced in the lineup by Reggie Willits.

May 6, 2009
Gary Matthews Jr. had another nice night on Tuesday as the Angels beat the A's 5-3. Matthews Jr. went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI.

Our View:Matthews Jr. has really come on since Vlad went down, and he is earning himself some playing time when Vlad comes back. His fantasy value is good right now, but it should decrease upon Vlad's return.

May 1, 2009
Gary Matthews Jr. had three hits on Friday, but the Angels lost to the Yankees 10-9. Matthews was 3-for-4 with a run and four RBI. He is hitting .306 on the season.

Our View:Matthews has been playing well since his playing time increased due to the injury to Vlad Guerrero. Matthews remains an option in AL-only leagues until Vlad comes back, and he is worth a look in deeper mixed leagues for the time being.
