September 11, 2008 Marco Scutaro had a three hit night against the White Sox on Thursday while he also knocked in his 53rd run of the year for the Jays. Our View:Scutaro has been a great spare part this year with his ability to qualify at multiple positions in the field (2B/3B/SS). His bat isn't great as he's hitting just .269 with an OPS of just barely above .700, but his flexibility certainly gives him value in deep leagues. |

August 21, 2008 Marco Scutaro matched career highs with four hits and four RBIs in Toronto's thrashing of the Yankees 14-3 on Thursday night. Our View:Toronto had 21 hits in all Thursday night, one shy of a club high this season. One of Scutaro's four hits was his fifth home run of the season. |

July 20, 2008 The Jays needed all of the offense they could muster today with a total of seven pitchers hitting the mound, but the troops in the batting order made good to get Toronto the 9-4 win over Tampa Bay. Second baseman Marco Scutaro was one of the top soldiers for the cause, going 1-for-4 with one walk and his fourth homer of the season to drive in three, adding two runs scored to the stat line along the way. Our View:Scutaro hasn't been too helpful for fantay owners this season, hitting just .269 through July with a disappointing .333 OBP. Today he made one good swing of the bat, and you know that's nothing to get too excited about. |

May 28, 2008 Marco Scutaro started in left field for the Jays on Tuesday night. It was his third appearance of the year at that spot. Scutaro had been playing shortstop, but starter David Eckstein came off the DL on Tuesday. The utility man went 1-for-4 in the loss to the A's. Our View:Outfield is not totally foreign to Scutaro. He played a career-high 10 games between left and right field in 2007. Marco isn't useful outside AL-only leagues, but it's always amazing how this guy tends to find at-bats year after year. |

May 10, 2008 The Toronto Blue Jays posted nine hits against the Cleveland Indians this evening, but not one resulted in a run scored as the Jays fall hard, 12-0. SS Marco Scutaro went 2-for-4 at the plate and was the only Jay to post an extra-base hit, picking up his second double of the season. Our View:Scutaro is now on a role, going 8-for-17 over his last four games. |
|
May 7, 2008 Marco Scutaro, starting at shortstop with David Eckstein and John McDonald injured, went 3-for-4 with two RBI for the Jays. Our View:Scutaro is still best left as a AL Only player, but these extra few AB he is in line to pick up will certainly give his owners the warm and fuzzies. |

April 6, 2008 Marco Scutaro is expected to start at third base against the Red Sox on Sunday, according to the Providence Journal. Scutaro has been nursing a hand ailment, but is reportedly ready to go today. |
|
April 3, 2008 Marco Scutaro was hit on the hand by a pitch in the ninth inning against the Yankees on Wednesday, according to the Toronto Star. Manager Gibbons commented that he was feeling "tender" and that the hand will be checked again today. If Scutaro is a scratch, then John McDonald would likely get the call at third base. |

March 26, 2008 Marco Scutaro continues to lobby for fantasy consideration, enjoying a strong day of hitting for the Blue Jays in a 6-3 win over Cincinnati. Slated to start at third base while Scott Rolen recovers from injury, Scutaro went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored, bringing his spring batting average to .314. The utility man for the Jays, likely to see time at third, second, and in the outfield this season, is showing he can get work done at the plate regardless of his position in the field. In AL-only formats, Scutaro is starting to become a rather attractive option. |
|
March 23, 2008 Marco Scutaro, who is expected to be the opening day third baseman for the Jays now that Scott Rolen (finger) is like headed to the disabled list, hit a two-run home run on Sunday. Scutaro will see time at second base, third base, and in the outfield this year and with his likely start on opening day, he becomes fantasy-friendly as a corner or middle infielder in AL-only formats. |
|
February 21, 2008 Jays skipper John Gibbons told Slam Sports on Wednesday that Marco Scutaro will see time at second base, third base, and in the outfield this year. The journeyman joins John McDonald giving Toronto two talented and versatile players. |

January 18, 2008 Marco Scutaro signed a two-year, $2.65 million deal with the Blue Jays Thursday. Scutaro was acquired in an offseason deal with Oakland, where he hit .260 with seven homers and 41 RBI in 104 games. |
