Player Notes

June 17, 2008
The Pirates couldn't conjure enough offense or pitching this evening, resulting in a disappointing 16-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox. For the Pirates, outfielder Jason Michaels did what he could to help the cause, going 1-for-4 with a double to total two RBIs and one run scored on the night.

Our View:Michaels is hitting just .276 through June but has already doubled his run production over the month before, now touting 17 RBIs through June versus the seven he posted last month.

June 5, 2008
Jason Michaels hit a three run homer on Thursday night giving him home runs in back-to-back AB during which time he racked up an amazing seven RBI.

Our View:Over the past six games Michaels is 6-for-13 with 11 RBI, so in the obvious statement of the night, he should be picked up in NL Only leagues. Of course, Michaels isn't this type of hitter, so expect him to recede into the woodwork some time in the near future.

June 2, 2008
Jason Michaels socked his first homer of the year on Monday, and it was a good one. The outfielder came off the bench and hit a grand slam off Adam Wainwright.

Our View:Michaels is hitting .324 since the trade from the Indians to the Pirates, but he doesn't play regularly enough to be useful in most fantasy leagues.

May 8, 2008
Former Indians outfielder Jason Michaels was traded to the Pirates on Thursday for a minor league player to be named later, according to MLB.com.

Our View:Is this move a precursor to a trade of Jason Bay or Xavier Nady? Michaels could never in three seasons replace either of those players production, but he is a nice depth addition for the club and had no role to play in Cleveland when the team recalled Ben Francisco.

May 6, 2008
Jason Michaels has officially been designated for assignment, according to the AP. Outfielder Ben Francisco has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, and Michaels was seen as expendable to free up a roster spot.

Our View:The 32-year old Michaels was struggling with a .207 average over 58 at-bats, with 13 strikeouts, and held no fantasy value prior to his demotion.
