| The Phillies acquired Chris Snelling from the Rays Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, according to the AP. "Chris has always had a great bat, but he has battled some injuries in the past," Phillies assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We feel he will be healthy this coming year and adds a lefthanded hitter and some depth to our outfield." Snelling played in just 30 games in 2007 due to a knee injury, and it's unlikely he'll ever hold any fantasy value outside of NL-only play because of his durability issues. |

| Chris Snelling has started the last three games in right field, with Ichiro shifting over to center, according to the Mariners website.

|
|
|
| In order to get the bat of Chris Snelling into the lineup, the Mariners shifted Ichiro to center field on Sunday, according to the official team website.

Pay attention to where Ichiro plays in the field in the near future. It will determine how much playing time Snelling will get. |
