Our View: The 27-year-old outfielder has been hindered by injuries over his career, but was picked up by San Diego after batting .385 with Team Australia in the first round of the World Baseball Classic. He could earn a bench role with the Padres this season if he can just stay healthy.

| 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. |

"I know what the doctors told me (contusion), but in my mind, I'm always worried." It's unclear if Snelling will be forced to miss any time with the injury, but given his injury history, expect the A's to be cautious with him. |

|
|
| 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. However, it is unclear how often this will happen. Manager Mike Hargrove likes the idea of getting Snelling into the lineup more often, but he wants to make sure that Ichiro is comfortable in center field. Pay attention to where Ichiro plays in the field in the near future. It will determine how much playing time Snelling will get. |
