Jason Bartlett

[pujolsjunkie]

Off to quite a sizzling start this year. The Rays like him for his defense and speed, but the offensive burst he's displaying is very encouraging. A .932 OPS from a guy that hasn't topped .700 in a full season yet is obviously unsustainable (particularly thanks to a .394 BABIP), but the gains in power, if at all for real, make for a very interesting boost to this team. If Bartlett throws together a .300-15-75 year with 30+ steals, along with his glove, the Rays have themselves a total stud. As if the Delmon deal wasn't bad enough for the Twins with Garza emerging as a top of the rotation starter...

Replace Blackburn with Garza and Nick Punto/Brendan Harris with Bartlett, and boy would the Twins have a better team...

Liriano, Garza, Baker, Slowey, Perkins

Oh what could have been...

Start him over Joey Votto in all formats.

Guys, Jason deserves more responses than this.

The only reason your twins have Lariano is because my Giants are retards and traded him AND Nathan for A.J. in what is possibly the worst trade in baseball history.
On topic: Bartlett is the man. I have him on all my fantasy teams.

They're not my Twins. I'm a Yankee fan. :lol:

Sorry I thought I read "my twins" instead of "the twins"
