Utley Has a Fulltime Job!

This is fantastic news. Sorta. Because I had drafted Brian Roberts in so many leagues, I've been set at 2B. Normally I would have invested in Utley as a decent backup 2B with tons of potential, but I didn't this year because of Roberts' ridiculous production.

So today, the Phillies traded Placido Polanco to the Detroit Tigers for Ugeth Urbina and infielder Ramon Martinez - a move that completely opens up the 2B job for Chase Utley full-time. (He had previously been platooning with Polanco, starting versus righthanders.)

This will most likely be the hottest young infielder moved around in fantasy leagues this week.

But should he? I say no - Andy Marte should be. With Chipper Jones out 3-4 weeks for the Braves, Andy Marte was called up. He's an incredibly highly touted rookie, with potential on par with Miquel Cabrera. Keeper league owners beware - whoever grabs this kid off of waivers could be running away with the league in the next few years.
