| Twins | No regimen change for Josh Willingham |
Wed, 19 Feb 2014 18:41:19 -0800
Minnesota Twins OF Josh Willingham (knee) said Wednesday, Feb. 19, that he did not change his offseason workout regimen after arthroscopic surgery on his left knee cut his 2013 season short. He said that he feels good in general, and was looking forward to a "clean slate."
Fantasy Tip: Willingham tailed off quite a bit last season, posting the worst full-season batting average (.208) of his career while striking out 128 times and posting a dismal .368 slugging percentage. Based upon those stats, he should come on the cheap late on draft day in AL-only fantasy leagues and mixed formats, and he has the chance for a bounce back. He played hurt for a good chunk of the season, and he could be a cheap source of power late in your draft.
