"When the Giants Come to Town..." is my blog intended to chronicle my thoughts on San Francisco Giants baseball. My special interest is in prospects and the farm system, but of course, will comment on all aspects of the San Francisco Giants. I will also comment on baseball in general, particularly from a fantasy baseball perspective. I hope you will find the site informative, and invite you to join in the discussion.

Fantasy Impact: DH
Already confined to one league, DH is a role in transition and the ranks of pure DH's is getting smaller. More teams are rotating 4 OF's, and other starting combinations to fill the role. A lot of the old guard DH's have retired or are seeing their careers in decline. The big news this year is Vlad Guerrero losing his OF eligibility. He should be a good risk with high payoff as DH in Texas where he's play his home games in a ballpark where he has put up absurd numbers in his career. Hideki Matsui, David Ortiz, and Travis Hafner might be draftable in mixed leagues, but that's about it. I know I wouldn't take Jim Thome, Pat Burrell, Mike Jacobs, Andruw Jones, Mike Sweeney or Junior Griffey in my draft.
