Jose Barrero Starting In Center Field
11 months agoCincinnati Reds infielder Jose Barrero is starting in center field and is hitting ninth in the batting order on Friday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Clarke Schmidt. With rookie Matt McLain taking over the 6 in Cincinnati, Barrero has to find other avenues for playing time with the Reds. The 25-year-old hasn't been much of a fantasy commodity through 32 games this year, and batting in the nine-hole makes him completely avoidable for fantasy lineups. Barrero enters Friday's contest against the Yanks with a .237 average (23-for-97) with seven doubles, one home run, 12 RBI, three stolen bases and 10 runs scored in 109 plate appearances.
