  • Furcal focused on staying healthy: FOXSportsMidwest.com reports Cardinals SS Rafael Furcal is focused on staying healthy in 2012 and hoping to be more of a contributor than he was during an injury-plagued 2011. "This year is a different year," Furcal said. "Last year I was hurt for two months and never could get my timing down. I only took 300 at-bats when I'm used to taking 600 or 700 at-bats. I've never hit .220 and this year I want to improve my hitting and score more runs for my team."

    Injury Report
    Appendix - Probable for start of spring training
    (Updated - 1/5/12)
    Fantasy Analysis
    Furcal played in just 87 games last season due to injury, but he was more productive once he was traded to the Cardinals. He hit .255 with seven homers, 11 doubles and 16 RBI in 50 regular season games with St. Louis. He struggled in the Cardinals' playoff run, but Furcal is looking to start anew in 2012. Furcal appeared to be swinging for the fences much more down the stretch last season, so he is going to take more of a ground-ball approach this spring. He also hopes to be more aggressive on the base paths. While all this sounds good, Furcal has played more than 140 games just once in the last four seasons. He is more of a middle-infield option in mixed leagues on Draft Day.
