  • Dozier adjusting to majors well: Brian Dozier heads into Fantasy Week 8 (May 21-27) having started 14 straight games at shortstop for Minnesota since his promotion from the minors. He's adjusted well to life in the majors, batting .279 with two homers, three doubles and eight RBI. "He's a good player," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told MLB.com. "He's hit at every level he's been at. We've watched this young hitter, and he knows what he's doing. He knows what pitches to look for. The league is going to get to know him, and he'll have to adjust a little bit. But right now, the league is trying to figure him out, so it's a good thing and he's taking advantage of it." Dozier has also been sharp defensively, creating just one error and turning 10 double plays. "He's obviously got the tools to play the game," teammate Jamey Carroll said. "He's a great defender, and he's got some pop in his bat."

    Fantasy Analysis
    Dozier, who is a 2009 eighth-round draft pick, has had an interesting rise to the majors. He began last year in high Class A, but he progressed to Double-A thanks to strong hitting and was eventually the team's minor league player of the year. Dozier hit .320 with a .491 slugging percentage and .890 OPS in 127 games last year. He began 2012 with Triple-A Rochester, but after a torrid start the Twins felt he was major-league ready. Thus far, he's past the test. As Gardenhire has hinted, the Twins are expecting some bumps in the road once major-league pitchers get a scouting report on him. But for now Dozier passes as a viable low-end option in deep Fantasy formats.
