  • Desmond to remain leadoff hitter?: Though one of the Nationals goals this offseason is to acquire a legitimate leadoff hitter, manager Davey Johnson is content keeping Ian Desmond in the role, according to MLB.com. Desmond hit .253 overall last season but .281 out of the leadoff spot.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Unfortunately for Desmond, Johnson isn't in charge of personnel. The 26-year-old might be the organization's fallback option at the leadoff spot, but his poor walk rate makes him not such a great fit for the role. He reached base at only a .298 clip last year. His free-swinging ways also limit his batting average, so other than as a modest source of stolen bases, Desmond isn't such an attractive Fantasy option entering 2012. He's worth drafting as a late-round middle infielder, but nothing more.
